OEM Data Delivery

OEM Data Delivery introduces a comprehensive telematics system designed for owners of heavy equipment that want to track and manage their equipment and each unit's fuel consumption. The system is a wireless, hands-free way to capture individual asset locations, along with work time, engine idle and service alerts.

It tracks machine hours, location and can generate custom service alerts so maintenance can be scheduled when needed, and over-servicing is avoided. A fuel tracker unit, used in conjunction with the ST-900, tracks in real time the dispensing of fuel and other consumables into individual equipment or vehicles.
