How do you really know if your cutter suction dredger is performing at its best?
At DE Klop, we saw a clear demand for a simple and reliable way to monitor production. The result is a smart production measurement system that provides operators with direct insight and control—without the complexity and limitations of traditional solutions. Even better, it can be easily implemented on existing dredgers, making it a practical upgrade without major modifications.
By combining commonly available sensors with intelligent algorithms, both production and concentration are determined accurately. Unlike conventional density measurement systems, this solution is not affected by salinity changes and eliminates the need for radioactive sources—avoiding complex permits and procedures altogether.
The Smart Meter Dashboard gives operators instant insight into performance and opportunities for optimization. What stands out is how intuitive it is: operators can quickly understand and improve their process. In practice, it has even sparked a healthy sense of competition between operators, increasing motivation and driving better results.
Two systems have already been successfully delivered, and customer feedback has been very positive. Increased efficiency, more consistent production, and stronger operator support are making a real impact in daily operations.
Simple. Effective. And ready to boost performance—also on your existing dredger.
