Introduction

The Proemion Global Telematics system is a highly integrated ecosystem that delivers comprehensive end-to-end telematics services. When deployed on a fleet of machinery or vehicles, it allows stakeholders to gain value that would otherwise be either extremely inconvenient, prohibitively expensive or downright impossible to obtain.

Example Telematics Features

Some examples of functionality that can be achieved with Proemion Telematics are listed below.

  • Service technicians and engineers are able to diagnose machine issues remotely, saving significant time and cost.
  • Sales and marketing are able to understand usage patterns per region and use the insights for better market positioning.
  • Product management and R&D engineers can uncover statistics on failure patterns and optimize machine design.
  • Machine owners can get insights on operational parameters such as machine utilization and optimize fleet management.
  • Machine theft alerts and tracking can result in lower insurance cost in some markets and, of course, machine recovery in such cases.
  • And the list goes on with both basic telematics features such as fuel consumption and operating hour overviews as well as more "exotic" ones such as automated fuel theft detection and machine failure prediction.

Intended Audience

This guide is written for technical stakeholders who maintain the integration between the Proemion telematics system and the machines it provides connectivity to.

It is assumed you have a good grasp of terminology widely used in the control and computer systems engineering domain, and as such, terms falling in this category are used without providing explanations. Other, less common or Proemion specific terms and acronyms, will be defined in-line.

Of course, in case of doubt, please do not hesitate to contact Proemion support.

Scope

Reading this guide should enable you to understand the following.

  • The interrelations the Proemion Global Telematics system components.
  • The function of each component.
  • How to configure the system to collect and visualize machine signals (e.g. view engine speed in rpm).
  • How to configure the system to use machine signals to infer other information (e.g. understand the type of activity a pile driver is performing).
  • How to configure the system to allow a remote operator to send data to the machine (e.g. in a mobile crane, set the maximum length the operator can extend the arm to).
