August 12, 2004
Fremont, California

Ayantra Inc., a Fremont, California-based technology company, announced today that it has released its new MAT 300 series of remote asset management solutions, targeted for organizations seeking to monitor and control valuable out-of-sight assets.

The MAT 300 series represents the company’s third-generation of wireless remote asset management products. Previous versions are in use to monitor private vehicles, bus fleets, and other industrial assets.

The MAT 300 solutions enable equipment owners to easily monitor and control their assets, regardless of location. The MAT 300 solutions provide timely updates regarding each asset’s location, engine run-hours, and other metrics. Asset information is provided via web access, and via alert notifications sent to cell phones and/or email. Target users include Construction Equipment manufacturers and dealers; Equipment Rental companies; and Agriculture Equipment manufacturers and dealers.

The release of the MAT 300 products follows extensive field testing performed in California's central valley and in Canada. Test protocols included extended uninterrupted operation and continuous vibration over a wide variety of conditions, including ambient temperatures ranging from 14 degrees to over 100 degrees F. The industrial engines monitored included John Deere, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and others.

Remote monitoring and control can deliver significant operational advantages to organizations with far-flung assets. Equipment dealers and rental companies appreciate the ability to know, at a glance, the location and engine run-hours of any asset. Key benefits include greater control, an improved ability to schedule maintenance activities, improved customer service, and reductions in manpower.

Agriculture clients also benefit from remote monitoring and control. One test client stated "This technology should help us save a lot of time and money. We won’t have to visit each of our pumps to make sure that they’re all operating properly. And if the monitoring system helps us to avoid even a single catastrophic pump failure, it would pay for itself many times over."
