Engine

An engine that never moves still wears out — and the backup generator nobody logged is the one that won’t start when you need it. The OGLAS Engine sensor brings the Vehicle Track run-log to fixed engines: generators, pump engines, compressors, anything that runs in place.

What it does

• Detects runs — from the engine’s accessory output, a vibration sensor, or current on the load. Every run is logged with start time and duration.
• Counts hours — accumulated run-time per engine, so service intervals are by hours, not by a date someone guessed.
• Trends battery and starting — for engines that fail to crank, the battery is usually the culprit; trend the voltage and you’ll see it coming.
• Flags exercise gaps — is the backup genset actually being run monthly, or has it sat idle since spring?
• Raises service alerts — hours-since-service past the limit rings the bell or pushes a notification.

Why it’s its own sensor

It shares the run-log engine with Vehicle Track — the difference is the trigger and the fact that GPS doesn’t move. For anything with a cab and a journey, use Vehicle Track; for a genset bolted to a slab, use this.

Pairs well with

• Vehicle Track — the moving counterpart; same maintenance and cost-per-hour reporting.
• Power Monitoring — pair generator hours with the energy produced.
• Smart Switch — auto-start the genset on low battery, and refuse to until it’s been serviced.
