Maximizing your Heavy Machinery Output with Satellite Connectivity

Global Coverage

Heavy machinery can be deployed to some of the most remote locations on Earth where mobile networks can be limited or unavailable. We design and build satellite-enabled IoT and asset tracking hardware enabling global connectivity to your equipment.

Tracking Platform

Cloudloop Tracking provides real-time monitoring of all your heavy machinery, enhancing operational efficiency by collecting and interpreting equipment data through our cloud-based platform. For added flexibility, our APIs can integrate this data into your preferred fleet management system.

Instant Alerts

Telemetry alerts can enable a quick response to machinery faults or excessive usage to reduce equipment downtime. Mitigate against theft by using geofence alerts to detect immediately if your heavy equipment moves outside of its predefined areas.

Rugged Tough Devices

Often working in harsh and demanding environments, satellite-enabled devices for heavy equipment need to be robust to withstand extreme conditions.
Our RockREMOTE devices are IP66 to IP68 rated and can operate across a wide variety of temperature and vibration fluctuations. We also build OEM devices that can be incorporated into existing machinery housing.

Industries using Ground Control's Satellite Solutions for Heavy Machinery

Construction

Site safety is vital for Construction Projects which can involve multiple contractors operating at the same time on a project. Satellite enabled telemetry data and video surveillance can ensure heavy machinery operates within safe zones to protect personnel on the ground.

Mining

Working in demanding and harsh environments requires heavy machinery to be continuously monitored with robust satellite-enabled devices. Preventative maintenance using telematics alerts is vital to the smooth running of mining operations in remote locations.

Forestry

Working in dense forests and on difficult terrain, Forestry machinery utilizes satellite-enabled trackers to ensure timber processing only takes place in the designated zones and equipment is running efficiently. Asset tracking ensures the timber is delivered to the collection point and timber trucks are collecting regularly.

Leasing Companies

Heavy Machinery is regularly leased out to operations in remote locations, and often machinery can be operated poorly and left at risk of theft. With satellite-enabled telematic monitoring, leased machines can be monitored for usage within agreed tolerances, whilst satellite asset trackers can help to recover stolen machinery if it exits a geofenced area.

Agriculture

From tractors to harvesters, satellite connectivity allows farm managers to work smarter. It can support tasks such as automating crop planting, coordinating harvesting equipment, monitoring telemetry data for predictive maintenance, and remotely diagnosing unexpected machinery faults.

Infrastructure

Building roads, railways and bridges on tight deadlines relies on coordinated deliveries of materials and heavy equipment, often across borders and in remote locations. Satellite-enabled devices provide real-time updates on deliveries, and telematics can ensure onsite equipment is operating at peak efficiency.

Oil and Gas

Drilling in remote locations and in harsh environments needs satellite-enabled devices to ensure the safety of the drilling operation. Using telemetry data, drilling equipment can be monitored for drill bit temperature, vibration levels, engine temperature and equipment stability in order to react to changes before they damage the equipment and cause delays.
