Informed Decisions Start With Technology and Telematics

Knowledge is Power

Where should assets be deployed? How can you reduce fuel costs?

Getting the most out of your heavy equipment requires making hundreds of decisions, every day. 

Be confident that you’re making the right decisions, when you have accurate, timely data — because smart decisions start with up-to-date, useful information.

Cat® Product Link™ remote monitoring uses telematics to let you know where your equipment is, what it’s doing and how it’s performing. You’ll receive data (via cell or satellite connection) about the location, utilization and condition of your equipment to help you maximize efficiency, increase productivity and lower operating costs. 

Let's work together to decide what technologies will make it easier to reach your goals.

GOAL: EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT

Cat^® Connect technologies that focus on EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT combine technology and services to boost your job site efficiency. Access your data anytime, anywhere. Track equipment location and hours, monitor machine use and health, and take informed actions to better manage your assets and lower your operating costs.

Available Technologies:

• My.Cat.Com – Set up alerts, manage maintenance, view asset information, and access equipment utilization reports and history (web-based).
• The Cat^®App – Track the location and health of your equipment, order parts and service, and activate telematics devices directly from your mobile device.
• Cat Inspect – Capture and integrate inspection data with your other Cat data systems to keep a close eye on your fleet.
• Cat VisionLink – Monitor your full fleet (API solution for non-Cat equipment) with geofences, groups and projects to boost productivity, lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety (web-based). Multiple subscription levels are available to fit your needs. 
• Condition Monitoring – The Ring Power Fleet Monitoring Center will remotely track your machines and alert you of any issues needing attention.

Benefits

• Use data to make smarter, informed decisions
• Get more control of your job site without being on-site
• Increase productivity and efficiency
• Improve your bottom line

Related Equipment Management Solutions:

• Customer Value Agreement (CVA) – CVAs are focused on maximizing uptime, reducing ownership costs and increasing productivity. Each agreement is designed to custom fit your fleet’s repair, parts, maintenance, and budgetary needs.

• S.O.S. Fluid Sampling – This routine check-up for your oil, coolant and fuel delivers valuable insights you can use to prevent unexpected failures and unplanned downtime.  From a small sample, we can learn of excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues your machine may be experiencing.
• My Equipment – Add and store your machines in your Parts.Cat.com account to quickly find the parts you need and order from anywhere with a few "taps"

GOAL: PRODUCTIVITY

Cat^® Connect technologies that focus on PRODUCTIVITY help take the guesswork out of your operation – improving accuracy, efficiency and safety.

Available Technologies:

• Cat Compact – Precise navigation technology lets operators monitor progress and coverage. Advanced compaction measurement ensures that each pass delivers proper compaction and provides valuable completion data. (Available in several system options)
• Cat Grade – Improve grading efficiency, quality and consistency through 2D and 3D technologies. (Available for multiple machines and applications)
• Cat Payload – See how much is lifted in every bucket load, know when optimum hauler capacity is reached, and track tonnage output for specific time frames. (Available for multiple machines)
• Cat Detect – 

Benefits

• Get accurate information on daily loads and volumes
• Hit payload targets more consistently
• Boost production with faster cycle times
• Improve grade and compaction efficiency
• Use production data to enhance project performance

GOAL: SAFETY

Cat^® Connect technologies that focus on SAFETY support the operator’s level of awareness, and can even physically remove them from the cab in dangerous situations.

Available Technologies:

1. Cat^® Command – A semi-autonomous/remote controlled technology with specific systems. (Available for multiple applications)
2. Cat^® Grade – Reduce the number of ground personnel manually checking and measuring grade around your machine. (Available for multiple machines and applications)
3. Cat^® Payload - Knowing exact weights reduces overloading safety concerns. (Available for multiple machines)

Benefits

• Improve processes, operator visibility and jobsite safety practices
• Precisely track equipment location, speed and avoidance zones
• Reduce the risk of injuries every day
• Apply remote control in harsh or challenging environments
• Promote a positive safety culture
