Ask the Expert: The Power of Telematics in Construction Equipment Management

What exactly is construction equipment telematics? In our Ask the Expert Q&A session, “The Power of Telematics in Construction Equipment Management,” we explore just how far this technology has come and what it can do. In our conversation with a Cummins Inc. chief engineer, we discuss how fleet management telematics technology communicates equipment data through the cloud. This provides remarkable benefits:

• Remote connected diagnostics for construction equipment. When there’s equipment failure, telematics immediately reports the problem to a control center, enabling faster repairs and sending out the right technician with the right parts.

• Predictive maintenance in construction fleets. Even before a failure, telematics can identify potential issues so they can be addressed during the next scheduled maintenance.

• Machine safety and security. If an operator is using the equipment in a way that could damage it or a machine is not in the proper location, telematics will report these problems to the designated equipment manager for remediation.

Telematics is proving to be a valuable tool in equipment management in every business sector, and it’s only getting better. AI-powered telematics systems are improving equipment uptime and fleet optimization by leaps and bounds.
