For telematics service providers and fleet owners alike, the challenge of managing heavy machinery is complex. You need a solution that not only tracks location but also delivers critical data, withstands extreme conditions, and provides a clear return on investment. Ruptela’s Smart5 is engineered to do just that, offering a robust and versatile telematics device that turns complex machinery data into simple, actionable insights.
Heavy machinery is a goldmine of data, but without the right tools, you’re operating blind. Smart5’s ability to read CANbus data from vehicles and equipment is a game-changer. It’s not just about tracking where a machine is, but about understanding what it’s doing and how it’s performing.
Smart5 supports a list of over 1,500 vehicles and machines, which you can check at vehicles.ruptela.com. For a construction firm, this data can drive a shift from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance, preventing unexpected downtime. For an agricultural cooperative, it means optimizing machine usage and accurately tracking fuel consumption to manage costs.
CANbus data empowers smarter, data-driven decisions. For example, from a machine like a John Deere 6320SE, Smart5 can retrieve parameters such as:
What happens when a machine has a non-standard, proprietary CANbus protocol, or isn’t on Ruptela’s supported list of over 1,500 vehicles? This is a common challenge for specialized equipment, such as concrete mixers, cranes, and agricultural machinery, often forcing telematics providers to either decline a project or use a less comprehensive solution.
This is where the Smart5’s CustomCAN feature shines. It is a powerful tool that allows you to decode and interpret CANbus data from virtually any machine. While a standard tracker can tell you speed and location, it won’t provide crucial data from specialized systems, such as:
CustomCAN enables telematics service providers to expand their service portfolio, take on unique projects, and provide a single, unified solution for mixed fleets. For end-users, this guarantees that Smart5 is a flexible and future-proof investment for their entire fleet.

Heavy machinery operates in some of the most unforgiving environments on the planet – construction sites filled with dust and debris, muddy agricultural fields, and port facilities exposed to constant moisture. For a telematics device to deliver a strong ROI, it must be built to last.
The Smart5 comes with a tough IP68-rated waterproof housing. This means it is completely sealed against dust and can handle being submerged in water. This strong design ensures the device works reliably in all weather and protects your hardware from the very elements that are part of the job. This robust design guarantees a long product life, giving you peace of mind that your investment will continue to provide important data for years.
Ruptela’s Smart5 is more than just a GPS tracker; it’s a comprehensive telematics solution built for the real world. By combining deep insights from CANbus data and the flexibility of CustomCAN with the durability of an IP68 waterproof rating, its slim design, and 4G + 2G connectivity, it offers a powerful hardware for machinery owners to maximize productivity, reduce costs, and secure their assets.
