Get the best out of your power tools with STIHL connected and save time, resources and money.

  • Keep an overview of your equipment fleet and perform a stock take at the push of a button with the Smart Connector 2 A.

  • Receive power tool data automatically, reliably and securely. That means you can always know where your power tools are.

  • Being constantly up-to-date on the age, battery life and maintenance status of your power tools means less downtime.

System components and interaction

STIHL Smart Connectors record the operational time of your machines and transmits this information to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth®. From there, the data is transmitted to the STIHL Cloud and is then available for your use in the STIHL connected Portal and the STIHL connected App.

The operational time of each machine is synced with a customisable maintenance plan, meaning key tasks such as greasing and sharpening can be done exactly when required. 

STIHL connected is an intuitive way of smartly and efficiently organising your fleet management and everyday work.
