UAE Business: Mammoet’s new technology enables real-time carbon monitoring – Gulf Digital News

Mammoet, a global market leader in heavy lifting and transport, has developed a new technology platform that reports emissions data from heavy lifting equipment in real time.

The system allows customers to accurately predict and monitor carbon output arising from large heavy lifting and transport projects.

Project planners looking to meet increasingly strict emissions regulations have needed to rely on estimates of total emissions, drawn from the make and model of equipment involved and how long they have been used.

Increasing accuracy

Mammoet’s new technology increases the accuracy of this reporting by using data taken directly from the embedded electronics of on-site equipment.

The system, codenamed DAISY, transmits this data over mobile networks from local devices attached to the embedded systems of cranes and SPMT combinations. This can then be accessed from any worldwide location, providing a clear audit trail for governments and other authorities.

This allows organisations working at locations where emissions are regulated tightly, such as inner cities, tunnels and indoor facilities, to minimise emissions at the project site. Analysis of this data will uncover new ways to cut down emissions-driving activity, for example by reducing idling time during projects.

Planned rollout

The system is currently in use in the Netherlands, monitoring the carbon emissions of
