Teltonika FMC920
The FMC920 serves as a universal telematics solution for sites deploying both commercial transport trucks (tippers, flatbeds, superlinks) and heavy yellow plant machinery (TLBs, excavators, front-end loaders). It bridges the operational gap between logistics and on-site earthmoving.
- Anti-Theft & Remote Immobilization: If a transport truck deviates from its highway route or a yellow-metal machine is started outside of site operating hours, an instant geofence alert is triggered. Fleet controllers can send a secure remote command to activate the digital output, killing the starter motor circuit via an inline relay to freeze the asset safely at its next stop.
- Tamper-Resistant Backup Power: High-vibration site conditions and professional theft rings present severe power-cut risks. The device handles the voltage surges of heavy-duty alternators, and if a thief cuts the asset's main battery cables, the internal 170 mAh backup battery instantly sends a "Main Power Disconnected" alarm while continuing to broadcast live tracking coordinates.
- Logistics Driver Behavior vs. Site Safety: On the road, the built-in 3-axis accelerometer monitors truck drivers for harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and cornering to reduce tire wear and fuel usage. On construction or mining sites, this same accelerometer detects high-impact structural collisions or equipment rollovers, instantly flagging operator safety issues.
- Automated Maintenance & Billing Logs: For yellow plant machinery, mapping the digital input directly to the engine ignition calculates precise operating hours instead of simple calendar time. This automates the scheduling of critical preventative maintenance intervals (e.g., every 250 engine hours) and generates accurate machine-hour billing reports for site hires. [1]
- Wireless Sensor Ecosystem: Running extensive wiring along a truck chassis or an excavator's articulated arm is highly vulnerable to physical damage. The FMC920 utilizes Bluetooth LE to connect wirelessly to external fuel-level rods to catch diesel theft, and to driver ID proximity tags to ensure only certified operators can turn on heavy machinery.

Truck & Plant Hire Simplified
How It Works.
Clients browse the centralized digital inventory of trucks, logistics fleets, and yellow plant machinery. The platform accommodates both short-term project rentals and long-term industrial leases:
- Logistics & Freight: Options include Tipper Trucks, Side Tippers, and Lowbeds to secure specific cargo routes.
- Construction Yellow Plant: Earthmoving, lifting, and road construction machinery such as Excavators, Graders, Rollers, and Telehandlers.
- Mining Operations: Heavy-duty machinery for load-and-haul operations, engineering, crushing, or screening.
Once the client selects the necessary equipment or defines their transit lanes, they submit a detailed operational brief:
- Asset Booking: Select the equipment, specify rental duration, and request day a quotaion.
- Route RFQs: For cargo movements, clients publish their required routes, cargo volume parameters, and timeframes.
Acemec Fleets digital tendering system broadcasts the client's request directly to its network of 100+ vetted transport companies and thousands of registered assets.
- Approved, compliant vendors submit competitive quotes based on their available fleet capacity.
- Acemec's system filters bids transparently based on asset compliance, operational suitability, and competitive pricing to present optimal fulfillment choices.
To protect both the client and the subcontractor, Acemec utilizes a strict escrow payment architecture.
- Before any asset is dispatched, the client deposits the contract funds securely into an escrow account.
- Capital is held safely and is only released to the working vendor in stages based on verified milestone achievements (e.g., initial pickup, mid-route transit, final delivery).
Once funded, the booking moves into automated dispatch and execution managed by the Acemec Fleet team:
- Live Telematics Visibility: Every dispatched vehicle utilizes active GPS tracking, e-locks, and geofenced route boundaries to provide real-time location monitoring.
- Digital Proof-of-Delivery (POD): Drivers utilize specialized driver apps to upload digital signatures and completion paperwork directly upon arrival.
- Milestone Triggers: The digital upload of the flawless POD automatically triggers the final escrow fund release to settle the vendor invoice.
