[WRE | ADVISOR] 5 WAYS TO PUT TELEMATICS
DATA TO WORK Tips for taming the wild west of data collection and reporting

When the data is shared with the OEM and is kept for the lifetime of the asset it allows owners and OEMs to partner in analyzing this data. Engineers for the OEM and maintenance personnel for the owner can better predict and make adjustments to improve productivity and reliability of the asset.
In some ways, telematics development is like
the wild west. As the technology and its application has evolved, there was not much consistency from manufacturer to manufacturer or machine to machine in what data was measured. Te Association of Equipment Management
Professionals and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers developed a standard that identified 19 consistent data points and 42 fault code points to be measured, bringing some order to the “wild west.” In 2016, that standard was published by the International Standards Organization. Te ISO mixed-fleet telematics standard specifies the communication schema designed to provide mobile machinery status data from a telematics provider’s server to third-party client applications via the Internet. Standardization reduces the amount of code that software developers have to write. Tat time and cost savings can be passed onto the user. However, cranes in their complexity require far
more data points to be collected. AEMP and AEM are currently working on a similar standard for cranes. According to an update published on AEMP’s website in September 2018 from the AEMP Technology Committee, AEMP’s Advanced Standards Committee in collaboration with AEM, is in process of “finalizing data points for the upcoming crane telematics data standard.” Until that time, telematics for cranes have either been developed by the OEM or customized from third-party systems to meet the needs of crane users.

This chart provides a comparison of the number of standard data points currently identified by AEMP and AEM with the number of data points that can be collected by a crane OEM telematics system, in this case the Link- Belt Pulse system.
elematics is a data collection system that allows owners of machinery to view the current operation and function of their assets. Its true value is when you take the data and turn it into useful information. Owners can then make decisions to
This chart generally demonstrates how many more data points can be reported in an OEM-installed telematics system versus an after-market system. iCraneTrax combines both after-market flexibility with portal access to Link-Belt and Manitowoc proprietary systems.
iCraneTrax was the first, and is currently the only, cross-platform crane telematics system available. It provides a portal for Link-Belt crane owners to access
