CIMA, TRACSAT TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FLEET MONITORING AND TRACKING

The Construction Industry Manufacturers Association (CIMA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the newly formed business unit TracSat of ORBCOMM Global LP to offer a revolutionary construction equipment fleet monitoring and tracking service that helps equipment manufacturers, owners, and distributors more effectively monitor their equipment in the field. Improved customer product support and system cost reductions are two major aims of this industry solution. With small communications devices attached to each piece of machinery in the fleet, the CIMA-TracSat service will transmit data to a centralized database for secure access via the World Wide Web, e-mail, pager, or fax. The service can transmit data such as machine location and operating parameters including engine hours, operating temperatures, oil pressure, and hydraulic system readouts.
