In environments like workshops and plant facilities, finding more innovative and efficient ways to manage hose systems couldn’t be more important. It’s about focusing on managing your asset and improving operational efficiencies, without worrying about product safety and reliability.

In industries like construction, mining, food and beverage, and chemical handling, establishing the correct hose connections is critical. Whether it’s underground air and water hoses, dust suppression hoses used with jackhammers in construction, or the conveyance of food and beverage items, precision is essential. If leaks, ruptured hoses, component wear or mechanical faults occur at any point, this is where Dixon comes into play.

The right connection, combined with digitally connected solutions like Dixon’s Hose Connect, are enabling maintenance teams to make more informed decisions based on in-depth predictive insights. This hose maintenance management system allows operators to track how their hoses are being managed all via a secure, personalised online cloud-based portal.

Hose Connect aims to provide businesses with greater visibility over their operations and take actionable corrective measures where required,” says Steve Glatz, Dixon National Sales and Marketing Manager. “It’s more than just an online platform that enables users to develop proactive maintenance schedules and procedures to maximise operational efficiencies.”

Users will be able to extend hose life by improving the way they manage their product usage. This directly impacts performance, productivity, and part replacement costs. It also gives users unique access to hose technicians and inspectors that can offer expert maintenance advice for their specific hose systems.
