Overview

GPS Tracking for Construction & Mining

Track heavy equipment, vehicles, and machinery across construction sites. Prevent theft, optimize equipment utilization.

Key terms:

Telematics
Technology that monitors vehicles via GPS, cellular networks, and sensors for real-time location and operational data.
GPS tracking
Real-time location monitoring of vehicles using satellite and cellular networks for fleet visibility.
Fleet management
Systems and processes to manage commercial vehicle operations, including tracking, maintenance, and driver behaviour.

Construction and mining operations run on expensive, mobile assets—excavators, dumpers, loaders, and trucks—often spread across remote sites. Theft, unauthorized use, fuel pilferage, and poor utilization cost companies crores every year. Pictor Telematics provides rugged GPS tracking solutions built for harsh environments: dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures.\n\nOur devices monitor location, engine hours, and fuel levels. Geofencing alerts you when equipment moves outside approved zones—critical for theft prevention at night and on weekends. Fuel sensors detect drain events and unauthorized refills. Utilization reports show which machines are idle versus working, helping you right-size your fleet and schedule maintenance.\n\nWe support both vehicles and non-powered assets (trailers, generators) with battery and solar-powered options for remote sites. With commercial deployments operating since 2014 across India, we understand site conditions, connectivity challenges, and the need for simple, durable technology that just works.

Before starting a pilot

  • Define the top operational issue you want to solve first.
  • Select measurable KPIs for a 30-60 day review window.
  • Confirm device fit, installation constraints, and integration expectations.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GPS tracking and telematics for construction & mining. View all FAQs.

Yes. We offer rugged devices suitable for excavators, dumpers, loaders, and other heavy equipment. Installation can be wired (power from battery) or battery/solar for non-powered assets.
You define geofences around your sites. If equipment moves outside these zones—especially outside working hours—you receive an instant alert. This enables quick response and often deters theft.
Yes. We use 4G connectivity that works wherever cellular coverage exists. For areas with weak coverage, we offer devices with extended reporting intervals. Battery/solar options suit locations without vehicle power.
Yes. Ultrasonic fuel sensors integrate with our GPS devices to track fuel levels. We detect drain events, unauthorized refills, and consumption anomalies. Reports help identify pilferage and inefficient machines.
Reports show engine hours, idle time, and working hours per machine. You can identify underused equipment (candidates for sale or lease) and overworked units (maintenance priority). This optimizes capex and reduces downtime.
Wired installation on vehicles takes 1–2 hours. Battery-powered trackers for non-powered assets can be deployed in 30 minutes. We have technicians who work on-site across India.
Yes. Our platform supports multiple geofences and sites. View all equipment on a single map or filter by site. Alerts are configurable per zone.
Our devices include tamper detection. If the unit is disconnected or moved improperly, you receive an alert. Installation in hidden locations further deters tampering.
Yes. We have battery-powered GPS trackers for trailers, generators, and other non-powered assets. Solar options extend battery life for long-term deployment.
Our trip and movement reports provide audit trails for fuel usage, driver hours, and vehicle deployment. These support internal compliance and client reporting for project-based work.
