United Rentals Outlines Innovative Solutions to Maximize Performance on the Worksite

White Paper Details Ways to Create Performance-Driven Connected Worksites

United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), the world’s largest equipment rental company, today outlined steps construction, industrial and manufacturing companies can take to improve worksite performance by connecting people and equipment through data. The approach provides innovative, yet practical, ways companies can link nearly every part of a worksite - from the perimeter gate to the back office - to increase safety, productivity and sustainability.

The white paper, Worksite Performance Solutions™, explores strategies to create connected worksites that deliver maximum performance.

“At United Rentals, our aspiration is to connect the worksite.” said Tony Leopold, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer, United Rentals. “By jointly innovating with our customers, we are developing new ways to improve worksite safety, productivity, and sustainability.”

The white paper discusses how Worksite Performance Solutions help companies drive improvements in three areas:

Safety. Busy, high-traffic worksites can be dangerous places, and Worksite Performance Solutions enable companies to increase safety and security in a number of ways. Site and equipment access linked to RFID-enabled badges help ensure safe and authorized operations from the worksite perimeter to individual machines.

Productivity. The data behind a connected worksite provides valuable insights into worksite performance and opportunities to reduce equipment-related downtime. The cloud-based fleet management software, Total Control® and a suite of OnDemand technologies gives customers visibility and actionable insights that drive productivity.

Sustainability. Using data and innovative solutions, companies can identify practical ways to reduce costs and work toward sustainability goals. From alternative solutions that help save on fuel costs like battery energy storage systems, and solutions like environmental monitoring, customers can choose practical solutions that help them achieve business goals.
