Xtellio Expands Industrial Telematics Across the Full Jobsite
Xtellio, a provider of data collecting and forwarding solutions for rental, construction and utility operations, is announcing a complete data infrastructure platform that now gives companies a unified foundation for collecting and delivering data across jobsite environments. The platform solution will debut at the American Rental Association (ARA) trade show at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando on March 2–4 (booth 4736) and at Conexpo at the Las Vegas Convention Center, on March 4–7 (North Hall booth N11753).
Developed from Xtellio’s mission of advancing data liberation, the platform now brings together ruggedized sensor devices and wired Pro-Xentral devices into a modular, scalable foundation. Together, these technologies provide reliable visibility to rental and construction companies across fleets, machines and jobsites, allowing customers to direct the data wherever they decide it will deliver the most value for their own purposes.
“Telematics originally gained traction in the construction industry in the early 2000s, focusing mainly on heavy equipment,” said Tom Valbak Aardestrup, CEO, Xtellio. “Today, we are pleased to offer a platform solution that moves that model forward, extending visibility across the jobsite environment and advancing data liberation through customer ownership and flexibility.”
Xtellio’s product portfolio is made up of over 32 rugged, plug-and-play, battery-powered Bluetooth sensors, called Xenses. These compact devices can be easily mounted on smaller fleet assets and non-powered tools to capture data, transmitting it to Xtellio’s cloud platform via the Xtellio gateways called “Xentrals.” Complementing the Xenses line is now also the Xtellio’s Pro-Xentral series (Standard, CANbus and recently announced Heat IQ), a range of wired telematics devices that connect directly to powered equipment, such as excavators, dozers, skid steers, boom lifts, light towers, industrial heaters, and more. They collect data, such as engine hours, diagnostics and status data for analysis and management. Designed for fast deployment, the platform supports easy installation across both wired and wireless equipment categories.
While traditional telematics companies might track and monitor the engine diagnostics of excavators and skid steers, for example, Xtellio captures and forwards data from mixed fleets of large equipment, wired equipment, smaller assets and tools such as auxiliary systems and industrial heaters but with broader data insights than a mere identifier. Delivering data through open Application Program Interfaces (APIs), the platform seamlessly connects to the customers’ existing business systems, ensuring they retain full ownership and control of their own data, a concept they call “data liberation.”
“Organizations of any size who control their own data by structuring it across every asset category will be the ones that move faster, and operate with more efficiency,” said Valbak. “Our customers can easily build their own solutions, front ends and dashboards so they have full control. With AI changing the software space dramatically, it all boils down to the data. We see the Xtellio platform as the place from where the data will originate.”
Xtellio was founded in 2005 by engineers with deep experience in industrial hardware, firmware and telematics who wanted to create a better way to bridge the gap between the physical world and usable data. From their beginnings of developing rugged sensing devices to creating a modular data infrastructure platform, Xtellio is now committed to open data rather than building just another dashboard. Their expertise and problem-solving mindset make Xtellio a trusted partner for rental, construction and equipment intensive companies who are seeking future-ready data solutions.
The platform is available across the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and in additional markets supported by LTE-M, NB-IoT or legacy 2G cellular networks. To learn more about Xtellio, please visit: www.xtellio.com.
