Data flows from Product Link ™ connected assets to the Caterpillar database, where it is stored.
ISO 15143-3 facilitates extraction and transfer of raw data and processed information into your database.
Data is stored on your server indefinitely and used for any purposes you require, such as trending, business intelligence and equipment histories.
Raw data can be organized and analyzed, providing useful information about machine health, fuel usage, operating and idle hours, location, etc.
These important insights can help inform business decisions – resulting in decreased fuel consumption, reduced maintenance costs, better equipment performance and improved operator productivity.
