Sinoboom i-Link

Sinoboom has launched Sinoboom i-Link, its own telematics system designed to provide digital information for the management of its equipment.

The system combines connectivity, monitoring, remote control, standardised APIs (Application Programming Interface), and functions from the company’s customer service management platform.

The Telematics Box (T-Box) gathers equipment data from multiple locations and can collect information from multiple parts of a machine at once, it works with both Modbus - a widely used equipment communication protocol - and J1939 protocols, a standard communication system that lets different electronic parts of machinery share information.

The platform allows remote control of certain machine functions and provides information on fleet usage, machine status and asset location. Features include remote lock, GPS tracking and remote diagnostics with maintenance schedules also managed through automated reminders.

i-Link provides utilisation and failure data and enables remote firmware updates, as well as using AI for predictive fault alerts and maintenance guidance.

Ben Xie, head of the Sinoboom’s Intelligent Research Institute, said: “The entire Sinoboom i-Link system has been developed with the fleet manager at the front of mind and empowered by AI technology (Sinoboom Star-Key AI engine).”

“We asked ourselves, and our customers, what the key features a telematics system needs to include to make work platform ownership and rental as smooth as possible. From real time visibility and utilisation insights to remote machine control, diagnostics, and intelligent fleet management. i-Link is designed as a scalable, future ready platform that helps customers improve uptime, reduce operating costs, and stay fully in control of their fleets.”
