San Diego, CA. – In the construction equipment industry, operational efficiency depends on visibility – knowing where assets are, how they’re performing, and when they need service. For one leading Japanese construction machinery manufacturer, outdated telematics systems were making visibility across a growing fleet of excavators deployed around the world virtually impossible.

Searching for the upgraded approach necessary to maintain their expansive fleet, the company looked to Quake Global, whose robust QConnect Telematics device provided the rugged machine-to-machine (M2M) communication solution to this remote management issue. When combined with Soracom’s secure, global IoT connectivity, the collaboration resulted in a next-generation telematics platform that combines real-time fleet data with cloud-based accessibility, all built to perform in remote, high-demand environments.

Overview

• A premier Japanese construction machinery manufacturer upgraded their telematics using Quake Global and Soracom’s joint IoT solution.

• The system delivers real-time engine monitoring, GPS tracking, and remote diagnostics via global IoT connectivity.

• Early results include faster service response, streamlined operations, and consideration for wider deployment.

Key advantages of the joint solution included:

• Real-time monitoring of engine start/stop events, usage hours, and location data

• Remote configuration and activation via cloud-based controls

• Automated alerts triggered by movement or abnormal activity

• API integration for centralized data handling

• Optimized data usage, adaptable to operational needs
