Attachment monitoring

We know your challenges

Attachments are expensive, often difficult to identify, are constantly transported back and forth between construction sites - and disappear faster than any machine.

Unclear location data

Tools are often spread over large areas, change locations unplanned and are easily overlooked or incorrectly documented without digital recording.

High risk of loss & theft

Attachments are easy to transport and are often left unattended - so they disappear quickly and go unnoticed for a long time in everyday life.

Missing proof of use

Without automatic recording, there is a lack of clear data for rental, billing or internal cost centers - manual lists quickly lead to gaps and errors.

Inefficient disposition

Teams often don't know where the equipment they need is or whether it is available at all, which leads to delays, idle time and unnecessary replacements.

High costs due to replacement procurement

Smaller attachments in particular are quickly lost, which adds up to considerable additional costs over a period of months, even though many devices would actually still be available.

Solution

Your benefits with our attachment monitoring system

With our solution, you can keep track of all your attachments at all times - from small tools to heavy attachments. The automatic recording of location, movement and use creates transparency, reduces losses and simplifies processes on every construction site.

Live localization

Maximum transparency for efficient scheduling

All attachments are tracked to the second. This means you can always see where each individual device is actually located, how it was moved and when it was last in use. No more searching. No unnecessary replacement purchases. No improvised emergency solutions or chaotic tool lists. With clear data, you can organize your construction sites noticeably more efficiently.
  • Clear map view of all devices
  • Automatic construction site assignment
  • Historical movement & usage reports

Theft protection

Protect investments and avoid failures

As soon as an attachment moves unexpectedly or leaves a defined area, you are notified immediately - even before a loss is noticed. Early warnings, traceable routes and a complete location history help you to prevent theft or quickly recover stolen equipment.
  • Immediate alarm via SMS or e-mail
  • Detect potential theft and misuse at an early stage
  • Avoid damage and project delays

Operating time recording

Simplify billing and optimize maintenance intervals

Automatically recorded movement and usage data provides reliable evidence of when and where an attachment was actually in use. Transparent documentation facilitates internal cost center accounting, rental processes and warranty or damage claims without the need to maintain manual lists.
  • Automatically recorded usage and movement data
  • Reliable basis for billing and letting
  • No more manual lists or missing proofs

Usage analyses

Recognize extraordinary use

Analyze the use of your attachments over longer periods of time and discover outliers.
  • Devices are stored passively at the
    site without operating hours (0 daylight hours, e.g. green)
  • Devices are normally active (1-8 hours of the day, e.g. yellow)
  • Devices are extremely active (>8 daylight hours, e.g. red)

What our customers say

Trust in the experience of over 100 satisfied construction companies that are already successfully using our telematics solution. Read how our customers benefit from transparency, optimized processes and reduced costs.

Our attachments are exposed to severe vibrations during rental. Until now, it was not possible to prove the actual operating time. With the cast MDsolid from MDT, we record the movements of three axles and can therefore use the actual usage independently and reliably for our invoicing. A real milestone for our rental business!

Junior boss
Hydraulik-Paule GmbH & Co. KG
For Georg Moll Tief- und Straßenbau GmbH & Co. KG, we have equipped numerous attachments with autonomous long-term trackers to reliably record location, movement and usage. Thanks to replaceable batteries, the trackers achieve a service life of 5-8 years depending on the operating conditions - ideal for devices without their own power supply. This allows the company to keep track of its equipment at all times, prevent losses and document operations much more accurately.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most important questions about attachment monitoring
Almost all attachments can be reliably gripped - from hydraulic hammers, grabs and milling cutters to drills and vibratory plates through to shovels, pallet forks and smaller tools. The only decisive factor is a suitable mounting surface.
Yes, the Oyster trackers are fully battery-operated and function completely independently. This makes them ideal for attachments that do not have their own power connection.
Depending on the configuration and operating conditions, the trackers achieve a service life of 5-8 years. The batteries are replaceable and can be changed without special tools.
Yes, the electronics are fully encapsulated and therefore permanently protected against water, dust, mud, oil, shocks and strong vibrations. The devices have protection classes up to IP68/69K and have been specially developed for everyday use on construction sites.
The trackers record movements via integrated sensors and document them automatically. This allows you to track when and for how long an attachment was actually used - ideal for billing, rental or internal documentation.
Installation is simple and flexible: using screws, rivets, cable ties or strong adhesive surfaces - depending on the device and surface. A power connection is not necessary.
Yes, live location and motion alarms allow devices to be quickly detected in the event of unauthorized use and located in an emergency. Movements outside defined zones trigger notifications immediately.
The Oyster series uses modern GPS and radio technologies for precise positioning. Exact coordinates are recorded in open environments, while advanced positioning methods are also used on construction sites or in halls.
Almost none. The extremely energy-efficient mode of operation ensures years of operation. A battery change is only necessary after several years. There are no regular maintenance costs.
You always have an overview of all attachments, reduce loss and theft, save search times and can clearly document operations. This leads to greater transparency, more efficient processes and a noticeable reduction in costs.
