What is GPS Asset Tracking for Construction

GPS tracking and asset management for construction equipment is a game changer for both large and small contractors. Advanced GPS-enabled asset management can extend data from vehicle trackers and telematics into maintenance functions including spares and repairs, preventive maintenance, technician scheduling, and even projected maintenance labor demand. Straightforward “slap and track” systems enable any contractor to track any device’s location. Specific trackers can also capture additional data streams like operating hours.

Recent IRONPROS Construction Asset Tracking Insights:

In the IRONPROS GPS Asset Tracking & Fleet Management Category, we present options that may use GPS, GNSS or other technologies that provide visibility into equipment location. These technologies may also capture condition information either through vibration or temperature sensors or accelerometers or from a piece of equipment’s telematics unit. GPS Asset Tracking & Fleet Management software for construction can be used to track:

  • Heavy or light equipment with their own telematics unit
  • Powered equipment with no telematics through sensors provided by the software vendor
  • Unpowered assets, where sensors will need their own batteries and may include battery-saving features to extend life

GPS Asset Management with Construction Equipment Maintenance

Some software harnesses GPS location and operations data to inform maintenance, and may have functionality for planned maintenance management, technician staffing, spares and repairs, maintenance scheduling, and even rostering for maintenance technicians against demand. Some software vendors are beginning to explore predictive maintenance, mostly be exposing more advanced data sets from OEMs. IRONPROS is watching for advancements that will expose the maintenance history, either within a given construction organization or across a dealer or OEM’s customer base, for prescriptive or prognostic maintenance.

GPS Asset Management with Asset Accounting

Some software connects equipment data to financial data in a construction enterprise resource planning (ERP) software application. This may:

  • Support cost accounting for maintenance, parts and operation
  • Inform fix-or-replace decisions
  • Enable profitable decisions on major refits
  • Allow a leadership team to compare demand for productivity with the productive capacity of the fleet

GPS Asset Management for Project Control

Data from connected construction equipment can inform not just maintenance, but project management activities as the location, pace and activities of equipment are captured, influencing dispatching, scheduling and site communications.
