• New Trackunit Kin Tag Changes the Tracking Game Enabling All Construction Equipment, Machines, Tools and Accessories to be Connected on a Single Platform
• Trackunit extends the usefulness of its software platform as Trackunit Kin enables everything from the largest earth mover to handheld tools to be tracked and monitored
• Trackunit Kin will help eliminate downtime by unlocking 10% of every working day spent searching for misplaced tools and attachments
• Trackunit Kin will massively reduce the 79% of stolen or lost equipment never recovered

“Trackunit Kin is a game changer for the industry, closing the last connectivity loop between large machines and smaller equipment and accessories,” says Trackunit CEO, Jorgen Raguse. “For the first time, the entire inventory of diverse site equipment can be connected using a single software platform. This will be a massive productivity boost across the industry from equipment rental companies to contractors and OEMs.”

The Tool You Need, When You Need It

Trackunit Kin allows the spread of productive technology across the supply-chain enabling R&D teams at OEMs, rental companies, fleet managers, foremen, operators and users to gain meaningful intelligence. This capability allows users to locate and identify the precise attachment, accessory or tool quickly and easily – even when multiple identical units are together in one location. Utilities built into the tag include:

• Find my asset – Use the mobile app anywhere in the field to locate an asset
• Lost mode – This provides the ability to set an asset to lost and the system to send a notification when the asset is found
• Pairing – Track the utilization of machine attachments and tools – including ‘attachment to machine’ pairing
• LED indicator – Identify a specific asset in a pool of assets by activating the LED on the tag

Tag It, Track It, Done

Trackunit Kin is simple to install, connect and make ready for use within a minute. The new tag interfaces with the company’s secure, open, cloud-based productivity platform Iris, with information presented via Trackunit Manager. The new hardware offers a small (2.1in x 1.4 in) robust device that exceeds industrial design standard IP69, offering UV resistance and flame-retardant housing.

• Bluetooth 5.2 – Ultra low power, premium tier Bluetooth SoC hardware
• Activate, install and onboard tags in seconds, using a mobile device creating a seamless experience
• Battery – Self-powered using a lithium coin cell, Kin provides up to 5-years reliable use in normal operating conditions

• Boosting Digital Transformation across the Construction Industry

Technology is continuing to highlight opportunities where the construction industry can reduce costs and increase productivity. Today, data collection and analytics are able to provide insights into machine use, service and lifecycle that are helping change the organization, productivity and profitability of construction projects.

Trackunit Kin allows users to connect to every piece of significant equipment onsite, in transit or in the depot using a single platform. From large buckets to hand tools, the new device delivers a cost-effective system for ensuring that equipment is never lost again, saving time and money and all in a single solution.
