Data can now be collected on the usage of Stihl products.
Customers can view the power tool data for their power tools and use that information as a basis to improve their daily work processes. The three central system components are as below:
- The Smart Connector is easy to install and transmits the most important power tool data via Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet. The Smart Connector can be attached to petrol-driven, electric, and cordless products, enabling it to deliver important information about your Stihl power tool via Bluetooth® 4.2. The Smart Connector offers entirely new functions and services, as a basis for device management both in your home garden using the Stihl app, and for managing your machine fleet using the Stihl connect pro portal.
- With the Stihl app you can easily keep the overview of your machines. Amongst others, you can use the app to access your machines usage data as well as to be reminded of overdue maintenances.
- The Stihl connect pro portal offers an overview of your entire machine fleet. Amongst others, it can show you where a machine was most recently in use while connected to a smartphone. At the same time, you can also see a clear representation of the maintenance schedule, to enable optimum management of your machine fleet. Before, during and after each professional use, one can achieve a better overview of work with the extended functions offered by the free-of-charge Stihl connect pro portal. Comprehensive digital fleet management creates reliability of planning, reduces maintenance times, and ensures efficient coordination and management of your power tools. Source
