New capability streamlines the capture and delivery of machine data for industrial IoT applications
CARLSBAD, Calif., July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CalAmp today announced the general availability of expanded remote monitoring support for Modbus-enabled specialty equipment, enabling OEMs and solution providers to bring data from generators, air compressors, pumps, welders, HVAC systems and other field assets into the applications customers use to manage operations, maintenance and utilization.
For equipment operators, specialty machines often work out of sight across jobsites, yards and remote operating environments until something needs attention. Run hours, fault codes, location, utilization and machine health data may exist on the equipment, but they are not always easy to collect, interpret or deliver to the people responsible for keeping operations running.
CalAmp closes that gap by capturing data from Modbus-enabled equipment, translating it into a usable format and delivering it to cloud-hosted platforms and customer applications. The result is a faster path from machine signal to operational insight, eliminating the need for solution providers to build the full edge-to-cloud infrastructure on their own.
"Customers want reliable back-office access to the intelligence from their critical equipment data in the field," said Paul Washicko, SVP and General Manager of Telematics Solutions at CalAmp. "Our solution makes Modbus-enabled equipment easier to onboard, monitor and manage, enabling solution providers and OEMs to quickly deliver stronger digital experiences without building the entire edge-to-cloud infrastructure themselves."
From Remote Assets to Actionable Equipment Intelligence
CalAmp gives OEMs and solution providers a versatile technology foundation to transform hard-to-access machine data into customer-facing connected equipment solutions. By moving Modbus equipment data from the field to the cloud, CalAmp enables partners to give equipment owners and operators greater visibility into how machines are performing, where they are being used and when they need attention.
For equipment owners and operators, that means fewer blind spots across remote assets and more timely information to support daily decisions. CalAmp-enabled solutions can help:
Reduce downtime with run-hour data, fault alerts and service visibility
Improve utilization across jobsites, yards and distributed equipment fleets
Spot underused, overused or misplaced equipment more quickly
Support rental operations with runtime, location and equipment status data
Reduce reliance on onsite inspections and manual monitoring
Respond faster when equipment needs service or attention
