In construction job site management, the key to increasing productivity, effectively managing assets and improving profit is communication – between people, between machines. In the construction community, the new buzz is telematics: sending and receiving information via telecommunications. Telematics opens up an entirely new world of communication, from machines to office or even from machine to machine. Topcon’s emergence as a global player in the telematics business is the result of a joint venture with Divitech, a telematics solution provider based in Italy. Telematics will become the decisive factor in job site management in the future. It will bring complete monitoring and control of all phases of every job. Adopting and utilising the best technology for a business will help every operator increase productivity and profitability like never before. Topcon Tierra is a complete internet application that literally puts you in the passenger seat of every single machine on virtually every job site, anywhere in the world. It is a return-on-investment-based solution, guaranteeing each customer measurable time savings in machinery upkeep and repair, in man-hours expended and in increased productivity. The payback is in months, not years.
