Success Story: BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH & Rosenberger Telematics – Telematics without compromise

 

Timelkam, 2025.08.28

BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH, part of the internationally active BAUER Group, is one of the world's leading companies in the field of special civil engineering. With highly specialized machinery such as drilling rigs, diaphragm wall machines, and grab systems, Bauer Spezialtiefbau implements complex large-scale projects in infrastructure, building construction, and civil engineering, consistently focusing on digitalization and efficiency.

OEM telematics for your own machines – and retrofit telematics for third-party devices

Bauer uses an OEM telematics solution for its own machines, which is perfectly tailored to its systems. However, additional purchased machinesβ€”such as drilling machines, service cranes, and small machinesβ€”are also used on numerous international construction sites. These machines change construction sites at irregular intervals and are indispensable for smooth construction site operations.

The challenge: These third-party machines must also be reliably monitored, used, and billedβ€”with the same transparency and efficiency as the company's own equipment.

 

The solution: retrofit telematics from Rosenberger Telematics

In Rosenberger Telematics, Bauer Spezialtiefbau has found the ideal partner for ensuring that no compromises are made, even with third-party machines. Retrofitting is quick and easy with the robust standard product ROBUSTO, which is ready for immediate use and records all relevant data directly on site. This allows you to keep track of which machine was on which construction site and for how long at all times - crucial information for minimizing downtime and optimally planning machine use.

At the heart of the solution is COMMANDER – an intelligent data hub that centrally bundles and interprets all machine information. Operating hours, locations, and utilization are precisely recorded and automatically fed into Bauer's ERP system via an interface. Accurate and traceable billing is essential, especially for machines that are rented within the group of companies. This seamless process saves time, reduces costs, and increases transparency.

Globally networked – locally efficient

Today, Rosenberger Telematics' telematics systems are used worldwide on Bauer Spezialtiefbau construction sites – from Europe to Asia to North America. The combination of OEM and retrofit telematics creates a uniform database that significantly improves processes, reduces costs, and increases safety.

 

β€œWith Rosenberger Telematics' retrofit telematics, we have full control over our entire machine fleet – regardless of whether the machines are our own or purchased. It is particularly important for us to know exactly how long each machine has been in use on which construction site at any given time. This transparency enables us to manage deployment efficiently and significantly reduce downtime.”

Conclusion: 

Spezialtiefbau impressively demonstrates that digitization is not a question of a machine's origin, but rather of the right technology. Rosenberger Telematics provides a flexible, reliable, and cost-efficient solution.
