And this is how Walterscheid Connected Service works

Walterscheid Connected Service

The system for easy maintenance and organisation of drive shafts and machines in agriculture!

The WCS Assistant app makes instructions for maintenance and repair work available on the smartphone at any time and for each PTO shaft. In addition, all maintenance work carried out for each individual PTO shaft is documented in a digital checkbook.

The challenge

Farmers and contractors use a wide range of machines and implements, which are often also equipped with different PTO shafts. This does not always make it easy to keep track of maintenance requirements and suitable spare parts – but this information is a prerequisite for long service life and high operational reliability!

The solution

As a digital maintenance assistant, Walterscheid Connected Service (WCS) provides a complete overview permanently and wirelessly on the smartphone.

Clear advantages

  • Time saving in daily maintenance work
  • Increased lifetime of the drive shafts
  • Considerable savings on lubricants
  • Automatic recording of operating hours(WCS Counter)
  • Easy identification via QR code (WCS ID)
  • Documentation in a digital checkbook(WCS Assistant)
Walterscheid® Connected Service ID Logo

Our Walterscheid PTO shafts are successively being marked with a new QR code (Walterscheid Connected Service ID), via which they can be quickly and clearly registered and identified.

The reliable recognition of PTO shaft size and type not only facilitates timely and correct maintenance in everyday practice, but also the replacement of PTO shaft spare parts.

In addition, all maintenance work carried out for each individual PTO shaft is documented in a digital checkbook.

Walterscheid Connected Service Gelenkwelle
Walterscheid® Connected Service Counter

The Walterscheid Connected Service Counter is a retrofittable sensor solution for recording operating hours for all agricultural machines driven by Walterscheid PTO shafts. The WCS Counter thus offers maximum flexibility for retrofitting on all PTO drive shafts, regardless of the age, manufacturer or type of machine. This means that the entire fleet can be retrofitted with the system, so that the machine operating hours can be precisely recorded and the maintenance can be optimally carried out for all machines.

The Counter can be attached to the guard tube of a PTO shaft in a few simple steps and records the operation hours of the machine and the PTO shaft contactless. The battery-operated radio system records the actual operating time of the machine in motion as well as the operating time of the PTO shaft and transmits this information via Bluetooth® to mobile devices in the surrounding on which the WCS Assistant is installed. The operating hours thus provided are recorded by the smartphone and made available to all employees in the WCS Assistant app.

The features of the WCS Counter in detail:

  • Minute-by-minute recording of the time that the machine is in motion
  • Minute-by-minute recording of the time the drive shaft is in motion
  • Early warning for the maintenance intervals of the drive shafts
  • Freely configurable maintenance intervals for machines of all types
  • Flexible mounting on PTO drive shafts of different types and sizes
  • Easy retrofitting of the sensor on existing PTO drive shafts possible
  • Robust design for continuous operation on agricultural PTO shafts

Technical data:

  • Empty weight, complete 20 g
  • Dimensions (l x w x h) 56 x 34 x 17 mm
  • Signal range approx. 10 m
  • Runtime per battery charge >1 year (CR2032)
  • Connectivity Bluetooth® Low Energy 4.0

Good to know

A study by the Technical University of Munich proves that, depending on the attachment and the period of use, an optimized maintenance strategy can reduce maintenance costs by up to 94 % and the time spent on maintenance by up to 82 % (compared to incorrect daily maintenance or no maintenance at all).

In a study conducted by the Technical University of Munich, the habits of farmers and contractors when carrying out maintenance work on cultivation machinery on farms were investigated. The maintenance requirements and the selected maintenance strategy were examined in selected test farms. It was shown that necessary maintenance work such as greasing PTO shafts is often not carried out correctly. In practice, machine parts are lubricated almost daily, while other machine parts are not lubricated at all. Often, information on the correct amount of grease, the lubrication interval or the number of grease nipples is not available in a suitable form. As a result, the lubrication intervals recommended by the manufacturer for the machine components are not adhered to. If maintenance work is omitted, increased wear of the bearing areas is the result, and the service life of the PTO shaft is shortened. If lubrication is done too often or with too much grease, valuable time and lubricants are wasted. The study calculated that, depending on the attachment and the machine’s service life, adhering to the correct lubrication intervals and timing as part of an optimized maintenance strategy can save up to 94% of maintenance costs and up to 82% of the time for maintenance efforts compared to erroneous daily maintenance or no maintenance at all.

The Walterscheid Connected Service Assistant makes all the information required for the operation and maintenance of the PTO shafts available on the smartphone at all times, thus saving time and money in the maintenance of agricultural machinery!
