In full line of M2M communication solutions for heavy
machinery:
Komatsu chooses Quake Global modems
Quake Global, Inc., a leading manufacturer of M2M communicators for
multiple satellite and terrestrial networks, announced that Komatsu
Ltd., the world’s second largest construction equipment manufacturer, is
using QUAKE’s Q1000 and Q1200 modems in its full line of M2M
communication solutions for heavy machinery. The QUAKET modems provide
rugged, dependable, and cost-efficient performance for Komatsu.
Komatsu’s dynamic solution, called KOMTRAX, is installed on nearly
all tier three Komatsu construction equipment. KOMTRAX collects a
variety of information including location, fuel consumption, maintenance
reminders and out-of-area alerts. QUAKE’s M2M communicators use
satellites to transmit that data from the field to a Komatsu server for
access by service personnel and customers. All types of messages may be
sent between the customer and the heavy equipment. For instance,
customers can issue nighttime and calendar lock commands to disable
equipment during certain times of the day or night.
The service also sends maintenance alerts to Komatsu service
personnel to proactively perform preventative maintenance. This means
customers get more productivity out of their equipment, keep costs down,
and increase profitability.
