Device Management
Connect and manage Garmin and SPOT devices directly through the platform to enhance worker tracking, communication, and safety. This integration provides greater visibility of remote operations, supports faster response in emergencies, and helps maintain safety.
What's the problem?
-
Remote and offshore environments make it difficult to maintain reliable personnel tracking.
-
Network limitations can cause visibility gaps during critical operations.
-
Multiple tracking tools across teams can lead to inconsistent data.
-
Operations teams need a single, centralised view of workforce locations.
How we can help
-
KUDO’s Location Device Management connects existing SPOT and Garmin devices, along with the mobile app, into one system.
-
Each device can be linked to an organisation and assigned to an individual.
-
All location data is displayed in the web portal for full operational oversight.
Benefits
-
Maintain full visibility of your workforce, even in remote or low-signal areas.
-
Improve emergency response times with accurate, real-time location data.
-
Centralise all tracking methods in one easy-to-manage platform.
-
Use existing SPOT and Garmin devices alongside the mobile app to reduce additional costs.
Common Questions About Device Management:
What is the Device Management feature in KUDO
Device Management is a feature within the KUDO platform that integrates SPOT and Garmin satellite tracking devices alongside the KUDO mobile app into a single, unified workforce tracking system. Location data from all connected devices is displayed in real time within the KUDO web portal.
Why do renewable energy operators need satellite tracking devices for lone worker safety?
Many renewable energy sites — particularly onshore wind farms — are located in remote areas with limited or no mobile network coverage. In these environments, the KUDO mobile app alone may be insufficient for real-time worker tracking. Integrating SPOT and Garmin devices ensures consistent location visibility regardless of signal availability, which is critical for lone worker safety and emergency response.
How does KUDO's Device Management work alongside the mobile app?
KUDO Device Management allows operators to use their existing SPOT or Garmin hardware alongside the KUDO app within a single platform. Each device is linked to an individual worker and an organisation, and all location data — from both devices and the app — is displayed together in the web portal for complete operational oversight.
Does KUDO Device Management reduce the cost of workforce tracking?
Yes. Because KUDO integrates with devices operators already own, there is no need to replace existing Garmin or SPOT hardware. Centralising all tracking within KUDO also removes the cost and complexity of managing multiple separate tracking systems for different worker types or site locations.
How does KUDO's Device Management support emergency response?
In the event of an emergency involving a lone worker in a remote location, KUDO's Device Management provides control room staff with accurate, real-time location data for all connected devices — even in areas without mobile coverage. This significantly reduces response times and supports the welfare checks required under lone worker safety policies.
