\nMonitoring with IoT<\/h2>\n

Machine idling, where a machine\u2019s engine is running but the machine is not actively in use, accounts for an estimated 37% of the time a construction machine is operating. IoT sensors allow real-time monitoring of the fleet\u2019s efficiency. Steve Rogerson writes<\/a> about how UK telematics firm MachineMax is using Semtech\u2019s LoRa technology to provide tracking and monitoring in smart construction machines.<\/p>\n
