Remondis, a recycling, service and water management specialist, expanded the use of Continental digital solutions across its locations.
ContiConnect Monitoring System
A year ago, Remondis expanded the use of the ContiConnect digital tyre pressure monitoring system across five locations. According to Robert Dressel, Managing Director of Remondis Sachsen based in Altenburg, Germany: “We have equipped half of the vehicles in our fleet with tyre sensors and have also installed a reader at our depot in Altenburg, which automatically records tyre data.”
This means that more than 50 Remondis vehicles in Thuringia and Saxony are equipped with Continental digital solutions. “With ContiConnect, we have been able to prevent breakdowns and tyre damage on several occasions,” shared Dressel. This helped the company detect any tyre pressure loss and prevent vehicle downtime. The punctuality of the company’s services also improved as a result, which plays a major role in increasing customer satisfaction and bringing more calm to hectic everyday operations. This, in turn, has a healthy effect on employee positivity.
Sustainability plays a big role in Remondis’ business philosophy. Its operations may extend across 30 countries, but the company is working with sustainable solutions on a local level, too – increasingly supported by digital technologies. “Given the persistently high fuel prices and high levels of tyre wear we were experiencing, we decided to look more closely at monitoring tyre pressures,” says Dressel. Remondis switched to nearby tyre partner Thüsac Windischleuba and now also uses the Conti360° Solutions all-round fleet package with tyre contract and ContiConnect digital tyre monitoring system.
High Efficiency and Lower CO2 Emissions
Tyre service, tyre pressure monitoring and correct tyre selection ensure that Remondis vehicle tyres always have optimal pressure which prevents unexpected tyre failures and significantly improves tyre life. This helps the company improve its efficiency and reduce its CO2 emissions.
A digitalised fleet enables predictive maintenance, which in turn contributes effectively to cutting CO2 emissions and protecting resources. “ContiConnect supports our customers in their day-to-day operations through comprehensive recording of tyre data and subsequent analysis of that data,” explains Anton Weisbrich, Head of Digital Solutions Germany at Continental. “By providing straightforward access to all the tyre data with a single button, including automated warning messages and action recommendations, ContiConnect helps ensure our tyres are being used as effectively as possible. For our customers, this ultimately means less tyre breakdowns and lower fuel consumption, and makes planning a good deal easier.”
Remondis began using ContiConnect in 2020 in Südwestfalen and is now expanding it to other locations in Saxony.
