Remote monitoring
Komtrax
Our technologically advanced Komtrax remote equipment and machine monitoring and location system is an indispensable tool for the management of individual units and fleets of equipment. This satellite technology gives owners and operators greater control over their equipment by providing easy access to the information they need to manage their fleets in real time.
Remote monitoring with real-time data,
free for the life of the machine
Wireless, secure and user-friendly, the web-based application places a wealth of information at the user’s fingertips so that they can enhance utilisation, minimise downtime and reduce operating costs. Areas in which Komtrax delivers user support include parameters like equipment hours, average hourly fuel consumption, idling times, water temperature and lubrication levels. Machine conditioning is essential and the system provides users with regular updates on routine maintenance needs.
In addition, an energy saving report details actual operational hours as well as inefficiencies denoting downtime, times spent in relief mode and walking on site. Users are able to access the system from their desktop computers and, more recently, via the Komtrax Mobile App on their iPhones and Android phones.
