Hitachi Solution Linkage Connect: A fleet management system for the future

Written By Alex Klocek

Hitachi Construction Machinery has introduced a cutting-edge fleet management system called Solution Linkage (SL) Connect. Tailored for mid to large-sized construction companies, SL Connect enhances operational efficiency by providing comprehensive real-time data access and management features. This system represents a new era in construction technology, focusing on improving resource utilization, reducing downtime, and supporting sustainability efforts.

How Solution Linkage Connect works

At its core, Solution Linkage Connect is designed to simplify the complex task of managing fleets spread across multiple worksites. By aggregating data from all Hitachi machines, users can view and manage machine operations from any device—a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The user-friendly interface allows easy access to operational data, alarms, and geofencing details.

This innovative platform utilizes the latest open-source technologies, ensuring scalability and adaptability for different construction environments. Initially developed for Hitachi machinery, the system is also expected to support equipment from other manufacturers, making it a future-proof solution for companies managing mixed fleets.

Key features of Solution Linkage Connect

  • Real-time machine monitoring: View machine status, operating hours, and alerts from anywhere in real-time.
  • Geofencing capabilities: Create geofences around specific worksites to easily monitor and manage operations within those areas.
  • Environmental tracking: Monitor fuel consumption and CO2 emissions to help companies meet sustainability goals.
  • Remote diagnostics: Access alarm information and troubleshoot issues remotely to minimize machine downtime.
  • Seamless integration: Integrates with Hitachi’s ConSite, Parts Catalog, and Owner’s Site for a complete fleet management experience.
  • Custom reports: Generate detailed reports on machine performance, alarms, and environmental impact with just a few clicks.

Enhanced geofencing and integration

One of the standout features of Solution Linkage Connect is its geofencing functionality. This allows site managers to define worksite boundaries and categorize machines based on their operational status. Project managers can then track machine fuel consumption, performance, and downtime within these geofenced areas. This not only improves resource management but also keeps projects on schedule.

Final thoughts

With its combination of real-time monitoring, advanced geofencing, and integration with Hitachi’s existing platforms, Solution Linkage Connect is a great option for medium to large-sized construction companies looking to enhance their management systems. The software improves operational efficiency and supports sustainability efforts by tracking environmental impact, making it a valuable tool for construction companies aiming to modernize their operations​.
