Cat Remote Services

Overview

Remote Services is a suite of cutting-edge technologies that significantly improve jobsite efficiency. Two of its key functions are Remote Troubleshoot and Remote Flash. Remote Troubleshoot allows your dealer to run testing while the machine is operating. Once the problem is identified, a technician can fix it with the correct parts and tools the first time, saving time and money. Remote Flash sends an alert from your Cat dealer, prompting you to update your software. To minimize downtime, the updates will deploy while on the jobsite. Both Remote Troubleshoot and Remote flash decrease maintenance time and keep your machine running with maximum efficiency.

How does Remote Troubleshoot work?

A Remote Troubleshoot session is initiated via the Remote Services website, using a unique link. The machine must be powered on, and can be in operation during Troubleshoot session.

During the session, the dealer will receive critical, real-time information on the machine.

A dealer technician can then arrive on the job site with the necessary parts and tools to performthe required repairs, rectifying any issues quickly and efficiently.

How does Remote Flash work?

When an eligible asset with the latest telematics hardware requires a software update, your Cat dealer will push available flash files to targeted machines. Next, an authorized user (customer employee or dealer representative) will perform the following steps on their mobile device:
• Confirm the asset is ready to begin flash
• Initiate the flash
• Confirm post-flash performance
