Hilti, a provider of tools, technology, software and services to the construction industry, has enhanced its ON!Track tool and asset tracking offering making it easier to manage businesses, assets and jobsites.

As an IoT platform, ON!Track 3.0 is software that provides instant clarity and efficiency to the business, while helping reduce operational and overhead costs.

“Through the changes in technology and listening to the feedback from our customers, we have improved ON!Track in every area,” said Thibaud Lefebvre, director of marketing tool services for Hilti in North America. “Our customers will experience an integrated cloud-based solution that provides a new level of control and access to information. We’re putting more data-driven insights in their hands so they can make better, safer decisions.”

With Liechtenstein-based Hilti’s smart sensor tags and proactive tracking gateways, construction professionals have access to continuous and reliable tracking of all tagged assets in warehouses and containers. The enhanced sensor tags will deliver transparency on how, when and where assets are used, while the proactive tracking gateways enable remote inventory checks and automated reporting.

The system was also improved to track and manage tool accessories better, which simplifies the management of stocks and supplies.

Hilti has also upgraded ON!Track 3.0 to help strengthen the control of costs and expenses. Users can manage jobsite asset costs with cost reporting they customise by specific asset, job and time. By setting up a daily cost per asset, construction companies can run a costing report for any date range and find out what the cost of their assets are at any location.

Additionally, the connected system was advanced to support one the most critical functions of construction businesses. Workers can easily access service, maintenance and certification records and set alerts on their mobile device to help them stay compliant.

“There’s no question that construction is a uniquely document-intensive industry,” said Lefebvre. “Our customers want instant access to documentation. Now they can pull that up from their phone and show whoever might need to see it that they are compliant.”

The software is only part of the tool and asset tracking. Hilti also offers implementation, training and support to its customers in their process of digitising the management of their equipment. In the last five years, Hilti in North America has project-managed more than 2000 ON!Track implementations. 

Generation 3.0 is available now throughout the USA and Canada.
