The Importance of Telematics System Connectivity on Construction Equipment
At Synergy Equipment, we invest heavily in technology and training to ensure that our entire team is fit to take care of your needs. One of the ways we are improving the way we connect with customers is by ensuring their equipment comes complete with a telematics system. Here’s everything you need to know about telematics system connectivity on construction equipment:
What is a Telematics System
Telematics are a fairly new technology in construction equipment. Essentially, telematics are a combination of GPS, on-board diagnostics and monitoring sensors that are able to record and report data via satellites and cellular networks. Many equipment manufacturers, such as Doosan and Bobcat, are installing telematics as standard equipment on their new products.
Monitor GPS Location on Construction Equipment
One of the biggest benefits of implementing a telematics system in your equipment is that you will be able to locate your equipment from anywhere in the world. If your equipment is stolen from your site, you will be able to track its location. Using telematics, you can even geofence your fleet so you get a notification if they leave a set, designated area around your job site.
The Benefits of a Telematics System
Telematics can also be used to monitor fluid levels, fuel consumption and service schedules. Meaning, if your equipment is low on fluids, fuel or due for service, you will be notified before it becomes a problem. You will be able to more accurately gauge when your equipment is in need of maintenance so that you can extend its life and create a safer working environment.
Important Updates from Your Dealership
Not only will your team be able to monitor your equipment via telematics, but so will your preferred dealership, such as Synergy Equipment. If anything goes wrong with your equipment, we will be able to provide an additional monitor that allows for easy access to GPS location or service schedules. Our technicians will be able to alert you when your equipment is due for service or inspection, to ensure that your equipment is always ready when you need it most.
No matter how you choose to utilize the telematics system on your equipment, Synergy Equipment is always here to make it simple. We have a wide variety of new equipment from your favorite brands, such as Bobcat and Doosan, that come fully equipped with telemetry.
