IoT based Asset Management
The Internet of Things (IoT) solution for asset management empowers Green Cubes Material Handling and Aviation Ground Support Equipment (GSE) customers to connect personnel, equipment, batteries, and operational systems through a centralized industrial IoT cloud platform.
The Green Cubes clean, connected, and cost-effective ecosystem for material handling and aviation GSE applications includes batteries and chargers connected through industrial IoT software and cloud-based monitoring systems via an IoT gateway.
MAESTRO Industrial IoT Asset Management Software
MAESTRO web application serves as an industrial asset management software platform for Green Cubes batteries and chargers used in material handling equipment and aviation GSE operations.
The industrial IoT cloud platform enables a centralized, cloud-based environment for automated collection, updating, and management of operational data in one secure location rather than across multiple disconnected databases.
MAESTRO’s Asset management is one of the differentiating factors that help warehouse and ground support operations gain a competitive advantage. Availability, performance, and quality of the equipment are the three critical drivers for overall equipment effectiveness in these operations.

Key Features of MAESTRO Industrial IoT Software
Following are MAESTRO’s key features:
- Remote Asset Tracking: Using cloud-based industrial IoT software, facility managers and stakeholders can retrieve deployed asset information anytime, anywhere, from any connected device.
- Asset Health/Condition Monitoring: Cost-efficient and proactive method to evaluate the various health indicators and associated risks. Help define events, alerts and policy execution that enable recommendations for improved asset health.
- Asset Lifecycle Management: Maintain a comprehensive asset history to improve equipment utilization, reduce downtime, and support long-term lifecycle planning across industrial operations.

Industrial IoT Cloud Platform Benefits
MAESTRO industrial IoT software helps warehouse and aviation operations improve equipment uptime, charging efficiency, asset utilization, and maintenance planning through centralized cloud-based monitoring and analytics.
- Real-time battery and equipment visibility
- Centralized cloud-based reporting
- Predictive maintenance insights
- Remote asset diagnostics
- Equipment utilization tracking
- Charging schedule optimization
- Reduced operational downtime
- Improved maintenance planning
MAESTRO assists Material Handling and Aviation GSE operations to remain updated about all their assets, interpret asset use and condition by monitoring availability, performance, and quality of each of the asset / equipment. The operational cost of the asset reduces with the improvement in the uptime, utilization, and availability of the asset.
Example equipment dashboard with updated information and status of each asset / equipment.
Asset health/condition monitoring provides real time visibility and leads to greater understanding of the asset utilization scenarios in each facility. This helps to plan and organize charging and usage schedules including opportunity charging more effectively to leverage off peak hours to optimize energy savings.
Customized charging schemes to reflect actual asset utilization leading to improved efficiency of operations. Strategizing improvements in asset health and lifecycle management has a direct impact on future capex investments.
So Opex is reduced by improving operations efficiency and Capex is reduced by improving the lifecycle of the equipment and better utilizing the assets.

Important display parameters can be configured using a filter and all parameters streamed by the BMS can be exported, including SoC (in %), Charge Current (in Amps), Discharge Current (in Amps), and Average Battery Temperature.
Material Handling and Aviation GSE operations using MAESTRO have the time and capabilities to assess the quality, quantity, location of assets to improve work processes, reduce waste, and prevent sudden equipment failure to maintain a cost-efficient system. Moreover, collecting inputs around operational and health parameters of different sub-systems operating inside or around the asset enables a framework to achieve higher asset utilization and uptime through predictive maintenance and equipment usage with the additional data about the application made available.
In addition, MAESTRO’s abilities can be extended to further achieve the following:
- Asset Workflow Automation: Build powerful automation capabilities depending on the applications to accelerate business processes, reduce errors, and increase operations efficiency and productivity.
- Predictive Asset Maintenance: Build data analytics capabilities to stay alert of your asset shutdowns and downtime by understanding the performance threshold and planning backup measures accordingly.
