The building blocks for professional power tool management
With STIHL connected, we have created a digital solution that offers you real added value in your day-to-day work. This is provided through the optimal interplay of the following components and applications.
STIHL Smart Connectors
The STIHL Smart Connector and the Smart Connector 2 A record relevant operating data and transmit this to the STIHL connected Box or the STIHL App.
STIHL batteries
The STIHL AR 2000 L and AR 3000 L backpack batteries and the STIHL AP 500 S battery can be integrated and managed in the same way as power tools, by means of an integrated Bluetooth® interface. This makes it possible to view the charge level, duration of use and serial number in the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connected Portal.
STIHL connected Box
The STIHL connected Box quickly, reliably and automatically transfers operating data collected with a STIHL Smart Connector or a battery with integrated connectivity, to the STIHL Cloud. Available as a mobile version for vehicles and a stationary version for warehouses and workshops.
STIHL connected App
The STIHL connected App lets you keep an eye on everything, even when you’re out and about, and view the status and locations of your power tools at any time. Thanks to the practical “Nearby” function, you can immediately identify if a power tool is missing after an outdoor assignment, so you will never again leave anything behind after finishing a job.
STIHL connected Portal
The machine data stored in the STIHL Cloud is then available to you to access in the STIHL connected Portal at any time, facilitating evaluation, detailed analysis and efficient planning of your activities.
Analyse, manage and plan your fleet of power tools and operations whenever and wherever you want. Ask for more information and tips about digital power tool management from your STIHL dealer at any time.
STIHL connected: One system. Many benefits.
We have developed advanced digital power tool management so that you can concentrate on the essentials and work even more efficiently. You can find everything you need here or at your STIHL dealer.
