For contractors and rental companies managing a mixed fleet of specialty equipment, getting unique equipment connected to one IoT platform has always been a challenge. Since generators, pumps, compressors, heaters, and chillers typically have specialized controllers with varying sensor and data sources, it makes seamless connectivity difficult. Without visibility alongside your standard equipment fleet, inefficiencies will rise and operational blind spots will grow resulting in unwanted downtime on mission critical equipment.
That’s where Trackunit’s Speciality Equipment Solutions come in—taking the complexity out of integration so you can focus on productivity. Let’s explore how Trackunit makes it easy to ensure unified fleet visibility so you can take control of your uptime.
Integration starts at the IoT device level. The Trackunit Raw TU700 device supports Modbus and Dual CAN connectivity, allowing physical connections to a variety of specialty equipment. This ensures that no matter what the asset type is, you get direct access to real-time machine data. No more fragmented visibility – everything is connected via one telematics solution.
Because different machines generate different data, simple plug-and-play isn’t always an option. Trackunit’s technical team analyzes and establishes the correct data source and format for each asset type, ensuring consistent, usable insights. With accurate data mapping, you eliminate guesswork and gain reliable operational intelligence.
Based on the data map for your unique machine, Trackunit provides many pre-built equipment profiles and supports custom profile development, ensuring that each invaluable machine’s data is captured, organized, and processed correctly. Whether you’re tracking fuel consumption, power, load, status, temperature, pressure, runtime, or fault codes, you get the insights that matter most to your business.
Trackunit leverages over-the-air capabilities to manage equipment profile deployment at scale remotely, keeping your IoT device configuration up to date without requiring on-site manual intervention. Hosting specialty equipment profiles directly on the IoT device at the ‘edge’ enables continuous data processing, ensuring accurate and reliable cloud transmission.
Once data is collected, Trackunit’s Iris platform ensures it’s formatted and delivered seamlessly and consistently into Trackunit Manager. This means all your specialty equipment data — regardless of manufacturer or model — exists in a unified and easy-to-use platform, helping you make faster, data-driven decisions to get to the outcomes you need.
Every fleet has different deployment needs. Whether you prefer Trackunit’s expert installation, self-installation, or custom harnessing solutions, there’s a deployment model that can fit — ensuring that your team gets connected with minimal downtime.
Managing a mixed fleet doesn’t have to mean juggling disconnected systems. As featured in International Rental News and Pro Contractor Rentals, Trackunit’s specialty equipment solution is gaining industry recognition for its ability to:
By tackling the integration challenge, Trackunit ensures your entire fleet—no matter the equipment type—stays visible, connected, and productive.
