Superior, Wisconsin – BARKO Hydraulics (BARKO), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of innovative heavy equipment solutions for the forestry, vegetation management and material handling industries, is pleased to announce BARKO Insight, a remote platform designed to monitor the performance of heavy machinery.

“BARKO Insight uses real-time data to inform proactive maintenance and operating decisions for a single machine or an entire fleet,” said BARKO President, Justin Rupar. “With this type of information at the fingertips of owners and operators, both will gain a better understanding of how their machines perform in real-time. This obviously directly impacts productivity optimization and the extension of equipment life.”

BARKO Insight is available on new BARKO equipment and comes with a free 1-year subscription. BARKO Insight includes an intuitive dashboard, providing real-time insight into how a machine is running, with automatic alerts if performance metrics slip below normal operating conditions. Key benefits include:

Detailed Performance Monitoring

Knowing exactly what’s going on under the hood allows owners to make smart maintenance decisions.

Automatic Alerts

Receive notifications if performance falls below normal operating conditions.

Geofencing

Receive automatic alerts when machines enter or exit a geofence boundary.

Remote monitoring 24/7

Access real-world usage data, increase uptime and optimize operational productivity.

Concluding, Rupar noted, “BARKO machines are built tough, built to last, and with BARKO Insight, they’re now built to work smart.”

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock Group executives Enrique Zavala and Brent Roscoe argue scaffolding belongs in the BIM model from the start of an industrial project. BIC Magazine reports one Brock 3D model replaced more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours with under 25 hours of rework. Peer-reviewed studies support BIM-based planning and forecasting, while noting scaffold modeling and laser scanning still demand specialized skills.

  • 01On one three-month project, BIC Magazine reports, a Brock 3D scaffold model left one minor field change and under 25 labor hours of rework against more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours.
  • 02A 2017 IAARC paper found scaffolding is usually left out of the BIM model, and a June 2024 MDPI case study found scan-to-BIM needs specialized equipment and skills, so the gains are not automatic.
