AEM and the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) along with a global contingent of heavy equipment manufacturers and fleet managers have agreed on a defined set of asset data that, when communicated remotely via telematics, can be sent to the end user of the equipment.

AEM and AEMP have announced that 19 data points will be part of a standard being developed and maintained by the two Associations and their memberships. In addition, the new standard defines a format that enables OEMs to deliver fault code information as part of the data feed.

A joint news conference with AEM and AEMP to answer questions about telematics and this defined set of data is scheduled for CONEXPO-CON/AGG, Thursday, March 6, at 9:15 a.m., room N252 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The original telematics data standard developed by AEMP will incorporate this new, wider industry standard. Telematics data related to crane operations are excluded from the agreement and possibly other niche products.

Data will be provided to the end user via an Application Program Interface (API) server to server data sharing standard. The data sharing standard will include standardized server to server communication protocols for the transfer of telematics information in mixed equipment fleets to end user business enterprise systems.

These protocols will allow end-users to employ their own business software to collect and analyze asset data from mixed equipment fleets without the need for customization work across multiple telematics provider applications.

Standard and More

This wider standard is just the first step. A developer group will work together on industry-wide integration of the standard, future versions and introduction dates. Another task force will be brought together to set the data transfer/conversion security plans and a governance group will also be assembled.

The governance group’s mission is to provide review and oversight of the telematics connection between fleets, manufacturers and end users system management to ensure adherence to technical specifications. Part of the governance efforts will also include version updates and control of the standard and a certification program for OEM, end users and system management firms.
