Telematics and positioning market giant Trimble outlined a new partnership with original equipment manufacturer John Deere, doubled down on its partnership with Caterpillar and announced a natural language artificial intelligence-based tool in its Trimble Connect project management platform at the Trimble Dimensions conference held in Las Vegas, Nov. 11 to 13.

Efficiencies in design, construction and building use are being unlocked thanks to analysis and proactive changes informed by construction data. Even 3D printing for a NASA project on structures on Mars is on the table.

Tailored technology is bringing equipment information within the reach of all firms

The FLEXVOLT 2.5-gallon cordless air compressor is able to deliver 1.2 scfm of air at 90 psi, with a maximum pressure of 135 psi.

In a major step toward providing a common set of equipment data across mixed fleets, the telematics standard, which is being developed jointly by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and the Association of Equipment Management Professionals, received approval on July 21 from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as a global standard.

With more and more construction fleets implementing telematics, it is critical to ensure that the information acquired is useful and actionable.

Today’s construction equipment manager faces a wide range of challenges in effectively managing a fleet.

A dramatic rise in technology is making machinery more digitally connected—at a time when operating a fleet of machines is becoming more expensive.
