Telematic engine monitoring
October 1st 2008 Independent engine
manufacturer, DEUTZ, has
unveiled a new telematics
system for the remote
monitoring of engines and
fleet
management. The
system uses
satellite tracking
technology to
send engine and
machine data to a
central server that
can then be
accessed by
DEUTZ customers.
Data on the
current condition
of the engine and the
equipment it powers, such
as coolant, oil and fuel
levels, can be constantly and
reliably monitored. This data
can be read and evaluated
on an Internet-enabled
computer from anywhere in
the world. In addition,
warning messages are sent
to the user's PC whenever
the fuel, oil and coolant
levels reach minimum levels.
Using the system
downtime can be reduced –
because the condition of the
engine is permanently
known, maintenance
schedules can be planned
and adjusted to suit exact
requirements. More articles from Deutz AG: |
