Vermeer Offers Telematics with New Equipment Purchases

Standard Package Free for 3 Years

Vermeer telematics
April 3, 2020

Manufacturer Vermeer announced it would now offer three years of telematics service to customers buying equipment in several industrial lines. The standard telematics package includes access to operating hours, GPS location and geofencing capabilities to help contractors stay informed about the service needs of their fleet.

Vermeer equipment lines that now come with standard telematics include:

  • Horizontal directional drills
  • Pipeline trenchers
  • Vermeer Terrain Leveler surface excavation machines (SEM)

Additional Vermeer equipment lines will come standard with telematics over the next year.

“Telematics today have evolved, and reporting has gotten better,” explains Brad Ausman, product manager for Vermeer Intelligent Worksite. “Today, the Vermeer standard telematics package can help contractors go from reactionary to predictive maintenance. In the future, we’ll be able to provide even more data-driven equipment and applications solutions that will allow contractors to operate more efficiently and maximize production.”

The company will also begin introducing new tiers of telematics packages across all of its industrial product lines that will incorporate machine performance information as well as many other data-driven metrics to help crews work more efficiently and maximize their equipment.

Ausman says adding telematics to every Vermeer industrial equipment line is the first step in the company’s long-term commitment to giving customers access to machine data, which can help them be more proactive with preventative maintenance, right-size their equipment needs and increase operating efficiencies.

“We are committed to creating data-driven solutions focused on the needs of all the markets and customers we serve,” he says. “To do this, we are talking with contractors and our dealers to shape data into insights that can be acted upon and that will add value to our customers’ businesses. This level of telematics, the Vermeer Telematics Silver package, is already available on many horizontal directional drills, pipeline trenchers and the Vermeer Terrain Leveler SEM.”

Vermeer is also redesigning its telematics user portal to make it more user-friendly and allow contractors to export data for use with other fleet management platforms. The standard Vermeer telematics package is free for the first three years with the purchase of a machine and can be extended beyond that for the cost of the cellular service.

Vermeer Corporation, based in Pella, Iowa, serves utility drilling, surface mining and pipeline drilling markets. The company also works in agriculture, biomass and other equipment areas. To learn more, visit vermeer.com.
