Metso Outotec Index metal recycling data collection system

The Metso Outotec Index operating and production data collection system from its metal recycling business transfers relevant data from the recycling machine directly to the user’s equipment.

Index offers an intelligent way to increase machine productivity, optimise the cost-benefit ratio and identify limiting parameters at an early stage.

Accessible via mobile app or from the dashboard any time, one click is all it takes to find out immediately how high the current capacity utilisation is, which material is currently being processed, how many operating hours the equipment has already been running or what the general condition of the metal recycling machine is.

All the equipment data can be visualised, displayed and analysed in the Index web portal and, if necessary, transferred to programs and systems designed for controlling purposes. The server used to back up data is currently one of the most secure servers on the market, according to the company.

The server is located in Europe and is therefore subject to European data protection regulations.

Index will be available as standard equipment in these Lindemann shears: EtaCut II, EtaCut, PowerCut/LUC as well as PowerCut Wings/LIS and LU. In addition, users have the option of retrofitting their current stock shears of the previously mentioned machine types with Index. It will soon be available for presses and shredder systems.
