Use case
GPS monitoring for electric aerial work platforms: how NH Rental prevents downtime at the airport
Industry: Equipment and machinery rental (aviation environment)
Solution: IoT platform with GPS monitoring and battery monitoring
Challenge: Downtime, high maintenance costs, and limited fleet overview
A dead battery at the airport: immediate operational consequences
NH Rental supplies electric aerial work platforms to Europe’s busiest airports. In that environment, downtime is not an option: a dead battery or unexpected breakdown has immediate operational consequences. Together with Conneqtech and Capestone, NH Rental implemented an IoT platform with GPS monitoring that monitors the battery status and vehicle condition of the entire fleet in real time, thereby structurally preventing downtime and high maintenance costs.
The challenge: downtime and reactive maintenance on electric aerial work platforms
Electric aerial work platforms require intensive battery management and preventive maintenance. Without GPS monitoring and real-time fleet data, maintenance and battery replacement took place reactively: only after a malfunction or a report from a technician on site. This led to higher costs, more downtime, and a lack of predictability.
A central overview of the entire rental fleet was lacking, making efficient planning barely possible. NH Rental needed a solution that works proactively and grows with the fleet.
The solution: GPS monitoring and IoT platform from Conneqtech and Capestone
Conneqtech developed a custom IoT platform combining GPS monitoring with advanced monitoring of battery voltage, charge status, and usage data. Capestone provided the reliable IoT connectivity that transmits all fleet data to the platform in real time.
The result is a central dashboard on which NH Rental remotely monitors the entire rental fleet. Anomalies in battery status or vehicle condition are immediately detected, allowing proactive maintenance to be scheduled.
Collaboration between Conneqtech and Capestone
At an airport or other critical site, unexpected downtime costs money and trust immediately. Conneqtech and Capestone provide an IoT platform that monitors battery status and vehicle condition in real time, allowing you to perform maintenance proactively rather than reacting to malfunctions.

The result: reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and a scalable rental fleet.
Since then, NH Rental has gained significantly more control over its equipment. Unexpected downtime has been greatly reduced, maintenance is planned proactively, and the fleet is deployed more efficiently. Battery replacement and maintenance costs have become structurally lower.
The collaboration between Conneqtech and Capestone resulted in a stable, scalable GPS monitoring solution that grows with NH Rental’s expanding fleet.
