The majority if construction companies experience equipment theft firsthand. If you have not so far, are you taking the correct steps, or are you just lucky? With a solution such as Asset Security from Ossian Dynamics, early detection can significantly improve the likelihood of early recovery. The solution provides activated real time tracking which means it does not need to wait till it is activated. You can set a geo-fence which is a radial zone which defines the normal area of operation. If it moves outside that an alert is sent to you. In addition you can set curfew times when the equipment should not be in operation. The system also supports polygon, user defined operation areas such as a city block or an irregular work area which supplements the geo-fence which in practical terms may not afford the level of granularity necessary to protect your assets.
Included is the capability for on-road vehicles to be monitored for speed violations; and once again notification and recording for future management action are available. While this is an important set of capabilities, the data collected can be leveraged by other components of the system.

| Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking actively monitors location and state of equipment and reports back to our servers. |
Know at all times where your assets are and understand availability. |
| Ability to specify equipment-specific or Group Curfews for machine operation. |
Provide accurate location instructions to transportation and service staff, saving time and money. |
| Ability to establish a pre-defined radial boundary around equipment. |

| Lock-down capability whereby a command can be sent to a piece of equipment to temporarily immobilize a piece of equipment. |
Prevent un-authorized use of equipment and the costs associated with the machine operation. |
| Speed sensor which will reports incidents |
Identify inappropriate driving behavior. Take disciplinary action with documented evidence leading to reduced safety risks. |
| Extensive reporting with ability to group, and set time periods. |
Analyze and compare usage and productivity across work sites and field management to improve overall productivity. |
| Capability to email reports automatically. |
Ensure that all constituents are provided with update information regardless of where they are so they can act upon the results. |
| Collect and accumulate run time data. |
By having an accurate and current picture of usage informed decisions can be made on how to get more productivity from the equipment spread and avoid un-necessary equipment rentals |
| Specialized reporting such as necessary for Air Quality standards |
By having accurate support documentation on where your equipment has been, then information is available to support your position with disputes and claims. |
