Field trial April / May 2018 Rosul Group Excavator CAT-324D The Supertech was installed on a Caterpillar model 324D excavator that is excavating a basement for a building under construction located in zone 4 of our city. The excavator works, on a regular day, from 7:00 a.m. at 5:00 p.m. performing, cutting and loading the existing material, using only one operator. The fuel tank is regularly filled after every 2 or 3 days and the head of machinery reports the following information: Date Initial Horometer Final Horometer Fuel received (in the tank). With this information we have prepared a chart that provides us with the following information: Hours worked. Fuel consumed for each hour of work of the excavator. We had a look at the documents they use to monitor the performance of the machines in operation. For the sample in question we use the months of April and May. Note: The device was installed on April 20 before starting the work day.
