Telematics for Tractors

that need to run perfectly

That's why filters need to be changed regularly. We know where and how long the tractors have been in use and are currently in use, optionally who is operating them and for how many hours. If the tractor automatically records the operating hours via telematics and GPS tracking and reports the need for maintenance in the app, there is more time for more important things.

 

GPS Tracking + Geofencing

For Smart Agriculture

Fence tractors and agricultural machinery using geofencing. Area monitoring. As soon as the area is left, the portal sends an alarm to any number of recipients via email and SMS. Geofencing can also be used to record time: how long and how often a certain machine was in this area. Agriculture must be incredibly productive and efficient. Time analyses help with this.

 

Equipment and Accessories In Farming Industry

Tracked via BLE tag

Child's play asset tracking: All vehicles serve as a "gateway" for BLE tags: Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons/Tags. The portal logic recognizes who took, dropped off or picked up which equipment and when and when it was last seen. Permanent inventory - automated. Small device management - ​​via GPS tracker + BLE tags.
Hours per "geofence" are also available at the click of a mouse as Excel, PDF, CSV or API/interface.

Auxiliary Engines and Crane Operation

The telematics system offers enough inputs to record 3-4 operating modes. Be it hour counters or states such as "signing in/out" for example in winter service. This allows operations to be clearly documented and there are no problems with billing.

The vehicle flags and tracking tracks in the portal are then displayed in different colors - very clear. Modern online!

Intelligent Systems

Theft, Jamming, Towing Detection

via the internal device logic. The systems detect when the GPS positions change without ignition or when someone tries to manipulate them with a jammer.

An alarm is immediately triggered and information is sent to all stored receivers.

Sleep more soundly,
because the "e-watchdog" never sleeps!

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions


How accurate is machine hour tracking with telematics?

In short, it's so accurate that banking corporations even offer equipment financing based on machine hours, with daily or weekly billing.
Our system uses advanced sensors to precisely track engine operating hours and operating status. This precise tracking enables maintenance planning based on actual usage rather than calendar time, ensures accurate customer billing, and provides valuable insights into equipment utilization at each job site.

What types of alerts can I receive from my telematics system?

Yes, our telematics system can send customized alerts for various conditions including maintenance needs based on engine hours, unusual operational patterns, and potential mechanical issues. These proactive alerts help prevent costly downtime by identifying problems before they cause equipment failure.

Is installation complicated or disruptive to operations?

Our hardware is designed for quick and simple installation with minimal disruption to your operations. The robust equipment is built to withstand the harsh conditions of construction environments while reliably transmitting data from your job sites.

How can telematics improve security for my agricultural equipment?

Our solution includes geofencing capabilities that alert you when equipment leaves designated areas, tamper detection that notifies you of unauthorized system interference, and real-time location tracking. These features help protect your valuable heavy equipment from theft and misuse.

How does telematics help manage fuel usage?

The system monitors fuel consumption in relation to equipment activity, helping identify inefficient machines and operational practices. This insight allows you to implement targeted improvements that typically reduce fuel costs while maintaining productivity.

Can we conduct a test?

Yes, of course. You can test two to three telematics devices, including accessories, for two months in a PoC (proof of concept). During the test phase, we can work together to fine-tune the settings of the devices and the portal. We can already guarantee 99.984% high availability of the portal, including interfaces (API). We host our services in two independent, mirrored data centers (Tier 3) with multiply redundant infrastructure as a private cloud.
