Why AEMP 2.0 is important for Fleet Managers with mixed brands

Most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) offer a telematics solution for their equipment which provides access to all levels of data. Historically speaking, it has been necessary to use each OEMs’ platform to see this data. 

Managing mixed equipment fleets across different sites means dealing with machinery from several manufacturers, which makes collecting actionable data a significant challenge. Organisations running hundreds of assets often find this fragmented data overwhelming and incredibly time-consuming to process.

A common data standard 

To gain control of telematics data, the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) introduced a telematics standard in 2010.

The standard has been developed over time, and AEMP 2.0 (also known as ISO 15143-3) is the most recent version to date.  

AEMP serves as a common data format that makes it easier to retrieve fleet data from different OEMs and gather the data in a portal. The standard is made up of almost 20 data points, including time expenditure, fuel consumption, idling, status report, maintenance and date of next service.

Simplifying data

Good, simple access to ISO data makes it easier for fleet managers to manage their entire fleet across different suppliers and types of equipment and machinery. A common platform can, very simply, generate a complete picture of utilisation, fuel consumption, maintenance and other parameters across the fleet, across projects and locations, and across the company. 

A complete picture of the company’s assets means the whole fleet can be managed more efficiently, and, in many cases, AEMP 2.0 enables companies to reduce the number of units in their fleet in favour of renting, to improve maintenance planning and to avoid unplanned downtime.
