Collects Asset-Management Data for a Construction Company’s Heavy Equipment
Dexter + Chaney (http://www.dexterchaney.com) will exhibit its new Spectrum™ Equipment Service System at World of Concrete/Technology for Construction February 2-5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (booth #C4469). Spectrum Equipment Service System electronically collects asset-management data for a construction company’s heavy equipment, including equipment hours, fuel usage and maintenance.
“Spectrum Equipment Service System is an answer to the critical problem of recording accurate equipment hours,” said John Chaney, Dexter + Chaney president and co-founder. “It eliminates the time and hassle of manual data collection that results in inaccurate and unreliable asset-management information. By gathering equipment hours electronically, the company can seize control of operating costs, generate a higher return on its equipment investment and increase over-all company profitability.”
Spectrum Equipment Service System includes three main components: Equipment Monitor, Field Master touch screen device and Fuel Controller. The Field Master—mounted in a fuel truck or service vehicle—uses a built-in cellular modem to relay equipment hours, fuel usage, maintenance and other data to Dexter + Chaney’s Spectrum® Construction Software. That gives the company easy access to equipment-related information in Spectrum for improved equipment costing and management.
