Case Study: MachineMax achieves global equipment visibility and sustainability gains with Looker

Drilling into data tracked from mining and construction equipment with Google Cloud and Google Maps

MachineMax, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, needed a scalable way to track and monitor off-road mining and construction equipment operating in remote locations worldwide. The company wanted to improve visibility, efficiency, profitability, and sustainability while reducing downtime, fuel use, and carbon emissions. It chose Looker alongside Google Cloud and Google Maps Platform to support its data-driven equipment management platform.

Looker helped MachineMax combine operational data from multiple sources into a single view so customers could monitor asset location, utilization, and condition in real time. The solution enabled better maintenance scheduling, improved asset productivity, and reduced idling and fuel consumption. With this approach, MachineMax gained more accurate operational insights and helped customers become more profitable, efficient, and sustainable.
