Peab & IoT-TICKET: Real-time, predictive maintenance brings savings worksites

Peab is a Nordic community builder. Its crushing and asphalt plants are a key part of the company’s infrastructure and construction value chain. The world of large construction machinery and production plants is full of moving parts—quite literally. Every crusher, conveyor, and mixer continuously produces data: power, pressure, temperature, and energy consumption. The equipment also moves regularly from one site to another, making information management even more demanding.

In infrastructure and civil engineering, the rhythm of production is often set by the fleet. When equipment runs optimally, worksites progress, consumption stays under control, and emissions decrease. Every gauge and sensor is part of this continuous chain, where data and hands-on operations go side by side.

At Peab, telemetry was already being collected from equipment before IoT-TICKET, and the data was stored in the cloud. What was missing was a consistent way to present, compare, and use that information. The situation was made more complex by mobile plants, a fleet with a wide age range, and differences in sensor scaling, which made it difficult to compare measurements reliably.

Making sense of large volumes of data was challenging, and maintenance lacked a clear, real-time view of what was happening in production.

“In practice, we already had measurement data, but we didn’t have a place where we could review it in a sensible way. We had information, but no visibility,” says Automation Specialist Joona Kouhia, a key user of Peab’s industrial IoT system.
