Epiroc, a leading productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure industries, has introduced Epiroc InSite, a revolutionary telematics solution engineered to transform fleet management of hydraulic attachment tools. By combining advanced asset tracking with real-time data insights, InSite empowers users with unprecedented control and visibility across their fleets, says the European company.

InSite offers comprehensive monitoring of location, usage, and maintenance needs for attachment tools, regardless of brand. Whether deployed through factory-installed units or retrofit-ready modules, the system utilises one of the construction sector’s largest mesh networks, enabling seamless connectivity across more than 1.3 million devices worldwide, a spokesman for the Epiroc explains.

SMART FEATURES FOR SMARTER OPERATIONS

With real-time tracking, users can pinpoint exact asset locations, monitor equipment utilisation, and receive automated service alerts. Geofencing capabilities allow virtual boundaries to be established around jobsites or yards, helping to detect unauthorised movements and mitigate theft risks.

Maintenance planning also becomes proactive through predictive tools that minimise downtime and empower service teams with equipment status visibility. The system ensures the user’s equipment provides the best productivity, uptime and highest safety standards for his next job together with advanced modules with cellular and GPS location via hatcon by Epiroc, he adds.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION & FIELD CONNECTIVITY

Epiroc InSite supports flexible system integration with most existing fleet management platforms, enabling smooth data exchange via the standardised AEMP API (ISO 15143-3).

The spokesman continues: “Teams on the ground benefit from real-time reporting through the mobile app, allowing immediate response to operational issues.

“Designed for dependable performance, InSite devices boast extended battery life of three to five years under typical field conditions. All transmitted data is secured using enterprise-grade cloud encryption protocols, safeguarding sensitive operational information.”

Setting up InSite is as simple as mounting the device, pairing it with the relevant asset, and activating the platform. From day one, fleet operators can begin optimising operations and enhancing equipment oversight, he concludes.

Epiroc is a global productivity partner for mining and construction customers, providing innovative and safe equipment, such as drill rigs, rock excavation and construction equipment and tools for surface and underground applications.
