Caterpillar Tracking, Management Systems to be Standard
Caterpillar will equip most of its new core, mining and industrial machines with Equipment Manager and Product Link, the remote asset management solution developed by Caterpillar. The remote tracking and management system will be a standard feature in the United States and Canadian markets.
EquipmentManager is a secure, Web-based application that uses key indicators from equipment such as hours, location and diagnostic codes. Combined with powerful tools such as mapping, maintenance scheduling and troubleshooting instructions, Equipment Manager quickly sorts through machine data to identify events that require attention and delivers information in a meaningful and actionable manner.
Using satellite technology, Product Link is the hardware that enables information flow between on-board systems and EquipmentManager. The remote management system provides machine location and hours as well as time and geo-fencing capabilities.
