2. Install and configure your units

Everything starts with installation! If the units are not properly installed you cannot pull the data you need to optimize your fleet. Maybe you are installing the units yourself, maybe the units are already installed, or maybe someone else is installing the units for you. Either way, you can find guides to support you below.

  • Install a unit

If a unit cannot be found on your account, you may need to activate it. Contact our support team in order to activate your units.

  • Verify your units

Once you have installed your units you need to verify them. See how to verify your units here

  • Change the information on a unit

You can change the name of a unit to match the machine it is fitted to easily distinguish between the units in your fleet. See here how to add and change the information on your units

  • Add units to groups

Segment your fleet and create focused views to zoom in on a particular set of assets and grant users access to only the assets relevant to them. See how to use groups to manage assets and people

  • Get most out of your units

In Asset Home you can check up on the daily machine utilization, CAN-bus sensor data, and investigate any current active events. You can see the specifics of your unit; which groups the unit is a part of, the brand, the power supply, serial number, and production year.

  • Movement: know a machine's location in a particular point in time.

  • Insights: analyse the data from your machine.

  • Specification: match your machine to add technical details, images, and documents from Speccheck, and draw upon a wealth of data from our database.

3. Finish your account setup

  • Invite, edit, or delete users

You can have multiple users on your account and grant them visibility and user roles to give them access to specific groups, machines, or administrative rights, according to their needs.
