Until now, fleet managers had little option but to hope that machinery was being used as efficiently as possible at a given location, and to accept any downtimes that arose.

Thanks to new technology now fitted to all compact machinery from the Wacker Neuson group, ideal logistics and easy handling are now closely combined. Wacker Neuson Telematic is the fastest connection between the machinery in the field and its owner. Information on current location, operating times and much more can be accessed at any time from a computer or smartphone. To schedule maintenance times more easily, Telematic will automatically remind you by e-mail or SMS when the next service is due. Geofence is an especially simple and easy-to-use function that notifies you immediately of any unauthorised use of your machines. Geofence functions like a virtual fence by which you can restrict equipment to a specific area. The system then alerts you as soon as the machine leaves this area.

The biggest benefit of Telematic technology is undoubtedly increased productivity and therefore profitability. The resale value is increased, because the machine’s history can be rapidly accessed, and better monitoring also means a longer service life.
