IOT FOR CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT + MUCH MORE

Parker's IoT solution is designed to connect everything from construction equipment to mining equipment. Heavy equipment, such as construction equipment, with embedded sensors, helps contractors analyze data about usage, maintenance needs, downtime, and more. This information can be used to make construction equipment more efficient by keeping better track of fuel use or predicting maintenance needs to reduce machine downtime. For instance, a construction company with this information could determine when to service the excavator and prevent expensive breakdowns before they happen. When applied to the firm’s entire fleet, IoT tech can greatly reduce its maintenance costs. Furthermore, one of the major problems in the construction industry are injuries caused due to accidents involving people and heavy equipment. As the number of heavy equipment continues to rise, the risk also increases. IoT can help to make the equipment smarter and safer. With the implementation of Parker's IoT solution, organizations can protect their heavy machinery such as construction equipment, improve fleet maintenance, and ensure the safety of their operators. Moreover, because of rapidly declining IoT sensor costs, businesses can harness the power of internet connectivity for pennies on the dollar.
