Mechanical engineering service business model: globally available MyUNTHA customer portal

The A1 Telekom Austria Group is an internationally active expert in mobile connectivity and digitization. The global IoT business includes application fields such as predictive maintenance, asset management or machine learning. The base of 24 customers in Central and Eastern Europe is diverse: companies from the construction and mobility sectors, but also from the manufacturing industry. A1 Digital brought an important customer to this podcast episode and explains its industry-specific solutions with a success story from practice. UNTHA shredding technology has been developing customized shredding machines in the premium segment for the industrial sector for 50 years. The machines are used in landfills or recycling plants. Topics that move the company: the recovery of valuable materials in recycling, the utilization of waste wood through to the processing of waste – all in the interests of sustainable resource conservation. The aim is to achieve the best possible use of energy while increasing machine availability and reducing downtime for the customer. For this purpose, there are now up to a hundred measuring channels on the shredders, which make data available in real time, such as the speed of the rotor, temperatures in the oil or in the gearbox, vibrations, oil quality or the quality of the power supply. An important KPI of this business is also the cost per ton of crushed material. To hear how A1 Digital helped UNTHA shredding technology create a new business model and new services, listen to this podcast episode. The guests talking about this on Madeleine Mickeleit‘s microphone are: • Florian Krcma (Presales Consultant Digital Business Solutions, A1 Digital) • Philipp König (Product Marketing Manager IoT, A1 Digital) • Robert Diosi (Product Manager, UNTHA shredding technology)
