How our customers use machines.cloud

Customer Stories

The implementation of a Real Time Condition Monitoring succeeded effortlessly by using the hardware of STW and the MACHINES.CLOUD of MDT. The unique "Live Widget" establishes a direct data channel to the vehicle on demand and delivers values every second. This allows monitoring of parameters such as NOx reduction, urea tank level, location and speed, as well as possible error messages and alarms."

Jan Ebbing

CEO at HJS Emission Technology GmbH & Co. KG

We are delighted to have finally arrived. With MDT and the associated open platform MACHINES.CLOUD, we will drive forward the strategic development of the digitalization and networking of our stages."

Jens Schäfer


Service technician at
RUTHMANN Holdings GmbH

As a manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicles, MACHINES.CLOUD gives us the opportunity to map our individual requirements in the area of telematics IoT. The open environment allows us to connect different telematics hardware and manage it freely in the cloud as well as connect other IOT platforms. The configuration of dashboards and the comprehensive user and role management make it possible to implement business models based on machine data directly in the MACHINES.CLOUD. When implementing the telematics solution, we can benefit from the close cooperation and direct communication with our cloud partner MDT."

Dominik Schmidt


Service Engineer Telematics at
SCHEUERLE Vehicle Factory GmbH

"As a transport company, we use short leases for our fleet to be able to adapt quickly to the market situation. Previously, tracking system conversions were quite cumbersome. With the OBD tracker, we can integrate new vehicles into the fleet quickly and easily into the fleet monitoring system. All without a technician with special automotive knowledge. Thanks to live tracking, we save valuable time when dispatching."
Andreas Schlesinger
Managing Director at iSyLog GmbH
"Disposing of vehicles by telephone is difficult above a certain fleet size. We can make the best use of live tracking for our daily dispatching. The fact that we no longer have to read out our tachographs and driver cards by hand saves us time and helps us to act in a legally compliant manner in this area."
Michael Gloßner
Managing Director at NEUMARKTER GLOSSNERBRÄU
"Our trucks are permanently on the road. Taking care of the readout in between has been very tedious up to now. This work often fell on the weekend. With the use of the Remote Download our DDD files are automatically integrated into our archiving software We feel an enormous reduction in workload and organization and can concentrate more on our core business."
Gerald Austen
Managing Director at Erdbau Austen GmbH

Until now, we had to read the hour meters for the billing of the rental machines. Thanks to MDT's fleet system, this now runs automatically and we can access the status live remotely at any time. The fast processing and reliable support have impressed us from the very beginning."

Andrea Hartmann


sales manager at
Hesse Machinery and Equipment Sales Ltd.

In the rental business, our attachments are subjected to harsh vibrations. Until now, it was not possible to prove the actual usage time. With MDT's encapsulated MDsolid, we record the movements of three axles and can thus use the actual usage autonomously and reliably for our billing. A real milestone for our rental business!"

Manuel Paulus


managing director at
Paules Mietpark GmbH

For each scenario, we used a different system, some from manufacturers and some from third-party providers. We could never integrate all units with one provider. We have been working with MDT for years and have integrated our entire fleet of vehicles and machinery into one platform. In addition to the good portfolio of hardware and software, we were particularly convinced by the passionate support. Seriousness, reliability, quality and sustainability play a key role for us. We have recognized the opportunities of digitization and are positioning ourselves for the future."

Andreas Clear wine

managing director at Gebrüder Klarwein GmbH

"When I first saw the MDsolid, I quickly realized that this could be an important upgrade for our high-quality attachments. The virtually indestructible design of the hardware in combination with the web portal to retrieve the data at any time is unique. The equipment can be customized at any time via remote update. As a result, we install the MDsolid at our factory upon request."
Thomas Fischer
Managing Director at MBI Deutschland GmbH
"Until now, we have handled our processes analogously. With our container locator, we can organize our everyday tasks more efficiently and transparently. A completely self-sufficient system, small but with a big battery and a modern and simple locating view we finally found at MDT."
Karl Seger
Managing Director at Karl Seger GmbH
"For our containers and equipment we were looking for a reliable tracker with long battery life and good price/performance ratio. MDT's Oyster 2 was the right solution for us. Thanks to its long battery life, we don't have to worry about it for many years, we can change the batteries ourselves and we always know where our equipment is."
