- Communications to reliably transfer heater data wirelessly
Benefit from a smarter heat fleet
- Meet increasing demand for connected jobsites and data-driven decision making
- Equipment users are leveraging technology & data to be more productive, safe, and cost effective in their operations
- Specialized labor is increasingly more difficult to get so any technology that will make better use of existing resources is increasingly important
- The global COVID-19 pandemic forced many construction players to use technology which a dynamic that will likely only accelerate
- Improve time utilization
- Address critical failures faster with alerts and location information
- Schedule preventative maintenance based on actual runtime to avoid surprises and costly failures while on rent
- Increase dollar utilization
- Reduce costly, unnecessary field calls
- Reduce costs of expediting service parts with proactive preventative maintenance
- Realize full rental rate more often by:
- Avoiding rate discounts or free days for unplanned disruptions and downtime
- Back rental rates with actual runtime info
- Charge a premium for end-user text alert service

Your view
The L.B. White ONE i3 dashboard allows you to:
- View heater data including GPS location, runtime (hours), heater operation status (on/off), call for heat status (active/not active), fuel flow status (open/closed), and telematic voltage (volts)
- Tailor critical alert recipients
- Setup maintenance alerts.
The platform can be accessed by any internet-connected device including desktop computers, mobile phones, and tablets. One person in your company will be assigned as the administrator that can grant other company users access as needed.
