The company said it is building on a recent M2M trial which it said enabled a \u2018zero touch\u2019 remote download of performance diagnostic data from more than 700 pieces of its equipment on mine sites.<\/p>\n<p>The company said being able to access and analyse the data from inSite Centre in Sydney in real-time removed the need to take the equipment out of the field to download data, resulting in improved fleet and production efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the beginning of our cloud journey with Telstra, the focus has been on giving more time back to the business so we can innovate and adapt, and not worry about IT. This new agreement will be an extension of our collaborative relationship and will ensure we continue to lead our category within the mining sector,\u201d said Ian Harvison, chief information officer at Komatsu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTelstra understands where we\u2019ve come from and more importantly where we want to take our business, and we feel very confident that our technology and business is future proofed to allow us to compete in a continually evolving and competitive landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sean Taylor, Komatsu Australia\u2019s managing director and chief executive said: \u201cWe\u2019re committed to business innovation and staying one step ahead of our customer\u2019s needs \u2013 and it\u2019s only through relationships with key partners like Telstra that this is possible. We\u2019re excited about the next phase in our ICT strategy and look forward to many more years of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telstra inked a deal with mining and construction equipment provider Komatsu to help the company deploy and manage its ICT and IoT strategy over the next three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2698,1989,893,2699,2202,2700,1976],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diagnostics","category-enterprise-it","category-internet-of-things","category-komatsu","category-m2m","category-mining","category-news-analysis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14963"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14964,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14963\/revisions\/14964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
