Construction Vehicles and Machinery

Boosting Equipment Utilization and Reducing Downtime with Real-Time Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance.

Challenges

Excessive idle time of heavy equipment

Construction machines often sit idle during breaks or between tasks. This results in fuel misuse without any productive work. This idle time adds to fuel costs unnecessarily.

Hard to track fuel use across multiple sites

With construction sites spread across different locations, managing and monitoring fuel refills becomes difficult. Especially when unauthorized refuels occur, leading to budget overruns.

Fuel theft from equipment left overnight

Fuel theft is a risk on remote or unsecured sites, especially when equipment is left overnight. Fuel can be stolen without anyone noticing until a large amount has been lost.

Different fuel use for different machines

Each piece of equipment uses fuel differently. Without a way to track this, it's hard to know which machines are using too much fuel, leading to more fuel waste.

Solutions

Idle time alerts

Set up alerts for when equipment idles too long. This helps managers take quick action to reduce unnecessary fuel use.

Fuel tracking across sites

The software shows fuel use and refills for each site, making it easier to monitor fuel costs across multiple locations and reduce wastage.

Theft alerts for fuel drain events

Get alerts when fuel levels suddenly drop, helping managers detect fuel theft and reduce losses.

Fuel monitoring through work hour tracking

Accurately tracks equipment work hours alongside fuel consumption. It helps managers to identify idle times and optimize operating schedules.

Equipment-specific fuel efficiency tracking

Track fuel consumption for each piece of equipment individually. This makes it easy to identify inefficient machines and enables targeted fuel-saving actions.

Results

  1. Saved up to 15% on fuel costs

    Reducing idle time, tracking fuel use by site, and preventing theft has helped companies cut fuel costs by up to 15%.

  2. Reduced fuel theft by 30%

    Thief alerts have helped construction managers catch and prevent fuel theft, especially on remote sites.

  3. Efficient fuel use for equipment

    Tracking fuel per machine has helped identify and correct inefficient fuel use, leading to overall better fuel management
