Engine hours from the machine
A CAN tracker reads real engine hours and fuel where the machine shares them, so you see working and idle time for every excavator, loader and crane.
On a construction project, a machine that idles all afternoon costs almost as much as one that digs. Loaders sit with engines running, a crane is used on a rest day nobody planned, a generator leaves a site in Dubai South on a truck and turns up at another project, and the hours billed to the client come from a logbook filled in at the end of the week.
Doroobi Fleet is being built to give every machine a record of its own. A CAN tracker reads engine hours and fuel from the machine, zones mark each site and yard from Mussafah to Al Quoz, and after launch battery trackers follow the generators and compressors that move between sites on the back of a truck. Each project then sees what it really used.
What Doroobi Fleet sets up for sites
Use by machine and site
The utilisation report sets hours worked against hours available, showing which machines stand idle and which sites need more.
Battery trackers for kit without a driver
After launch, generators, compressors, light towers and containers get trackers that run on their own battery, with no wiring, and report any movement.
Service by engine hours
Maintenance reminders follow real engine hours, so the next service falls due when the machine has worked, not when the calendar says.
Costs per project in Odoo
Hours, fuel and maintenance costs will flow into Odoo Project and Accounting, so each job carries its real machine cost.
How a site week changes
Morning on site
The site manager opens the map and sees which machines have started, which are idling and which have not left the yard.
During the day
Long idling or a machine leaving its zone raises an alert, so a loader running for no reason or a generator on the move gets a call within minutes.
After hours
Any ignition or movement at night or on a rest day is flagged with the place and time, not found later when the fuel runs low.
Month end
Engine hours per machine and per site are ready for the rental invoice or the project cost report, from the tracker rather than a logbook.
Why our 3D map helps on site
Construction sites change faster than most maps. Doroobi’s own 3D map shows the towers and yards around your sites with Arabic and English names, and with the 3D Studio we can add the buildings and compounds you work around. Doroobi drivers report closures and diversions near sites as they happen, so the truck bringing the next machine takes a road that is open.
Questions
Can it read engine hours from heavy machines?
Yes, from the CAN bus where the machine shares it. Where it does not, engine hours are counted from the ignition, which still separates running time from parked time.
How do you track a generator with no driver?
After launch, a tracker that runs on its own battery is fixed with a magnet or screws, reports its position each day and alerts you when it moves. Generator run hours for rental billing come with the same asset tools.
Can we split machine costs by project?
Yes. Zones tie each machine’s hours and fuel to the site where they were used, so each project gets its own share.
Will fitting a tracker affect the machine’s warranty?
The CAN reader is contactless and clips around the wiring without cutting it. Even so, ask your dealer before fitting, as each maker has its own rules.
