Hydraulic hose repair & maintenance just got smarter with BOAhub
The BOAhub is the perfect mobile app for hose mechanics. This app is a multi-platform, multi-device application that allows users to select and build hoses, order hydraulic hoses and fittings online, and accurately manage inventory to assist with asset management.
BOAhub - The Mobile App For Hose Mechanics
BOA Hydraulics' latest innovation in hydraulic hose technology, the BOAhub, now enables heavy machinery users to better manage their hydraulic assets for greater productivity and protection against unplanned downtime.
The BOAhub is a truly multi-platform, multi-device application that allows you to select and build your own hoses, order your hydraulic hose and fittings online, and accurately manage your inventory to assist with asset management. It is available on Apple and Android phones and tablets, as well as a web app.
BOAhub Hose maker: make your own hydraulic hose
A key feature of the BOAhub is the innovative Hose maker. This tool helps users make their own hydraulic hoses onsite, complete with the correcting fittings. The Hose maker saves each hose recipe the user makes, so they can easily retrieve and replicate it when replacing hoses.
How to use the BOAhub Hose maker
To make your own hydraulic hose:
- Log in to the BOAhub app
- Select the 'Hose maker' function
- Select your hose type, hose group and hose diameter
- Choose the correct fitting by selecting the angle thread size you need
- Measure the hose thread physically with verniers to find the correct internal or external diameter measurement
- Select from a list of available threads - these are filtered to fit the hose you are building.
This activity is supported by a help feature that ensures the angles of your fittings are correct.
As you design the hose, Hose maker will save your hose recipes for easy recall when a hose blows. This tool contributes to the ease of preventative hydraulic maintenance.
Scan to order your hydraulic hoses and fittings
Another great feature of the BOAhub app is the mobile Scan to order feature. Every BOA Hydraulics set up has labeled bins. These labels identify the type of hose and fitting crew members are using.
When it comes time to reorder inventory and add parts to hose assemblies, users can simply scan the labels of the products inside the Scan to order feature on BOAhub.
All key features work offline and update as soon as you are back in coverage.
What's next for BOAhub?
At BOA Hydraulics, we've got an exciting roadmap of innovation ahead, and the BOAhub app is the central focus point.
According to the University of Wollongong in Australia, 37% of unplanned downtime is due to hydraulic hose failure.
It's therefore risky to work with an unpredictable 'fix-when-fail' strategy for hydraulic maintenance. Waiting until a hose blows to replace it has a great financial on business, as operations stall. To avoid costly reactive repairs, BOAhub helps heavy machinery operators schedule their hydraulic maintenance in advance and make considerable savings.
Automating parts of the hydraulic hose repair and maintenance process helps to increase the productivity and profitability of hydraulic assets. This includes hose building, access to hose technicians for quick repairs, hydraulic maintenance, and inventory management.
As BOAhub develops, we're finding ways to further reduce that downtime, and bring greater accessibility and transparency to hydraulic maintenance.
