A U.S.-based manufacturer of specialized asphalt road construction and maintenance equipment was embarking on a digital transformation journey. The program aimed to better manage their distributed fleet of chip spreaders and asphalt distributors — machines operating in remote, high-variability environments, often far from the nearest service hubs.
Diagnosing equipment typically required engineers to travel to job sites — even for minor faults — leading to avoidable costs, delays, and operational inefficiencies. The client had begun outlining a digital roadmap but needed a clear approach to:
- Identify the right sensor and data strategy for connected equipment,
- Establish a secure, scalable platform to collect and manage machine data,
- Avoid limitations of vendor-controlled telematics environments where data resided outside their control, and
- Enable remote visibility into equipment health, usage, and performance across geographically dispersed deployments
They needed an engineering partner who could architect a flexible telematics solution aligned to their product ecosystem — not a one-size-fits-all platform.
LTTS partnered with the client to design and implement a customized telematics architecture enabling real-time operational visibility while ensuring full ownership of the data environment.
