How it works
Idle time is recorded when the engine runs but the machine is not working, based on ignition, movement and, where available, engine or hydraulic data.
← Construction Equipment Intelligence
Idle Time Monitoring
Find the hours machines spend running without working, often the biggest hidden fuel and wear cost on a construction site.
What it does
- Idle hours per machine and operator
- Alerts for long idling
- Fuel burned while idling where measured
- Idle ranking across sites
- Daily idle summaries for site managers
- Trend reports after corrective action
Why it matters
- Lower fuel spend on site
- Less engine wear and service cost
- Clear targets for operators
- Measurable improvement over time
Good to know
Some idling is unavoidable, for example warm-up or air conditioning in extreme heat, so thresholds are set to flag only excessive idling.

Common question
Can operators be identified? Yes, with operator identification on the machine, idle time can be reported per operator.
