Integrated App Provides Real-Time Data on Filter Status
MINNEAPOLIS (October 30, 2019) – Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) announced today that its wireless Filter Minder® monitoring system for truck air filters will be integrated into Geotab’s fleet management platform. Filter Minder technology monitors the condition of truck engine air filters – and integrating this technology into the MyGeotab platform gives fleet managers enhanced visibility into the status of their engine air filtration system – helping them to save money with optimized filtration maintenance.
Filter Minder is the first wireless remote filter monitoring system for trucks and heavy-duty equipment. Donaldson is field testing the solution today, and the integration with Geotab supports a commercial launch of the Filter Minder solution in 2020. Geotab, a global leader in IoT and connected transportation, is one of the most widely used fleet telematics systems in North America, managing more than 450,000 class 6, 7 and 8 trucks across the continent.
“We set out to offer a really simple solution for fleet managers,” said Nate Zambon, director of the Filter Minder division of Donaldson. “By integrating our Filter Minder solution into the Geotab platform, fleets that use MyGeotab can receive Donaldson’s comprehensive filter analytics along with all other fleet data on their laptop or mobile device. It will be easy to monitor air filters on individual trucks or fleet-wide, and service them at the optimal time.”
“Geotab is proud to have the capability to integrate our open platform technology with incredibly dynamic partners, such as Donaldson,” said Scott Sutarik, vice president of Commercial Vehicle Solutions at Geotab. “We strongly believe that the future of maintenance revolves around connected solutions, such as Filter Minder, which provide value to our customers through improved fuel efficiency, decreased filter costs and increased overall truck uptime.”
