Heavy machinery is a goldmine of data, but without the right tools, you’re operating blind.
The Ruptela Smart5’s ability to read CANbus data from vehicles and equipment is a game-changer. It’s not just about tracking where a machine is, but about understanding what it’s doing, and how it’s performing.
For a construction company, this data can drive a shift from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance, preventing unexpected downtime.
For an agricultural cooperative, it means optimising machine usage and accurately tracking fuel consumption to manage costs.
CANbus data empowers smarter, data-driven decisions.
As an example, Ruptela’s Smart5 can retrieve parameters from a John Deere 6320SE such as:
CAN engine total fuel used: This provides precise data for fuel cost analysis and can highlight which machines or operators are the most efficient.
CAN engine speed (RPM) and CAN engine percent load at current speed: By monitoring these, you can optimize usage patterns, reduce wear and tear, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
CAN PTO state: Knowing when the power take-off (PTO) is active allows you to accurately measure the machine’s true work time – a critical metric for billing, maintenance, and asset utilization.
CAN accelerator pedal position 1, CAN brake switch, and CAN clutch switch: These parameters offer insights into operator behaviour, which can be used to improve safety and provide targeted training.
