Syniotec employees keeping track of available construction equipment.

Optimal utilization of construction machinery

Construction companies manage their machines and equipment via tracking modules. The LTE-M SIM cards paired with the Deutsche Telekom network provide reliable data transmission.

“Deutsche Telekom’s technical expertise and professionalism as well as its image as the best network provider convinced us.”

3 steps to a successful IoT Use Case

Challenge

Construction machinery stands unused on construction sites or in warehouses and construction companies lack an overview of available units. To increase utilization and efficiency, syniotec developed tracking modules to locate machines. To do this, the startup was looking for a solution which could network modules and thus make construction machines easy to find.

Solution

Deutsche Telekom fitted the modules with LTE-M SIM cards and helped with configuration and programming. Aside from the position, the modules collect further parameters such as operating time, battery status, or idle time. The files are sent to a central platform via Deutsche Telekom’s machine and sensor network, LTE-M.

Customer benefit

syniotec’s customers make optimal use of their fleet. The software enables construction companies to locate and manage their machines and equipment, record operating hours for billing purposes, and obtain an overview of the condition and utilization of their fleet. A theft alarm can also be set up via GPS geofence.
