Civil engineering contractor BAM Nuttall has installed new fleet management technology to its crawler crane fleet to prevent unauthorised use and reduce costs.
BAM Nuttall Plant is using Kosran Safety Access Control (SAC) to protect its cranes. The system stops theft and unauthorised use of plant. Linked to operators’ training cards, it also improves site safety as only qualified operators can use the equipment.
The plant owner can remotely control both the machines and the operators via an internet log-in, or using an app for smartphones and tablets. This way they can add or delete approved users, geo-fence the location of the equipment and set time frames outside of which the machines cannot be operated. They can also access information such as battery status on electrically powered plant; and more accurately plan machine service intervals based on hard data of hours in use.
