This is how digitalization works in specialist foundation engineering

Bauer Spezialtiefbau, part of the internationally active Bauer Group, is one of the world's leading companies in specialist foundation engineering. With highly specialized machines such as drilling rigs, diaphragm wall machines and grab systems, Bauer Spezialtiefbau implements complex large-scale projects in infrastructure, building and civil engineering, consistently relying on digitalization and efficiency.

Everything depends on devices

Bauer uses an OEM telematics solution for its own machines, which, according to a press release, is perfectly tailored to the systems. However, purchased machines – such as drilling machines, service cranes and small machines – are also used on the numerous international construction sites. These change the construction site at irregular intervals and are indispensable for smooth construction site operations.
The challenge: These third-party machines must also be reliably monitored, used and billed - with the same transparency and efficiency as your own devices.

With Rosenberger Telematics, Bauer Spezialtiefbau has found the ideal partner so that there are no compromises when it comes to third-party machines. Retrofitting is quick and easy with the robust standard product Robusto, which is ready for immediate use and records all relevant data directly on site. According to a press release, you always have an overview of which construction site which machine has been standing for how long - crucial information for minimizing downtimes and optimally planning the use of machines.

Data hub as the heart

The heart of the solution is the Commander - an intelligent data hub that centrally bundles and interprets all machine information. According to the broadcast, operating hours, locations and utilization are precisely recorded and automatically fed into Bauer's ERP system via an interface. Exact and comprehensible billing is essential, especially for machines that are rented within the company group. This seamless process saves time, reduces costs and increases transparency.

Today, the telematics systems from Rosenberger Telematics are in use on Bauer Spezialtiefbau construction sites worldwide - from Europe to Asia to North America. The combination of OEM and retrofit telematics creates a uniform database that significantly improves processes, reduces costs and increases security.
"With the retrofit telematics from Rosenberger Telematics, we have full control over our entire machine fleet - regardless of whether we own our own or purchased equipment. It is particularly important for us to know exactly how long each machine has been in use on which construction site at all times. This transparency allows us to control its use efficiently and significantly reduce downtimes," says Werner Korherr from Maschinentechnik.

Special foundation engineering shows that digitalization is not a question of the origin of a machine, but of the right technology, according to the broadcast. Rosenberger Telematics delivers a flexible, reliable and cost-efficient solution.
