Common questions and answers about Komtrax


A step-by-step look at how Komtrax works

  1. A GPS satellite provides positional information to your equipment in the field.
  2. Your machine’s Komtrax unit gathers engine and location data and sends it to the satellite.
  3. The satellite transmits this information to the Komtrax data centre.
  4. The Komtrax data centre stores and distributes information throughout the machine’s working life.
  5. You can access all information from the Komtrax data centre via the internet.
