Earthwave will feature its popular FleetWatcher telematics platform with unique functionality like escalating idle alert which slashes idle time for on-road and off-road assets, in World of Concrete Booth #N1869.
FleetWatcher’s Escalating Idle Alert proactively informs managers when equipment has been idling for too long, allowing immediate corrective action to be taken. This can help slash idle time, and thus elongate equipment life span, or dramatically impact its value at trade in. Twenty-plus years of experience and collecting company data indicates that most companies have fleetwide idle times that average more than 50%. This excessive idle time not only wastes fuel, but it also costs companies in lost value including lost production. Users of the FleetWatcher telematics platform have reported significant reductions in idle time when using the Escalating Idle Alert feature. Unlike factory telematics, which can tell what a machine’s RPMs are at a point in time, FleetWatcher monitors the rpm over time, and actively alerts managers with a text or email when a pre-set threshold has been reached. Escalating Idle Alert is just one data collection feature of the FleetWatcher telematics platform. For more, visit www.earthwavetech.com.
