Abstract
Working equipment system includes a working equipment, a control unit, a monitoring unit, and a processing unit. The monitoring unit is configured to receive a first data set including predefined equipment data, a second data set including operation data based on sensor signals, a unique identifier for the working equipment, and a time stamp for the second data set. The processing unit is configured to calculate a time series of wear indicator values based on the stored first and second data sets, to estimate a predicted lifetime of the working equipment by extrapolating the indicator values, to compare the predicted lifetime with a target lifetime, and to select an operation mode in dependence of the comparison such that the predicted lifetime corresponds to the target lifetime. The processing unit is configured to transmit the selected operation mode to the control unit that is configured to apply the selected operation mode.
