Xwatch launches ‘most advanced’ telematics and safety platform yet

Construction machinery telematics

XWATCH Safety Solutions has announced the launch of its ‘most advanced and fully integrated’ telematics and safety platform to date.

Developed with mixed-fleet technology specialist PVS Data, XW-Insite brings together real-time machine data and Xwatch’s safety technology, offering construction professionals a new solution in the management of construction machinery across mixed-brand fleets.

The system provides visibility of machines, operators and job sites via a cloud-based dashboard that can be accessed on-site and remotely. Compatible with all major OEMs, XW-Insite connects machine data with safety parameters — including height, slew and Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI) limits.

Operators can set and adjust safety limits from the cab. The system also automatically reports key information, including engine performance, fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, fault diagnostics, and idle versus productive hours. It offers location tracking and captures live safety event data, including weight on the hook, creep control, and stop activation.

The system also monitors a range of operational and safety metrics — from engine diagnostics and GPS data to fuel burn, battery levels, and machine hours.

The depth of insight aims to support informed decision-making.

Hitachi Construction Machinery UK is using the system to deliver operational insight via its custom-branded CTFleet Link platform, supporting thousands of users across the UK and helping contractors understand how machinery is being used — and how operators are behaving — in real time.

Dan Leaney, sales director at Xwatch, said, “XW-Insite has been built from the ground up in collaboration with PVS — their tech expertise has been vital in bringing our vision to life. The result is a platform that gives contractors and plant managers exactly what they need: live safety data, real-time machine insight, and clear dashboards that work across every equipment brand.

“The web-based portal XW-Insite delivers real-time data that is easy to interpret through carefully designed dashboards. We guarantee that you can get to the data you need for your whole fleet within just three clicks.”

Scott McCabe, owner and director of PVS Data, added, “XW-Insite brings together the best of both worlds — proven safety control from Xwatch and reliable, real-time data from our platform. We’ve worked with our partners closely to ensure the system delivers what users need: clear, actionable insights that improve safety, cut downtime, and simplify fleet management across any site or machine type. Seeing it already in use with major OEMs like Hitachi reinforces that this system is built for the real world.”
