DALLAS, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is
working with Sany America to monitor and manage its heavy equipment
machinery in North America
with telematics services. Telematics services from
AT&T gives commercial equipment manufacturers, and the
fleet owners of this equipment, a turnkey solution that's easy to
use and cost effective. Sany America has teamed with AT&T to
introduce this state of the art telematics service on its
heavy machinery, beginning with excavators, and plans to expand to
other products in the near future.
At the heart of telematics services with AT&T is
the AT&T Global SIM; and the AT&T M2M Application
platform. The solution also provides a management and monitoring
portal, which is accessible on a smartphone, tablet or PC. This
combination gives companies the ability to better protect and
manage their heavy equipment assets remotely and gain operational
efficiencies.
Telematics services from AT&T for commercial equipment
include:
- Location and history so you can know where your equipment is at
the time you view it and also a history of where it was operating
previously.
- Detailed reports on how your equipment is being used, assuring
you get the most out of your assets.
- Geo-fencing alerts which let you set up an area and then
immediately receive alerts when equipment has moved into or out of
that defined area.
- Real-time diagnostic and condition alerts notify you of any
equipment service needs or the possibility of component failures.
This also assists in maintenance planning and tracking.
"For commercial equipment owners, knowing the exact
location and condition of the machinery is critical,"
said Mike Troiano, vice president,
Industrial Internet of Things, AT&T Mobility. "Historically,
commercial equipment manufacturers have paid a hefty price to
get effective resource management solutions. Our
telematics services offers them a cost-effective and simple
solution that can be implemented quickly and globally."
"The close collaboration with AT&T to develop a telematics
solution is allowing Sany America to offer our dealers and
customers an industry leading tool to remotely track, manage and
troubleshoot their equipment fleets," said Andy Clevenger, vice president at Sany America.
"We are truly excited to introduce the telematics services
from AT&T solution to provide our customers with a more
integrated and closer customer experience with Sany America and its
products and services."
AT&T is committed to meeting the unique needs of
commercial equipment manufacturers and owners. For the
past three years, AT&T has been an active corporate sponsor and
member of the Association of Equipment Management Professionals
(AEMP). In fact, AT&T helped create the development of the
