Telematics powers Cat’s EMSolutions

Caterpillar has built a portfolio of tiered service offerings to help manage equipment assets and lower operating costs, whether the customer performs maintenance tasks or Cat dealer handles the details. Equipment Management Solutions (EMSolutions) is supported by Product Link technology that collects data directly from the fleet and presents summaries to managers via VisionLink. The system promotes decision making based on equipment location, fuel burn and utilization. Five EMSolutions levels are progressive, ranging from basic connectivity to machine electronic control modules through dealer-delivered condition monitoring services such as fluid sampling, and on to complete, proactive management of the fleet.
