Abstract
A system and a method for monitoring a condition of a paving machine. The system includes a screed plate and a heating element for heating the screed plate. The system also includes a controller configured to determine a heat-up time for the screed plate and compare the heat-up time to a predetermined time. The controller is further configured to provide a signal indicating that the screed plate needs to be replaced if the heat-up time is less than or equal to the predetermined time.
