Caterpillar has announced the availability of VisionLink Productivity for cold planers. An online web platform, VisionLink Productivity delivers near real-time machine and jobsite data.
Available for Cat PM620, PM622, PM820, PM822 and PM825 Cold Planers, VisionLink Productivity gathers, analyzes and summarizes detailed data such as time spent waiting for trucks, cutting and travel at the jobsite as well as distance cut, fuel burn, location and cycle mapping. This gives contractors insights into equipment utilization.
VisionLink Productivity segments data into dashboards, providing multiple ways to view more detailed data and key product indicators (KPIs). Contractors can track the hours and distance milled each day and visualize excess travel, slow milling speeds and stoppage. Eliminating manual data gathering, detailed reports are available in PDF, Excel and CVS formats and can be scheduled for email inbox delivery.
This reporting technology enables contractors to measure performance of cycle segments, as well as track and compare operations between shifts, machines and projects. Allowing for the identification and reduction of unnecessary waiting, companies can achieve long milling cycle and support estimating for future projects.
