Fleet Management Solutions

Given the harsh operating environment for Caterpillar^® machines, it is not surprising that equipment failure occurs from time to time. Although equipped with state of the art Vital Information Management System (VIMS), fault detection, diagnostics and prognostics are based on thresholds set with limits to minimize false alarms. Component faults contribute to increased Maintenance and Repair Contract (MARC) costs, operational disruption and outlays under availability guarantees. However, identification of potential failures when they first start to develop is possible.

Caterpillar offers the following technology products to improve fleet operations:

• Machine Security System: An Equipment Theft Deterrent System
• Product Link: A wireless system that simplifies the work of tracking your fleet
• EquipmentManager: A new way to manage your fleet
• RAC: Road Analysis Control
• VIMS: Vital Information Management System. The current release includes VIMSpc.
• VIMS Supervisor: Vital Information Management System Supervisor Software provides custom fleet production and maintenance reports by extracting data from the VIMS PC^® Database.
