Trimble introduced the Trimble SNM451 Connected Site Gateway, a ruggedized telematics device for tracking and managing the efficiency of site assets, light equipment and haul vehicles in Trimble's Web-based VisionLink fleet, asset and site productivity management solution.

Coupled with VisionLink version 2.10, the low-cost SNM451 provides project owners, fleet managers and equipment rental companies the critical information they need to more effectively allocate resources and improve the productivity of their mixed fleet, according to the company.

The Trimble SNM451 acts as a liaison between the job site and the office, communicating asset location, run time, cycle time and load count information via cellular connection as often as once a minute. Equipment status, including engine on and equipment location, helps the contractor monitor work status and performance. Fleet managers and other stakeholders can stay connected to their assets from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone even when they are not physically on site.

In addition to its reporting features, Trimble said the SNM451 is designed to be extremely rugged and easy to maintain for installation in harsh work environments.

The Trimble SNM451 Connected Site Gateway and VisionLink version 2.10 are available through the Trimble SITECH Technology Dealer Channel in North America, Europe, and Australia.
