Project overview

A Sicilian construction company based in Brolo and working on public, infrastructure and civil projects had two needs to solve in a single platform: protecting high-value work machines often parked in open worksites, and managing the van fleet used to move teams, materials and equipment. The youMove solution combined a wired Car Control System, an independent hidden Ghost device and Sentinel for automatic anomaly response, while company vans used standard fleet tracking with deadline management, telemetry and operating history.

Challenges

Theft of high-value equipment

Excavators, trucks and equipment left in worksite areas represented the highest financial risk: a single theft can block work, contracts and deliveries.

Traditional trackers can be neutralized

A visible GPS device can be found and removed. The company needed redundant protection that could keep transmitting even if the main device was disabled.

Manual response is too slow

Manually checking notifications and suspicious movements gives thieves too much operating time. The company needed a system that could intervene automatically.

Vans and machines on separate tools

Company vans and work machines were managed through different processes, without a single view of location, deadlines, usage and operational responsibility.

youMove solutions

One platform for the full operating fleet

youMove was configured as a single environment for work machines and vans, with features differentiated by risk level and use case.

Single dashboard for owners and operations managers
Dedicated areas for work machines and vans
Operators registered and assignable to vehicles
Deadlines, documents and operating history centralized

Dual-protection IoT technology

Work machines were equipped with two independent devices: a wired main unit and a hidden Ghost device designed to stay active even if tampering occurs.

Car Control System with monitoring and remote engine lock
Automatic Parking Protection when the machine is parked
Hidden Ghost device with independent tracking
Standard Car Tracker for company vans

youMove Sentinel for automatic response

Sentinel monitors vehicle patterns and anomalies, reducing the time between a suspicious event and the manager's reaction.

Detection of out-of-hours movement, jamming and communication loss
Automatic call to the manager within seconds
Contextual push and SMS notifications
Ghost activation when the main device is neutralized

Results achieved

Active 24/7 protection

Critical equipment remains monitored at night, during weekends and when the worksite is unattended.

Continuous alerting

Anti-theft redundancy

If the main tracker is tampered with, the Ghost device keeps transmitting the position.

Second level active

Unified fleet

Work machines and vans now live in the same platform, with processes and data finally centralized.
