The Hydraulics Industry Wins by Embracing Innovation

The hydraulics industry is quickly changing and upgrading. It's a good idea to let the workers on-site to develop the necessary skills and provide excellent insights into machine maintenance and repair with the correct equipment, training, and technology.

The Hydraulics Industry Wins by Embracing Innovation

The hydraulics industry innovation movement is reshaping how businesses operate across forestry, mining, earthmoving, and civil sectors. With the right combination of equipment, training, and technology, on-site workers are gaining new skills, improving efficiency, and ensuring machinery stays productive with minimal downtime

Embracing Innovation in the Hydraulics Industry

Innovation requires courage, commitment, and a willingness to embrace change, even when it feels uncomfortable. In the hydraulics industry, innovation is more than just new ideas; it’s about execution, adaptability, and results. At BOA Hydraulics, we’ve seen firsthand how industries that embrace new technology can:

  • Increase productivity
  • Reduce costly downtime
  • Upskill their team
  • Improve health and safety outcomes

Innovation for Forestry Industry

The forestry sector is an excellent illustration of how new technologies and methods enable businesses to reach more remote locations and improve worker health and safety.

Drones have improved forestry management and increased visibility on the job by enabling aerial surveying, data processing, and forestry audits. The accuracy of grapple camera systems has improved, and remote-controlled robots are now more prevalent. In such a forward-thinking business, BOA's hydraulic repairs and maintenance solution was hailed as a positive step toward independence and control over downtime and expenses.

Innovation for Mining and Earthmoving Industry

Mining and earthmoving industries, like forestry, have used technological advancements to improve the efficiency of their operations.

Productivity and safety have seen a welcome improvement thanks to automated machinery that integrates with GPS, 3D machine control systems, and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), as well as the capability of one driver to run numerous machines at once.

Repairing and maintaining hydraulic hoses is not rocket science, according to BOA, which has a thorough understanding of the forestry, mining, and civil industries. Workers on-site can develop the necessary skills and provide excellent insights into machine maintenance and repair with the correct equipment, training, and technology.

According to BOA Director Simon Boakes, "We've always been rather progressive in that we wanted to find a solution around decreasing productivity and how can we put more money back into hard-working people's pockets."

The Next Big Thing in Hydraulic Hose Repair

We have been following the forestry, mining, and earthmoving industries that BOA works with for the past few years. And we're still pleased by the progress and innovations that helped these industries increase efficiencies, reduced downtime, and up-skilled thousands of people.
