STIHL connected is a smart fleet management system that enables professional users to digitally manage machine fleets and work assignments.

This is managed by the STIHL Smart Connector 1 -a sensor with a diameter of just under 5 cm, which is mounted on the tool. It can be mounted on petrol, electric or battery-powered tools where it records and saves the operating hours while the motor is running and transmits this information via Bluetooth® 4.2 to the STIHL connected App (the smart connector can be mounted on third party devices too). The Smart Connector offers entirely new functions and services, as a basis for device management both in your home garden using the STIHL connected App, and for managing your machine fleet using the STIHL connected Portal.

Here’s a few reasons why STIHL connected can help manage your fleet of tools:

   The Digital Fleet Management keeps a record of all tools and their service record

• You get prompts when a tool needs servicing, so you never forget to change the plug, filter or just carry out maintenance.
• You can see how many hours a tool has done, so you can plan which tools to use, replace or buy more of.
  • A real time clock is built in which saves the working time of the connector until it connects to the app.
  • The operating time from the day of use and daily operating time history can also be tracked.
  • You can see daily analysis of the operating time in the STIHL connected portal too.
• At the end of the day, you can open the app and see which tools are next to you - so you can tell if something is missing.
• Book a service with your nearest STIHL Approved Dealer and give them access to see what work will be needed in advance.

Other features of the Smart Connector 1 include a positioning aid for fitting to third party devices. And a built-in LED light helps you identify the Smart Connector 1 unit as well, which is especially helpful if you have lots of machines in your workshop or fleet.
