Seat Covers

MODERN Motor Trimmers has been supplying vehicle seats to various industries within WA for over 25 years.

From trucks to dozers, excavators, drills and mining trucks, the company has learnt a thing or two over the years keeping its customers safe.

This involves making sure it starts off by supplying fit- for- purpose seats, and then following up with regular service and reconditio­ning of existing seats to either get a little more life out of them, or to make sure that they are in tip top working order.

According to Modern Motor Trimmers sales manager Grant Van Elswyk, the company has customers from different areas, all working in different environmen­ts.

“So, we’ve really got to take this into considerat­ion when supplying seats,” he said.

“We have to look at the sites they are working at, and figure out the seat configurat­ion to suit.

“It’s not just a matter of pulling a seat out of a box and crossing your fingers.”

Modern Motor Trimmers considers itself to be a team of problem solvers, and this includes helping all customers to maintain a safe and efficient work environmen­t for their equipment operators.

The company makes considered and continuing efforts to provide the best solutions for its customers, and is currently developing a system to not only help them understand where their seats assets are located, but also how often they are rotated and serviced.

This informatio­n makes it much easier to manage a “fleet of seats” and get the most out of the products it supplies.

This will be achieved by the installati­on of a beacon into targeted seats, along with a long range outdoor gateway which will be connected to, and send informatio­n back to, a cloud- based database.

This system will provide Modern Motor Trimmers with the capability to provide customers with important informatio­n on each individual seat asset for tracking, monitoring and managing its life.

The tracking data can also be used to track assets on Google Maps or any similar tracking system dashboard clients may have.

As this project is in the early stages, the company is keen to hear from the Australian mining community on thoughts about this project.

How could it be best used? And what functional­ity may be important to users?
