Written by Barloworld Equipment | Sep 13, 2024 9:38:30 AM

Our range of cutting-edge Equipment Management Solutions (EMS) are designed to help you get more out of your CAT® equipment. Specialised digital apps and platforms help you monitor performance data in real-time, to detect, repair or improve your machines.

 

What Are These Solutions?

Here are a few of our Equipment Management Solutions and how they benefit your business. And you always have the option to get a tailored solution – we create any combination of these elements to suit your specific business needs.

 

CAT® VisionLink® 

The VisionLink® Mobile App is the ultimate solution for easy, on-the-go equipment management. With just a few taps, you can access your equipment information, from the palm of your hand, remotely. It provides a holistic view of the performance, health, and location of your fleet equipment. You can track equipment usage, identify maintenance needs, monitor fuel efficiency, and make informed decisions to optimise fleet management and operations. Examples would be to monitor idle time, fuel burn and operator performance to identify issues that can be quickly addressed to increase efficiency and prevent accidents.

 

CAT® MineStar

Using real-time data, CAT® MineStar takes the guesswork out of managing your equipment in any mining operation. Inconsistent processes. Unskilled operators. Misdirected loads. Long cycle times. Extended machine downtime. These are all challenges you can address with Minestar. It will help you improve the efficiency of your overall operation — assigning fleets and operators, managing material movement, optimising payload and minimising repair costs.

CAT® Inspect

Inspect your equipment at the touch of a button.

Inspections can be customised to suit your specific equipment types and job site requirement. The app helps improve inspection accuracy, efficiency, and documentation, ultimately improving your equipment reliability and safety. It can be integrated with your other CAT® data systems (like VisionLink®), so you can keep a close eye on your fleet.

 

SOS Laboratory

A state-of-the-art laboratory that is revolutionising equipment maintenance. From diagnosis to solutions, you can now determine the health of your equipment by getting oil, coolant and fuel samples tested and analysed. Think of it as preventative maintenance. An early warning sign that could save you a small fortune, both in downtime and repair costs.
