Telematic engine monitoring
September 1st 2008 Independent engine manufacturer,
DEUTZ, has unveiled a new
telematics system for the remote
monitoring of engines and fleet
management. The system uses
satellite tracking technology to
send engine and machine data to a
central server that can then be
accessed by DEUTZ customers.
Data on the current condition of
the engine and the equipment it
powers, such as coolant, oil and
fuel levels, can be constantly and
reliably monitored. This data can be
read and evaluated on an Internetenabled
computer from anywhere
in the world. In addition, warning
messages are sent to the user's PC
whenever the fuel, oil and coolant
levels reach minimum levels.
Using the system downtime can
be reduced – because the
condition of the engine is
permanently known, maintenance
schedules can be planned and
adjusted to suit exact requirements. More articles from Deutz AG: |
