Innovative Product Award Honorable Mention -- Genie Lift Connect Telematics
Product Name: Genie Lift Connect Telematics
Manufacturer: Terex AWP
Key Innovation: An evolved telematics solution.
Description: The Genie Lift Connect program is a telematics offering focused on actionable information, flexibility and transparency. Genie Lift Connect telematics technology helps rental stores understand the information their machines are providing, enabling them to manage their businesses more efficiently.
Actionable Information The Genie Lift Connect program enables rental companies to dive deeper into machine reporting data to get a more complete picture of the fleet’s health, its operating status in the field and when maintenance is required, with information such as:
- Machine fault codes
- Sensor data
- Fuel level
- Battery life
- Charger information
Flexible The Genie Lift Connect solution provides data in two ways: Customers can utilize the Genie Lift Connect portal and all of its features, or alternatively, if with an existing system, customers can consume the data via a standard API.
Transparency
The Genie Lift Connect telematics solution focuses on sharing more machine data. Genie Lift Connect telematics provides data that helps fleet and service managers:
- Remotely troubleshoot machines issues in the field prior to a costly service visit
- Plan maintenance more efficiently with information provided remotely from machines
- Easily identify parts required to complete maintenance
- Identify potential training opportunities for operators based on equipment usage
- Optimize fleet planning through improved utilization tracking
The data from the Genie Lift Connect offering initially is “descriptive,” focusing on what’s currently happening with a machine including how many hours are on a machine, where the machine physically is and if there are any fault codes on it. Over time, Genie Lift Connect data can be leveraged on a larger scale and used for “predictive” and “prescriptive” activities, such as predicting failures in the field based on how the equipment is actually being used and proactively prescribing maintenance and service.
