As part of the STIHL connected system, the Smart Connector 2 A integrates directly into the control module of selected STIHL professional AP System machines, collecting valuable operating data that can be accessed through the STIHL connected App or the STIHL connected Portal.

Designed for businesses operating multiple machines across landscaping, grounds maintenance, forestry, arboriculture and estate management applications, the Smart Connector 2 A simplifies machine fleet administration while providing detailed insights into equipment usage and performance.

Unlike standard runtime monitoring systems, the Smart Connector 2 A records a wide range of operational information, including runtime, operating speed, electronic component status and ambient temperature. This allows fleet managers and operators to gain a clearer understanding of how machines are being used and when maintenance may be required.

The connector also features an integrated real-time clock, ensuring usage information is recorded accurately even if the connector has not recently synchronised with a smartphone. This allows users to see precisely when a machine was used and for how long, improving job tracking and machine allocation across multiple operators and projects.

A built-in LED status indicator provides instant machine information at the touch of a button. Users can quickly check the status of the tool and identify whether maintenance is due without needing to access the app. The LED system can also be used to identify specific machines within larger fleets, helping operators quickly locate equipment when managing multiple tools.

When connected to the STIHL connected App, users gain easy access to machine data directly from their smartphone, making it simple to monitor tool performance, maintenance schedules and operating history. For larger businesses, the STIHL connected Portal delivers a comprehensive fleet management platform that provides detailed reporting, equipment status updates and information on machine usage across individual work assignments.

By combining intelligent machine monitoring with digital fleet management capabilities, the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A helps reduce administrative tasks, improve maintenance planning and maximise equipment utilisation across professional operations.

Whether managing a small tool collection or a large fleet of professional cordless equipment, the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A delivers a smarter, more efficient way to monitor and manage STIHL machines.
