mobile IoT: the cloud solution for mobile machines

With mobile IoT, the benefits of digitalisation are also becoming a reality for mobile machines. Monitoring the performance status of a machine fleet, needs-based maintenance planning and software updates over the air – mobile IoT does it all.

In a nutshell: with mobile IoT you can get the most out of your machine fleet.

mobile IoT is a fully integrated, scalable end-to-end solution consisting of hardware and software. The hardware maintains the dialogue between the machine and the cloud software where the information from all the networked machines converges centrally. This makes it possible to find out the exact status and location of the machine at any time. Similarly, you can efficiently distribute software updates to your fleet via the mobile IoT cloud.
Regardless of whether you require a solution to permanently analyse and optimise prototypes in real field tests, to plan and prepare your rental fleet management more effectively, or to establish a convincing after-sales service, mobile IoT is the right choice for a wide variety of applications.
A data portal is also provided, allowing you to visualise and keep a perfect overview of all the collected data and use cases.

5 simple steps for more overview and efficiency

mobile IoT is a perfectly matched combination of hardware and software that offers the user a high degree of flexibility. Digitalising mobile machines is a breeze. The first step is selecting the appropriate mobile IoT gateway and connection option. The device is then activated online and a suitable data and / or service contract is selected. As every machine and every use case is different, various options are offered here. The application can then be configured and the benefits of mobile IoT can be harnessed.

Whether via mobile network or wifi, mobile IoT offers an optimally matched end-to-end solution consisting of hardware and software for mobile machines. On the hardware side, a mobile IoT gateway tailored to the machine architecture is required. The gateway communicates with the mobile IoT Suite or the DataPortal. For machine-to-machine communication, it is possible to use a CANwireless module.

Thanks to mobile IoT, needs-based maintenance can be planned and prepared in a targeted manner. Not all maintenance or troubleshooting requires on-site intervention – the mobile IoT solution offers the convenience of remote access for updating or changing software, parameters and configurations. Remote access is not only convenient, but also contributes significantly to cost savings.
