PLE602P

HIGH-LEVEL PLE602P NETWORK MANAGER OVERVIEW    

The Cat® PLE602P Network Manager acts as a liaison between equipment and the office, supporting two-way communication of equipment information. When coupled with Cat Product Link Web application and a Cat Radio, the technology provides data to worksite owners, managers, and equipment rental companies. This helps users optimize operational schedules, budget and resources. 

 

Data available includes:

  • GPS/equipment location
  • Utilization and productivity
  • Operational status of the asset
  • Fuel consumption
  •  Event and diagnostic codes
  •  Real-time alerts
  • Temperatures
  • Pressures
