Top 100: "Configurable" Sensors Give More Info

Sept. 28, 2010

According to Qualcomm, its GlobalTRACS 3.0 equipment-management solution, by monitoring up to four configurable sensors, can observe and report on customer-determined thresholds and durations for critical parameters in construction machine systems. The goal of the new tracking system is to provide "instant critical alerts that can help prevent expensive damage to engines, transmissions and hydraulics." The sensor monitors will also provide non-critical alert observations and historical data, delivered on predetermined schedules to maintenance personnel, to assist in spotting potential problems.
