Agreement reached on telematics standard

摘要

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) have agreed on a set of machine data for on-board telematics systems. Many manufacturers offer telematics systems to allow machine owners to monitor their equipment remotely. Such systems include an array of data such as temperatures, hours worked alarms and warnings, and geographic position if a GPS element is included. However, the increasing number of systems on the market and the lack of a unifying standard on common data and reporting has made it increasingly complex for owners to use these asset management tools.
