Ever heard about geofence?

If you have Geofence on your rental area you will be notified when your assets are on the move. Geofence areas allow you to create a virtual area that overlays the map in your interface. This area is given a name and can be used to help gain control over your assets. The geofence can be used for reporting features or help to protect your assets against theft. In other words it will give a complete overview of where all of your assets are, displayed in one map!

Maintain and increase efficiency 

To maintain efficiency it is essential for a rental business to have machines available, ready to go.
With ABAX Equipment control there will be less unexpected maintenance. The most costly factor that can happen is when a rental machine stops working for a customer. It may cause issues within a customer relationship, and you have to spend time and resources on repairs. 

Know where your rentals are at all times  

Spending time looking for machines and manually keeping track is by no means profitable. Your rentals should preferably be with a customer earning you money and not left out of use for unplanned maintenance. What if we told you that ABAX has a tracking system that notifies you about upcoming maintenance whilst showing you where the machines are situated?

With ABAX Equipment Control alerts can be set for regular inspection as well as service on hours of use. These alerts can be received by SMS or e-mail, you can also define that some machines send notifications directly to a designated person. 

If you have to look for equipment 10 minutes every day you waste 38 hours in a year.

ABAX

How does it work?

A small GPS unit is easily installed onto the equipment. It communicates directly with our servers and reports back its current location. Using our web-based interface you can easily see the location of your equipment in the integrated Google maps.

If you connect your ABAX unit to the ignition you will be able to see, amongst other benefits, how many hours your asset has been active on a site. This enables you to follow up service intervals, and receive valuable information you can use for invoicing your customers. The ABAX Equipment Control can be used without the need to connect to a power source. Our internal battery can last up to 6 years between charges.

Tracking non powered equipment

There is no problem monitoring equipment without an internal power source, such as: containers, ground engaging tools, compressors and the like. Installation is easy, simply mounting your ABAX Equipment Control unit onto the equipment you would like to monitor, this can be done with brackets or our unique cage. For the best possible GPS-signal the unit should not be mounted under metal and with a clear view to the sky. 

The unit can operate for up to 4480 hours using an internal, long-life battery with no need for maintenance. The E”2 is available in Small or Large depending on the size of the equipment you would like to track and the frequency of the positionings you require.

 

Tracking powered equipment

Equipment we refer to as “powered equipment” is an asset that has its own power source. Typical machinery in this category can be: excavators, dumpers, sax lifts or trailers. For these we have hardware called ABAX5. The unit monitors the usage of the machinery and will send you a notification when it is time for service or maintenance, you will be able to invoice for every minute your customer has turned on the ignition.
