[PRESS RELEASE] Konecranes equipment and services are extending the service life of Bruce Power's nuclear reactors in Ontario, Canada. The installation of four specifically tailored cranes at Bruce B Power site is part of a major initiative to extend the operational life of nuclear reactors by up to 40 years. Preparations for the next installation are due to begin in January 2025.   The installation of the new reactivity deck crane at Bruce's Unit 6 CANDU pressurized heavy-water reactor was especially challenging. The heightened safety requirements of nuclear plants add complexity. Discussions for Unit 6 started in 2017, when the overall agreement for the replacement of the four reactivity deck cranes was booked. The work was completed in 2023 without any safety incidents, showcasing the team's expertise and planning. "This has been a unique project from the very start, and we especially appreciate the thorough professionalism of Konecranes. Their expertise in rigging and lifting was critical for the successful replacement of the crane, and constructing a staging area at such a height was a remarkable feat," said Duncan Kennedy, Engineering Lead at Sargent & Lundy, which oversees project controls and asset management at the Bruce Power site. “No two nuclear crane orders are the same, and this case is certainly proof of that. We're ready to continue our good work with Bruce Power on the design and installation of the crane for Unit 7 with the same high level of commitment and safety that we have delivered so far," said Joseph Botros, P.Eng, Regional Sales Manager for Nuclear Equipment and Services, Konecranes.

This week I joined the Gartner Marketing Symposium in London with my colleague Brett Young. It was a great opportunity to get an overview on the latest trends and topics within marketing across industries and to meet and discuss with peers. The biggest takeaway for me personally is the fact that marketing leaders are struggling with the same challenges regardless of the industry, business operating model or country of operation. The average marketing budget has fallen to 7.7% of total revenue in 2024 compared to the pre-pandemic levels of 10.5%. At the same time, marketing is expected to do more with less, and is seen as cost center more often than a profit driver. What can marketeers do to succeed in this operating environment and change the perceptions? It's obvious that we cannot just continue to do the same, but seriously focus on what adds value and eliminate waste - unnecessary processes, duplicate work etc., and renegotiate the service level agreements with the organization. To increase efficiency, we need to be on top of technology development and how it impacts our work. AI is already today a great source of efficiency, and its role is increasing rapidly. In just a few years, it could be considered as an extension to the marketing team, almost like a colleague. Changing the perception from a cost center to a profit driver requires connecting the marketing KPIs to those of the business in a much more concrete way, most viably to those of sales. If marketing gets this right, the perceptions should start to change sooner than later. #GartnerMarketingSymposium #Marketing #CMO #CCO #KonecranesMarCom

At Konecranes, we've spent a decade developing cutting-edge predictive maintenance capabilities for cranes. Our goal? To prevent costly downtime and keep operations running smoothly. Imagine an automotive plant where a critical crane failure brings production to a standstill, costing thousands per hour. With TRUCONNECT remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, such downtime becomes avoidable. Our digital workflows, including the Konecranes CheckApp and SLIM app, empower technicians to perform inspections and maintenance tasks efficiently, even offline.

The Bristol Port Company decided to retrofit the drive and control system and install TRUCONNECT® Remote Monitoring on their two Konecranes Advanced Grab Drive (AGD) unloaders. The upgrade ensures higher efficiency and sustainability, as well as continued technical support and spare parts availability. “Our equipment must be reliable to ensure uninterrupted service for our customers. As we move ahead, we expect to increase the volume and variety of cargo we handle, so we can’t afford much downtime,” says David Hopton, Project Engineer, Procurement, and Equipment Support at Bristol Port. “Already, this retrofit has improved crane performance while giving us peace of mind that spare parts will continue to be available. Also, extending the life of the crane is fully in line with our sustainability goals as we maximize the usefulness of our existing equipment.
