FAQs
What is the purpose of the telematics boxes?
The telematics boxes are used to transfer the machine data to our SAM software and our RAM solution for construction machinery rental companies. The devices send information such as live location and technical data, such as operating hours, which can be conveniently accessed through the app.
Why are there different telematics boxes?
Since construction machinery varies widely, we at syniotec have developed different versions of telematics boxes, each tailored to specific types of construction machines. Which ones are ultimately suitable is discussed individually between syniotec and the customer during the planning stage.
How do I obtain the machine data?
Depending on the device, there are various options for reading out the machine data. CORE and LINK send the data actively and independently. For passive tags there are our TAGS with these options:
- QR: Quick Response (=QR) is a two-dimensional code on the telematics device. This code is scanned with our app to access the individual device profile with all the information.
- NFC: NFC stands for Near Field Communication and enables contactless exchange over a short distance. The smartphone is simply held up to the device to call up the information.
Hardware for every application
Edge
Ideal for construction machinery such as excavators or wheel loaders.
Link
Ideal for attachments such as vibratory plates or shovels.
OBD
Ideal for cars and trucks.
Passive telematics
Direct access to the device profile.
Digital access to your equipment
In addition to the IoT, which reliably sends central data to SAM & RAM, we offer passive telematics. Clearly visible on the equipment, these enable digital access to the individual device profile via QR and NFC scan.
We also offer different variants:
- TAGS for construction machinery and large equipment
- TOOL-TAGS for tools and small equipment
- Chain-TAGS for heavy chains
- QR-Sticker
