Global Contech Trackunit will demonstrate on booth 3159, its strengthened connectivity for off-highway construction as its Bluetooth-enabled Network Solution continues to gain traction, particularly among power tool manufacturers and contractors eager to leverage machine insights.
Its global installed base of IoT devices including Trackunit Raw and Beam serve as Bluetooth gateways, and the Bluetooth Network is live across more than 100,000 jobsites worldwide, creating a robust and scalable infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of the construction and rental industry.
Trackunit’s goal is 100% asset connectivity across tools and attachments, making it easy to track, locate, recover and find assets on jobsites. The system leverages connected devices to create a self-optimized, robust ecosystem, ensuring comprehensive coverage even in challenging environments.
A power tool manufacturer, or rental company can now immediately leverage an established, Bluetooth IoT network that is designed to grow and expand with the business. The technology positions the industry at the forefront of digitalization providing speed of implementation, access and scale to offer more services, including the utilization of third party tags, and more effective operations at a fraction of the cost of alternative methods.
“This capability also delivers seamless integration into a network with recognized Bluetooth standards that enable OEM-built smart tool solutions while offering a single-pane-of-glass view immediately available via Trackunit’s IoT platform,” said Laerke Ullerup, Trackunit’s Chief Product and Marketing Officer.
Ullerup added that the Trackunit Kin tag is an ideal solution for high value light equipment which can be leveraged as a Rental or OEM solution for a ready-to-go Bluetooth tag that operates on the network. “By offering these connectivity opportunities, manufacturers and rentals will be able to differentiate their products and add additional value through integrated technology and connectivity to customers on the platform of their choice,” she said.
Trackunit, which already connects more than 3.3 million assets, will also give contractors a far clearer overview of everything that is happening on the jobsite through the Network’s enhanced coverage capability.
“That will help end-users quickly locate tagged equipment while also accelerating global reach from depot to service centers and construction sites that can be shared as part of a general overview,” said Ullerup. “Network Solutions also addresses proprietary protocols and helps plug gaps in the data that can lead to operational inefficiencies and an erratic user experience.
“This provides rental companies and contractors with the tools to streamline operations and reduce downtime by offering a clear, real-time overview of all jobsite assets,” said Ullerup. “The growing global Bluetooth Network enables seamless connectivity and eliminates inefficiencies, empowering contractors to track, locate, and optimize tool and equipment usage across jobsites worldwide without relying on mobile phones.”
This eliminates gaps in coverage, enhances data security, and provides an industrial-grade solution tailored for complex, large-scale operations. The Global Bluetooth Network is a leap forward for the rental and construction industry, enabling seamless, decentralized connectivity that turns every connected machine into a communication hub.
