Keep remote workers safe through an in-vehicle IoT hub

Resources exploration and extraction often means workers isolated in some of the harshest conditions in Australia. By installing Geotab’s GPS tracking devices and extending this to include a satellite modem, you can include safety features such as in-vehicle duress alarms on man-down safety pendants. Geotab’s unique platform also has rollover detection and automated alerts to inform search and rescue when help is needed.

Driver safety anywhere, anytime

Workers in the resources sector travel long distances in remote Australia, tempting risky behaviours. Monitor harsh acceleration, turning and braking, as well as four-wheel drive and seat belt use and speeding. Generate driver safety scorecards or automated alerts for unsafe practice to get your team home safe.

Extend the solution with driver identification

Geotab’s vehicle trackers can include a driver ID module. Using a near-field communication (NFC) tag, the driver identifies themself to the vehicle and to your reports. Know who is using your fleet and when to improve safety and fleet productivity.

Commonly asked questions

Geotab helps companies in the resources sector to measure the performance of their fleet vehicles and equipment, and monitor their location in real time. The Geotab GO device identifies maintenance requirements early, which reduces downtime. It can monitor lone workers in the field via GPS, and receive real-time alerts if they, or their vehicle are in distress. The GO RUGGED devices are especially resilient, and effective at tracking heavy equipment and trailers. 

Oil, gas and mining companies that have vehicles and equipment operating in harsh environments can use the Geotab GO RUGGED device to track and monitor location, driver behavior, vehicle health and fuel usage for heavy-duty transport trucks, trailers, containers, generators and other movable assets.

Vehicles and equipment in this industry operate in very harsh, remote conditions, and need to be tracked and monitored accordingly. They require preventative maintenance to maximise their performance and productivity. Companies in these industries need to ensure their drivers are driving safely, they aren’t exceeding their assigned work schedules, and aren’t driving outside of their designated territory.  

 

Geotab telematics solutions address all of these challenges with rugged, GPS-enabled devices and critical insights. Geotab GO devices can identify where vehicles and equipment are, and if they require any maintenance or repairs. 

Geotab telematics solutions enable companies in the resources sector to monitor the health, location and performance of their vehicles and equipment in real-time, and from a distance. GO RUGGED devices are reliable and resistant to wear and tear.  

 

Other benefits include: 

  • Geotab Keyless Bluetooth and cell commands ensure that vehicles are locked at night, and are accessible to all authorized drivers. 
  • Open data integration platform for insights on vehicle and equipment productivity and performance. 
  • The MyGeotab portal collects and retains data for driver safety scorecards. 
  • Monitor engine hours, fuel usage and idling trends

The Geotab GO device is compatible with many different cars, trucks and vans, including gas-powered and electric vehicles. Fleet managers can track passenger vehicles, EVs, heavy-duty trucks, farm machinery, earth moving equipment, quarrying equipment, powered trailers and much more together on their MyGeotab fleet management software dashboard.

Thanks to fleet monitoring, you can optimise your services and use our maintenance software to avoid major breakdowns and save on repair costs. 

By constantly monitoring construction fleets even in no-coverage areas, so that you can ensure the safety of fleets and your drivers, and by alerting the personal safety system of unaccompanied workers, so that you can monitor workers via GPS and receive notifications if they are in danger.  

Solutions for oil, gas and mining companies include IOX technology, which allows you to include alert buttons, adaptors and harnesses for various vehicle models, and the option to include GoTalk for easy driver communication and asset tracking, which allows you to easily track vehicles belonging to the oil companies' fleet.
