The award-winning Titan Equipment Monitoring System combines the Internet, international cellular and global positioning system (GPS) technologies in a rugged metal hardware unit to deliver a powerful solution for remote asset management, monitoring and theft protection. Data collected from the Titan is accessible anywhere in the world via an easy to use, password protected Web based application and can be integrated into customer back end software packages.
Other advantages of the Titan system include the ability for engine hours, machine performance, idle time and productivity data to be reported on demand, at automated intervals and delivered by regularly scheduled e-mail reports. Multiple service counters, with past due alerts, and notification of a threatening condition on the asset help keep maintenance and repair costs to a minimum. In addition to real-time locating and remote disable capabilities, theft protection is executed through user-defined curfews of non-operation, perimeter alerts, speed alerts and a homing beacon function — all of which notify the owner instantly via e-mail and cell phone. Both Hyundai dealers and their customers with over-the-road assets will experience reduced fuel and service costs with increased driver productivity and accountability through the universal Titan System monitoring their on-road vehicles.
