Different sensors collect permanent data about brake parameters, e.g. thruster stroke, brake torque / contact pressure, lining temperature. lining wear and brake disc speed.

This data is submitted and visualised via a field bus system to the main control syystem or (also via radio) to a seperat PC

• Preventive brake maintenance wich makes sure that the brake is always in operation
• Reduction of staff cost for brake servicing (visual monitoring at brake and thruster)
• Possibility of an efficient, preventiv maintenance by analysis of operating status
• Print-out of brake reports
• Permanent monitoring of brake systems from control level
