Lindsay Introduces its Cloud-Based Virtual Asset Monitoring Platform

Lindsay has unveiled its cloud-based virtual asset monitoring platform for the Departments of Transportation (DOTs).  Named as RoadConnect, it is a single-source solution for maintaining and monitoring prime road and highway properties such as crash cushions, guardrails, end terminals, utility poles, and bridge structures virtually.

RoadConnect has a user-friendly dashboard that demonstrates assets data details, real-time location, and status. Further, it also provides notification, email, and text alerts to allocated management staff through any internet-enabled computer or mobile device. The platform empowers cloud-based remote asset monitoring, expanding the observation capacity with limited resources. In addition, it accurately captures asset data, improving the maintenance and reaction speed to accelerate operational efficiency and keep roads safe. RoadConnect merges information from various properties into a single, simple user interface, along with detailed knowledge of the asset, including accurate locations in a map view.

Additionally, to reduce workers’ field time, traffic exposure, and getting permission for remote impact detection, a lightweight, self-contained monitoring system, ImpactAlert, is added. It maintains the integrity of testing and performance standards of the assets with non-destructive mounting. As a result, RoadConnect helps DOTs increase the uptime, health-check, and measure performance of crucial infrastructures while refining operational efficiency with complete road safety.

While increasing regulations and decreasing budgets is the biggest challenge for DOTs, it is evident for RoadConnect to find a solution that includes maintenance and inventory, and remote monitoring capabilities. Further, it improves safety and ROI by reducing the labor cost involved in manual data capture, expanding maintenance effectiveness through quicker and reliable updates. RoadConnect and ImpactAlert are undergoing beta testing, and after successful results, Lindsay aims to launch them in the US soon. Additionally, the organization has planned to integrate their remote streetlight monitoring solution LightGuard Pulse device with the RoadConnect dashboard.
