mobile IoT: the cloud solution for mobile machines
In a nutshell: with mobile IoT you can get the most out of your machine fleet mobile IoT is a fully integrated, scalable end-to-end solution consisting of hardware and software. The hardware maintains the dialogue between the machine and the cloud software where the information from all the networked machines converges centrally. This makes it possible to find out the exact status and location of the machine at any time. Similarly, you can efficiently distribute software updates to your fleet via the mobile IoT cloud. Regardless of whether you require a solution to permanently analyse and optimise prototypes in real field tests, to plan and prepare your rental
With mobile IoT, the benefits of digitalisation are also becoming a reality for mobile machines. Monitoring the performance status of a machine fleet, needs-based maintenance planning and software updates over the air – mobile IoT does it all.
