Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe)
ConSite is continuously evolving to bring value to your business. Using data from Hitachi construction machinery and advanced ICT technology, it offers a wide range of benefits to enhance operational efficiency and support sustainable growth. HCME Product Manager Arthur Geremia explains more...
Firstly, what is ConSite?
ConSite is a family of applications and services that includes ConSite: Data Report, Pocket, Shot, Alarm and Oil. Through these, owners can monitor and manage their Hitachi construction machinery to achieve higher productivity and less downtime. By providing real-time machine data, predictive maintenance insights, and remote equipment management, it allows users to optimise fleet performance, reduce operating costs, and make data-driven decisions.
And what are the main benefits of ConSite?
ConSite takes machine data and turns it into useful insights, helping you to plan maintenance ahead of time and make better use of resources. By predicting when oil changes or analysis are needed for example, ConSite helps to extend the life of your equipment and cuts down on overall ownership costs.
Which models are compatible with ConSite?
ConSite is compatible with most Hitachi Zaxis excavators and ZW wheel loaders (-3, -5, -6 and -7 series), as well as EX mining excavators and EH rigid dump trucks. It is also compatible with the new range of electric excavators.
How can the information captured by ConSite be viewed?
The monthly ConSite Data Report can be easily accessed and downloaded in Owner’s Site and ConSite Pocket. These include such metrics as: oil condition; machine operating hours; fuel consumption; CO2 emissions; and other useful data. All this information allows fleet managers to identify any potential issues early, which in turn helps to reduce downtime and plan maintenance efficiently.
What makes ConSite unique?
A comprehensive approach to machine health management, coupled with industry-leading innovations. Hitachi is the only construction machinery manufacturer to offer an oil condition monitoring sensor, which allows owners to check the status of the oil in their machines online.
The oil works like the blood in our veins, as it cleans everything and ensures the machine is working properly. If it isn’t in a good condition, then problems may start to arise. By combining the advanced sensor technology with our robust ConSite platform, we provide an unmatched solution for optimising equipment performance, extending machine life, and reducing operational costs.
How does the oil sensor work?
The oil condition monitoring sensor checks the oil’s condition in real time. It monitors the hours of use, viscosity, deterioration and the possible presence of contaminations like metal, silica, sand and rock. This also helps to detect any wear and maintenance needs early, as well as preventing unplanned downtime and costly repairs.

What is the ConSite Pocket app?
In addition to real-time machine data like operating hours, idle time, fuel consumption, and location, the ConSite Pocket app provides proactive alerts on potential issues, allowing for a quick response. With this you can optimise machine utilisation, efficiently schedule maintenance, and make informed decisions on the go.
And what is the ConSite Shot app?
ConSite Shot is our digital inspection assistant. It streamlines daily machine visual inspections for owners to ensure everything’s in order. It’s also valuable for rental companies when delivering or picking up a machine.
The app is user-friendly with a guide to taking consistent photos and there are options for in-depth inspections that can aid in buying or selling machines. Furthermore, there is a version of the app – ConSite Mining Shot – for the mining industry that works in the same way.
What level of support is available for ConSite?
If an issue is detected, local Hitachi dealers have access [through ConSite] to the critical data needed for efficient troubleshooting and resolution. In practice, this means that service work is more streamlined, and the time to solve issues is reduced.
What are the plans for developing ConSite?
HCME’s aim is to grow as a true solution provider: first focusing on preventive maintenance through data use; before advancing to phase two of enhancing our products and creating two-way connections throughout the supply chain.
To unlock the power of ConSite, contact your local Hitachi dealer. They will set up a Global e-Service account, connecting your machine to our advanced monitoring system. Download the ConSite Pocket and ConSite Shot apps from the App Store or Google Play to access real-time machine data and streamline inspections at your fingertips.
For more information talk to your local dealer.
