Connect your electric power assets using hardware, data access technology, and digital tools that allow you to monitor and manage your generator set performance, costs, and operational efficiencies.
Cat Connect requires the following four components to deliver benefits:
The technology for Cat RAM (Product LinkTM hardware) end-to-end system is designed with multi-layer security controls and safeguards to protect against unauthorized access and disclosure. High-level security safeguards include, but are not limited to:
No matter what application you use your gensets in, easier access to more data will help you get more from your power assets.
Cat® RAM helps you be sure standby power will be ready whenever it's needed.
A Caterpillar customer in North Carolina ran a diesel genset for 25 hours after losing grid power due to a hurricane. Cat RAM allowed them to monitor genset status without venturing into the storm and allowed them to see when refueling was required.
In many applications, losing power is simply not an option. Cat RAM provides crucial insights and capabilities so you can ensure reliable power is always ready.
At an African firm, an alarm from Cat RAM for high crankcase pressure caused prompt investigation, which revealed an out-of-spec cylinder head needing replacement. The unit was back in service within eight hours. Had it run to failure, downtime could have exceeded two weeks, and repair costs would have been exponentially higher.
Are you providing continuous power to operations in remote areas? Cat RAM will ensure your power assets remain at peak performance.
With Cat RAM in place, a Middle Eastern utility was able to save 180 hours of labor per month and 5 hours of travel and troubleshooting with each repair. They achieved over 95% maintenance accuracy, improving performance and uptime.
Easily monitor fuel efficiencies and rental deliveries and returns.
When a railroad needed 80 rental gensets, their local Cat dealer provided 80 C32 units. Due to monitoring through Cat RAM, these machines ran for 2.5 years without an unplanned shutdown and were almost 7% more fuel efficient than the railroad’s already stringent requirement.
Protect your power asset with a Customer Value Agreement (CVA), a flexible service agreement customized to your unique needs. A CVA lasts at least one year and gives you the exact maintenance and support you need.
Enhance your service coverage by connecting your generator set(s) and working with Cat advisors who monitor your genset remotely. These dedicated experts will use insights from various inputs like Cat RAM, oil analysis, and service history to anticipate adverse events before they occur. This ensures you have reliable electric power throughout your service agreement coverage. Request a Cat dealer consultation to learn how you can build the right service coverage that includes remote monitoring with actionable recommendations by Cat experts.
Your Cat dealer will select the most suitable hardware for your generator set based on application and other factors. You can install hardware at the point of purchase or after purchase. This hardware sends and receives the data that makes Cat RAM an effective tool for increasing your peace of mind and genset life cycle.
Proactively monitor connected assets with Cat RAM, using a desktop or mobile app interface to access equipment data from anywhere in the world and on the go.
Manage your power assets from one online source. View inventory and asset details from any iOS or Android device. For additional asset details and troubleshooting, use the Cat RAM User Interface desktop version.
Cat RAM and the Cat RAM Mobile App work together to give you the ability to monitor your electric power assets anytime, anywhere. The Cat RAM App helps control costs, reduce risk, and improve business and system performance.
Two Cat® RAM subscription levels are available so you can choose the one that best suits your needs and application. Both options provide valuable insights and each subscription monitors a unique count of data parameters.
A higher number of data parameters covered means greater insights to help you form a more comprehensive plan of action and prevent service events or interruptions.
