Common uses

In Infobric Machines, you can:

  • view machines and places on the map

  • search for and open a machine

  • follow machine usage by week or month

  • follow estimated fuel consumption and calculated CO₂ emissions

  • download or schedule reports

  • view machine details, service history, inputs and telematics


Requirements

You need to:

  • have an activated Infobric Machines user account

  • be able to sign in to the web platform

  • have access to your company's Machines account

Owners and Administrators see the same main menu. Users do not have the Alerts or Administrator menu options.

For companies without data, the interface looks the same, but the tabs do not contain any data.

To display results in the reports, the machines must send the data used by the relevant report.


Get started

Find and open a machine

  1. Sign in to Infobric Machines on the web.

  2. You arrive at Home, where the map shows machines and places.

  3. Use the search field or Filter to find a specific machine or place on the map.

  4. Select Fleet in the main menu to open the machine overview.

  5. Enter the machine's name in the Search... field.

  6. Select the machine in the list to open its machine card.

  7. Select the Details tab to view the machine's basic information.

Open the reports

  1. Select Analytics in the main menu.

  2. Select Machine usage to follow how your machines have been used.

  3. Select CO₂ report to follow estimated fuel consumption and calculated CO₂ emissions.

Both reports can be displayed by week or month. You can also download reports or schedule recurring deliveries.


What you can do in Machines

View machines and places on the map

Home provides a geographical overview of machines and places. You can search, filter and switch between map and satellite views.

The map positions are based on the latest information received and may not show each machine's position in real time.

Follow machine usage and CO₂

In Machine usage, you can review usage by week or month, compare machines, and see information such as usage outside working hours, overuse and unused machines.

In the CO₂ report, you can follow estimated fuel consumption and calculated CO₂ emissions. The report uses the machine's recorded usage, fuel type and specified fuel consumption in litres per hour.

The CO₂ report currently supports machines connected with an Infobric Vehicle Tracker.

Download or schedule reports

In both Machine usage and the CO₂ report, you can select machines and then select Generate report.

You can:

  • download a report for the selected machines

  • select Include machines without data if all selected machines should be included

  • include detailed usage per machine

  • schedule the report weekly or monthly

Open My reports to view the reports you have scheduled.

Find a machine

Under Fleet, the machines are shown in a list. The information can include name, internal ID, tag, category, home depot, place, battery level and telematics status.

Use the search field, Filter or Columns to adjust the list.

Open the machine card

When you select a machine, its machine card opens. It contains the following tabs:

  • Details

  • Service

  • History

  • Inputs

  • Telematics

  • Events

Under Details, you can view information such as identification, machine information, emissions and time information, place and tags.

Machines may remember the tab you used last. Select Details if the machine card opens on another tab.

Find other features

All roles see Home, Fleet, Places, Telematics, Analytics and Service in the main menu.

Owners and Administrators also see Alerts and Administrator. Under Administrator, they can perform tasks such as managing users.


Tips!

  • Start under Analytics when you want to follow several machines over time or create reports.

  • If the search returns no results, Nothing matched your search is displayed. Select Reset search and try again.

  • Use Filter to narrow down the map or machine list.

  • Fuel consumption in the CO₂ report is estimated, and the CO₂ figures are calculated rather than measured directly.
