Want to know the location of a machine, or a work site’s monthly performance metrics? My Epiroc and HATCON deliver up-to-date information wherever and whenever you need it.
During a recent holiday weekend, a construction site in Brisbane experienced the theft of two Epiroc breakers.
Upon returning to the site, the customer discovered the theft and promptly notified the police and Epiroc’s Brisbane partner.
Utilising the My Epiroc app, the partner swiftly tracked the stolen breakers using the customer’s details or the machine serial numbers.
The app provided real-time tracking information, displaying the breakers’ location and movement from the site to their final hiding place.
Thanks to HATCON’s advanced GPS capabilities, the stolen breakers were recovered the same day, minimising the customer’s downtime and eliminating the need for extensive insurance claims and paperwork.
HATCON (Hydraulic Attachment Tools Connectivity) enables next-level fleet management by monitoring operating hours, location, and service intervals of hydraulic attachment tools.
By logging into My Epiroc on either a computer or phone, users can access all their data and receive notifications when service is due.
This ensures utilisation is evenly distributed, optimises transport, and increases uptime with pre-planned service stops, ultimately boosting efficiency and profitability.
The GPS f8nction also enhances the anti-theft system, as demonstrated in the Brisbane incident.
HATCON’s GPS tracking is just one of its many features.
Standard on all Epiroc MB and HB model hydraulic breakers and Erkat drum cutters (ER100 and above), HATCON also monitors operating hours, service intervals, and generates fault reports via the My Epiroc app. It allows fleet managers to allocate active machines, maintain comprehensive service histories, assign machines to specific sites, and set geofences for individual units.
Additionally, the HATCON 4G Fleet Management Device can be retrofitted to older Epiroc attachments, including smaller SB and EC breakers, silent demolition attachments like combi cutters and pulverisers, and even non-Epiroc breakers, ensuring comprehensive fleet management under a single system.
Epiroc remains committed to innovation, with plans to introduce even more features to the HATCON/My Epiroc fleet management tool in the future.
By adding HATCON to its offerings, Epiroc aims to strengthen businesses and help protect investments.
