Cat^® Equipment Management

Effective equipment management helps you understand exactly where your money is being spent. It lets you know: 

• - How much fuel you’re actually using.

• - Which assets are busy and which are sitting idle for too long.

• - Where you need more or fewer machines to get the job done. 

Timely, accurate information helps you find ways to save money at every turn. You’ll also be better able to understand how much each task costs per hour, so you can submit tighter, more competitive bids.

The more you know about what's happening with your equipment, the better you can decide how best to put it to work. Sharing information based on accurate equipment data helps:

• - Ensure that everyone from the back office to the site managers knows what equipment is available.
•  
• - Keep scheduled maintenance on track to reduce unplanned downtime.
•  
• - Improve utilization by enabling strategic reallocation of under-used assets.
•  

• Good equipment management keeps your whole team informed and up to date, so they can make smart decisions at every step.

Keeping a watchful eye on machine-generated data is one more way to monitor jobsite activities and help prevent accidents.

• - Get alerts about improper operating techniques so you can offer additional training.

• - Spot small problems early before a catastrophic failure shuts a machine down unexpectedly.

  - Make sure things like hoses and seals are replaced in a timely manner to prevent blowouts.

  - Monitor equipment locations to prevent theft and unauthorized usage.

The goal, as always, is to keep your people and your equipment safe, every day.
