Capture fleet management: Efficient and intuitive management of machines, devices and assets

In a world where technology plays a crucial role in business operations, Vintecc's IoT platform Capture provides a turnkey solution to efficiently organise and manage a fleet of devices and assets, regardless of their location in the world. In this blog, we discuss the benefits, features and applications of remote access fleet management.

1. Organise and manage your fleet

With Vintecc's IoT platform, you can easily organise and manage your fleet of devices or machines across all projects. This means not only an overview, but also control over the status and operation of each device within the fleet. Data configuration, dashboarding, automated alerting rules are managed centrally and can be rolled out across an entire machine fleet at the push of a button.

Benefits of fleet management

  1. Onboarding and offboarding: Manage the onboarding and offboarding of devices quickly, easily and intuitively. Link devices immediately to the right company and the necessary users. And this in just a few minutes.
  2. Cloud device manager: Configure edge devices remotely at the touch of a button; the device manager does the rest. This allows settings and adjustments to be made without having to be on site. Time-saving and efficient!
  3. Fleet monitoring: Connect all your smart devices on one central and scalable platform and group them as desired. Manage dashboards, reports and alerting rules centrally and roll them out across the whole fleet. Also put your assets on a map for fast localisation. In other words: get a quick insight into the state of your fleet and take action where necessary.

2. Easy onboarding and offboarding of devices

One of the most time-consuming tasks in managing a large number of devices is their onboarding and offboarding. Vintecc's IoT platform makes this process quick, easy and intuitive.

Onboarding process

  • Automatic detection: New devices can be automatically detected and added to the fleet.
  • Configuration: Quickly set basic configurations and link them to the right users and companies, whether or not in connection with your ERP package.
  • Verification: Verify the correct operation of new devices before they are fully operational.

Offboarding process

  • Device removal: Easily remove devices from the network when they are no longer needed.
  • Data archiving: Archive or destroy important data from offboarded devices, depending on the customer.
  • User management: Ensure user rights and access are correctly updated when devices are removed.

Benefits of easy onboarding and offboarding

  • Time efficiency: Save time by adding and removing devices quickly and efficiently.
  • Ease of use: An intuitive interface makes the process easy, even for non-technical users.
  • Flexibility: Adapt updates to your organisation's device needs quickly.

3. Reduce downtime, increase uptime

One of the biggest advantages of fleet management via remote connectivity is the ability to detect and resolve problems remotely. This significantly reduces your customer's downtime and eliminates the need to invariably send out a technician. This not only saves time, but also costs associated with physical maintenance visits.

Steps to solve remote problems

  • Problem Detection:Use the IoT platform to receive real-time alarms and reports with accurate and up-to-date status of the machine.
  • Diagnosis: Analyse data and diagnose the problem remotely.
  • Solution: Make necessary adjustments via the IoT platform.
  • Monitoring: Keep a finger on the pulse: keep monitoring the status of the device to ensure the problem is fully resolved.

4. Use cases of remote connectivity and fleet management

  • Industrial machinery
    • For companies working with a large number of industrial machines, remote connectivity provides a way to effectively monitor and manage these devices. By performing software updates and troubleshooting remotely, productivity can be maximised and downtime minimised.
  • Consumer products
    • In the world of consumer products, such as smart appliances and home electronics, remote connectivity offers enormous added value. Think of a manufacturer of smart thermostats or security systems that needs to manage hundreds or even thousands of devices in homes around the world. With Vintecc's IoT platform, these companies can connect and manage these devices as needed without the consumer having to take action.
  • Transport & logistics
    • For companies in the transport and logistics sector, remote connectivity makes it possible to manage a fleet of vehicles and equipment, even if they are in different locations. Think not only of trucks, but also bulldozers, cranes or aerial work platforms. This improves fleet management efficiency and ensures that all vehicles and equipment remain operational.
  • Agricultural Sector
    • In the agricultural sector, it is crucial to efficiently manage and optimise agricultural machinery and equipment. Capture provides the ability to collect and analyse data from tractors, harvesters and other agricultural equipment. This helps farmers optimise operations and solve problems quickly.
  • Energy and Utilities
    • For energy and utility companies, remote connectivity and fleet management offers a way to efficiently manage critical infrastructure and equipment. This can lead to significant improvements in reliability and operational efficiency. Capture enables real-time collection and analysis of data from sensors, meters and other devices. This helps companies improve efficiency, reduce costs and ensure the reliability of their services.


Vintecc's IoT platform Capture offers an innovative and efficient fleet management solution via remote connectivity. With the ability to connect and monitor devices remotely and resolve problems quickly, companies can streamline operations and save costs. Whether you work in the industrial sector, consumer sector or transport, remote connectivity and fleet management can optimise and improve your operations.
