Connected site operations
The Aether IoT Ecosystem
Connect your machines, fuel, power and people. Understand what is happening across your site.
Aether turns data from connected devices into clear dashboards, alerts and reports. Your team can track equipment location and use, monitor fuel consumption and energy generation or consumption, and see which workers are present in monitored areas.
- 01 · FleetWhere are my machines?See location and machine use
- 02 · FuelWhere is my fuel consumed?Check fuel use and unusual drops
- 03 · EnergyHow much power do we use?Monitor generation and consumption
- 04 · Workforce and equipmentWho and what was detected?View presence in monitored zones
Four connected solutions
What connected site data can tell you.
Fleet tracking and fuel monitoring can work together on the same vehicle or machine. Energy and workforce monitoring use suitable meters, tags and gateways elsewhere on the site.
Fleet management
Where are my machines, and are they being used?
See location, movement, operating hours and idle time. A tracker on dumpers, excavators and other vehicles helps site teams compare machine activity with shift records and vendor claims.
IoT tracker on each vehicle or machine- Live location, routes and entry or exit from a virtual boundary (geofence)
- Distance travelled, engine operating hours (HMR) and idle time
- Recorded activity to check logsheets and vendor bills
IoT tracker on the fleet
Fuel management
Where is my fuel consumed?
Check fuel added, fuel used and unusual drops against machine activity. A fuel-level sensor (LLS) connected to a tracked machine helps your team review tank readings alongside distance, engine hours, ignition and movement.
Fleet tracker + fuel-level sensor- Verify refuelling time and estimated volume
- Review fuel consumption per KM or engine hour
- Investigate draining, mismatches and unusual drops
Fleet IoT + LLS sensor
Energy monitoring
How much energy are we producing or consuming?
Monitor generator output and energy use across equipment or panels. An energy meter connected through a gateway—a device that collects and sends readings—shows the load and energy generated by a diesel generator (DG set), or the power measured at a panel. A fuel-level sensor on a compatible DG tank can also show tank-level changes for comparison.
IoT gateway + energy meter; add LLS to a compatible DG tank- Track DG output and load in kWh and kW
- Compare DG tank-level changes with measured power output
- Investigate unusual drops; a running DG can use fuel even at low electrical load
IoT + energy meter
Workforce and equipment monitoring
Who and what was detected in each work zone?
View worker presence and the last-seen zones of tagged equipment. Small Bluetooth identification tags (BLE beacons) carried by workers or attached to portable equipment are detected by gateways in monitored work zones.
Bluetooth tags + zone gateways- Present or absent status and first-in, last-out times
- Zone entry, exit and duration history
- Presence records for audits and emergency headcounts
BLE beacons + zone gateway
Hardware to practical use
What you connect—and what it helps you check.
Choose the setup for the part of your site you need to manage. Fuel can be monitored alongside fleet activity, or alongside DG power when a fuel sensor is fitted to the DG tank.
| IoT setup | Example assets | How you use the hardware | What your team can check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 IoT tracker | Earthmoving: Backhoe loader, wheel loader, dozerHauling & transport: Tipper, dumper, transit mixer, conveyance vehicle, trailerLifting & handling: Crane, boom lift, forklift, telehandlerSpecialist equipment: Piling rig, concrete boom pump, compactor | Fit an IoT tracker to the vehicle or machine. | Location and movement; engine hours and idle time where available, to review utilisation and logsheets. |
| 02 Tracker + fuel-level sensor | The tracked vehicles and machines listed above, where the diesel tank is compatible.A fuel-level sensor needs a compatible diesel tank. | Fit a fuel-level sensor in a compatible diesel tank and connect it to the tracker. | Refuelling, consumption and fuel draining events alongside fleet activity, helping investigate suspected fuel theft. |
| 03Gateway + energy meterGenerator fuel option: add a fuel-level sensor | Diesel generator or electrical panel | Connect the generator or panel energy meter through a gateway. For generator fuel monitoring, add a fuel-level sensor to a compatible tank. | Compare DG fuel-level drops with kW load and kWh generated to identify changes that need investigation, without treating low load alone as proof of draining. |
| 04 Bluetooth tags + zone gateways | People: Workers and StaffPortable equipment: Pumps, compressors, welders, sawsShared attachments: Buckets, breakers, forksKits and tools: Gas-detector cases, fall-protection kits, diagnostic toolsUse GPS tracking for trailers or units that travel beyond gateway-covered zones; skip low-value consumables. | Issue beacons to workers, attach them to shared portable assets, and place IoT gateways at monitored zones. | Worker attendance and zone history; last-seen zones for tagged equipment to support searches and site headcounts. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about devices, sensors and deployment.
Fleet monitoring shows where machines are and how they are used. Fuel monitoring checks fuel added, used and lost against that activity. Energy monitoring measures generator or panel power. Workforce and equipment monitoring records presence in monitored work zones.
Yes. A machine can use a tracker for movement and operating hours, then add a compatible fuel-level sensor to monitor refills and unusual drops alongside that activity.
Yes. Connect an energy meter through a gateway at a diesel generator or panel when power visibility is needed. Add Bluetooth tags and zone gateways when worker or equipment presence matters. These are separate site setups, not attachments to one vehicle tracker.
Start with whichever problem is costing you the most today: vehicle visibility (Fleet Management), fuel theft or waste (Fuel Management System), DG/power costs (Energy Monitoring System), or site workforce accountability (Workforce Management). The others can be added later.
