Challenge
Unlike private vehicles on the road, most heavy machinery operating in construction or mines are leased or purchased in installments and are often scattered in harsh environments and disparate terrain. Once neglected, this machinery may be destroyed, stolen, or damaged while improper use or idling unnecessarily will cause incalculable losses. In addition, it is extremely difficult and costly to repair damaged heavy machinery on site. In view of this, real-time location and monitoring of heavy machinery is very important.Solution
The AS500 Long Standby Asset Tracker can operate for up to 5 years and transmit positioning other information such as geo fence alert to ATrack app. The ruggedized design of AS500 is perfect for heavy machinery used outdoors in construction, mining, resource recovery, etc. Managers can instantly discover the location of machinery in vast and harsh environments, accelerate the efficiency of deployment, and reduce idle time. In addition, geofence function and abnormality alarm functionality can be equipped to effectively prevent an accidental break-in or machinery theft, potentially leading to industrial safety accidents or losses. Built-in sensors can monitor driver behavior to rein in problematic issues such as idling, speeding, sudden braking, taking unscheduled detours, etc. while calculating the operational uptime of heavy machinery.
