Hitachi Intros Fleet Management System

July 15, 2024
"Solution Linkage Connect" will eventually include other OEM machines.

Hitachi Construction Machinery has announced a new fleet management system called Solution Linkage (SL) Connect.

With easy access from their phones, tablets, or computers, SL Connect telematics users can monitor their machines on different worksites from anywhere in various languages.

How many fleets are using telematics?

“Mid to large-sized construction companies in North America manage a large number of equipment using multiple systems, facing challenges of management workload and efficiency,” says Satoshi Inose, general manager of DNA development & promotion dept., Hitachi Construction Machinery.

“Solution Linkage Connect aggregates machine operation data by entire fleet, project, and worksite, enabling management and analysis through a dashboard,” Inose says. “The system currently targets Hitachi Construction Machinery models, but in the future users that own machines from other companies will also be able to manage them with SL Connect.”

SL Connect allows users to:

  • View information from their Hitachi Construction Machinery machines quickly from one place
  • Monitor the utilization information from all their machines
  • Geofence an area on the map to separate projects and specific worksites
  • Graph and view operating information for each project and worksite
  • View the information of machine alarms remotely, in real time
  •       Download a report detailing the operating information and alarm information of machines.
