CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT TELEMATICS
Remote monitoring of construction fleet
The construction equipment monitoring system enables real-time tracking of key operational parameters, including fuel consumption, engine load by modes (“idle,” “optimal,” “overload”), fuel level in tanks and cisterns, position and activity of attachments, working and auxiliary equipment, electrical system parameters, axle load, location, routes, engine/components diagnostics, and overall technical condition.
The solution is applicable to virtually all types of construction equipment: excavators, bulldozers, graders, tractors, front-end and mini loaders, truck cranes, telescopic handlers, aerial work platforms, concrete mixers, concrete pumps, dump trucks, asphalt pavers, road rollers, cold planers and milling machines, diesel generators, compressors, pumps, drilling rigs, pile drivers, and other specialized machinery.
Fuel and engine monitoring is the basis of the Technoton telematics system
By ensuring precise fuel consumption and level measurement, CO₂ emissions tracking, and control of engine operating modes, the system delivers :
- Up to 50% fuel savings
- Lower operating expenses
- Improved operational discipline and safety
- Enhanced maintenance quality and downtime prevention
- Reduced environmental impact
Fuel and engine monitoring
Hardware for monitoring and control of construction equipment
Technoton hardware and software can function as an independent telematics solution or be integrated into third-party GPS vehicle tracking system, providing comprehensive control over operation of construction equipment.
The monitoring system includes Technoton telematics devices, sensors, and fuel flow meters, enabling:
- Fuel and operating mode monitoring
Accurate measurement of fuel consumption and tank level, tracking of all fuel-consuming components, and analysis of engine operating modes (idle, overload, etc.) help optimize costs and identify inefficiencies. - Equipment and system health monitoring
Diagnostics of machine components and attachments, axle load control, support for third-party sensors (temperature, pressure, vibration), and automated maintenance scheduling help reduce breakdown risks and minimize downtime. - Movement and usage tracking
Monitoring of routes, geofences, and on-site working time helps prevent unauthorized use and fuel theft, track labor costs and equipment rental, and improve logistics planning.
Parameters monitored by telematics system
FUEL

• Total fuel consumption
• Total fuel used in “Idle”, “Optimal”,”Overload” modes
• Fuel temperature
• Fuel level (volume) in tanks
ATTACHMENTS AND WORKING EQUIPMENT
• Vibration and mechanical loads
• Position of buckets, hydraulic breakers, drilling rigs, etc.
• Operating time of working/attachment equipment
• Fuel consumption by working equipment
• Power consumption (for electric drives)
• Equipment location, attachment/detachment of trailer tags
ENGINE
• Engine hours (runtime)
• Operating time in “Idle”, “Optimal”, “Overload” modes
• Coolant temperature, Engine oil pressure
• Total CO2 emission, Hourly CO2 emission
• Current engine operating mode: Idle/Optimal/Overload
EVENTS
• Power on/off, engine start/stop
• Operating time in “Overload,” “Tampering,” and other modes
• Fuel consumption in “Overload” mode, refueling/draining from tank
• Panic button pressed, onboard power system fault
• Loading, unloading, axle overload
• Exiting/entering geofence, speeding
