Construction Excellence

Maximize equipment performance through smart data

Construction and heavy equipment operations face unique challenges: tracking high-value assets across multiple sites, managing mixed fleets of both on-road vehicles and specialized equipment, and ensuring maintenance schedules align with actual usage patterns rather than arbitrary timelines.
Powerfleet’s Unity platform unifies data from every asset, vehicle, and driver into a comprehensive management ecosystem. Our device-agnostic approach integrates existing systems and hardware into a single platform that provides actionable insights for yellow iron equipment and over-the-road vehicles. This unified approach helps reduce operational costs, enhance safety, optimize utilization, and extend equipment lifespan while protecting your investments.
Construction Industry Challenges

Solving critical construction challenges

Construction and heavy equipment operations face complex challenges in managing diverse assets across multiple job sites. Our solutions transform these difficulties into opportunities for enhanced operational efficiency, cost reduction, and improved asset protection.
Equipment theft and unauthorized usage prevention
Construction site theft costs the industry up to $1 billion annually with less than 25% recovery rate. Our asset-tracking solutions provide real-time location data, geofence alerts, and after-hours movement detection. Combined with remote equipment lockdown capabilities, these features help prevent theft and enable faster recovery of stolen assets.
Inefficient maintenance scheduling and equipment downtime
Following OEM maintenance schedules without considering actual usage leads to over-servicing or missed maintenance, causing unnecessary costs and equipment failures. Our platform tracks engine hours and hydraulic system activation to tailor maintenance to real-world usage, reducing downtime, extending equipment life, and maximizing investment returns.
Poor visibility into equipment location and availability
Not knowing where equipment is located or when it’s available undermines project scheduling and customer service. Our comprehensive tracking solutions provide real-time visibility across all asset types and sites. This enables more efficient resource allocation, reduced rental costs, and improved project planning with accurate equipment availability data.
Driver safety and on-road vehicle management
On-road vehicles present different challenges than stationary equipment. Our Vision AI system monitors driver behavior to reduce accidents and fuel waste, while our ELD solutions ensure regulatory compliance. This dual approach provides comprehensive protection for all vehicle types in your mixed fleet operations.
Manual data collection and disparate fleet systems
Managing diverse data from multiple systems creates information silos and incomplete operational views. Unity’s device-agnostic platform ingests data from most IoT devices, OEM systems, and business applications to create a single source of truth. This unified approach eliminates manual data collection and provides comprehensive operational visibility.
Measurable Construction Savings

Asset Protection

Asset protection

Protect your high-value construction equipment with advanced tracking and security features. Real-time location monitoring provides continuous visibility across all job sites, while geofence capabilities alert you instantly when equipment moves outside of designated areas. After-hours movement detection helps prevent unauthorized use and theft.

Our asset protection solutions include remote equipment lockdown features that enable swift response to potential theft, increasing recovery rates and reducing losses. Detailed usage logs also help identify unauthorized equipment operation, ensuring assets are only used for approved purposes and during designated times.

Equipment Monitoring

Equipment monitoring

Gain comprehensive visibility into equipment status and performance with our advanced monitoring solutions. Track engine hours, hydraulic system activation, and operational patterns to understand how your equipment is utilized across projects and sites. Real-time diagnostic alerts notify you of potential issues before they cause failures.

Our monitoring systems deliver actionable insights on equipment utilization rates, identifying underused assets that could be redeployed and overused equipment requiring additional support. This balanced approach ensures optimal resource allocation while preventing premature wear on high-demand assets.

Maintenance Optimization

Maintenance optimization

Move beyond scheduled maintenance to actual usage-based servicing with our maintenance optimization tools. By tracking actual engine hours and operational data, our system helps you develop maintenance schedules based on real-world equipment use rather than arbitrary timelines.

Predictive maintenance capabilities identify potential issues before they cause breakdowns, while diagnostic trouble code monitoring enables faster troubleshooting. This comprehensive approach reduces downtime, extends equipment life, and optimizes maintenance budgets by eliminating both under- and over-servicing. Our AEMP 2.0 compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing maintenance systems.

On-Road Safety

On-road safety

Enhance driver safety and reduce accidents with Vision AI’s intelligent monitoring system. Our AI-powered cameras detect distraction, fatigue, and unsafe behaviors in real time, providing immediate driver alerts and detailed coaching opportunities. Comprehensive event recording captures both driver actions and road conditions for complete context.

Driver scorecards and performance tracking identify high-risk operators for targeted training, while detailed reporting demonstrates your commitment to safety. This systematic approach reduces accidents, lowers insurance costs, and protects your drivers and assets while supporting compliance with safety regulations.

Fuel Management

Fuel management

Control fuel expenses and prevent waste with advanced fuel management tools. Real-time monitoring tracks vehicle, driver, and route consumption patterns, identifying inefficient operations and potential fraud. Our system detects sudden drops in fuel levels and matches consumption with refilling records to prevent theft.

For stationary equipment, our fuel management solutions ensure generators and other fuel-dependent assets never run dry. Driver behavior monitoring identifies patterns that increase fuel consumption, enabling targeted coaching to improve efficiency. Detailed reporting supports budget management and documents the impact of your fuel-saving initiatives.

Operational Efficiency

Operational efficiency

Transform operational efficiency with Unity’s comprehensive data platform. By consolidating information from all your equipment, vehicles, and systems into a single interface, Unity eliminates data silos and provides complete operational visibility. Real-time analytics identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities across your entire operation.

Automated reporting eliminates manual data collection, while customizable dashboards deliver the metrics that matter most to your business. Integration with existing business systems extends the value of your current technology investments while providing the comprehensive insights needed to optimize operations and maximize productivity.
