Work Smarter with Cat Connect
Cat Connect Solutions consists of five solution sets — Equipment Management, Productivity, Safety, Sustainability and Command — that work together to enable your business to work smarter at all levels by improving machine uptime and utilisation, optimising production and enhancing worksite safety.
Equipment Management
By using the data from technology-equipped machines, this industry-leading heavy equipment management solution can help you to improve your operations and reduce owning and operating costs in a variety of ways.
Improved operations — Avoid over-utilisation of machinery by tracking machine availability, location and idle times to decide which and how many machines are required to complete a project.
Control costs — Reduce fuel burn by lowering idle times and remote machine monitoring and identify small problems requiring attention before they snowball into big problems requiring major repairs.
Get more done — By closing the knowledge gap and enabling team members to work more efficiently by spending less time investigating the condition of machines, Cat Connect helps you get more done.
Productivity
By connecting you with the right combination of productivity technologies that monitor your team’s work in real time, Cat Connect empowers your team to maximise efficiency and profitability regardless of fleet size.
Payload — To help you maximise payload, optimise efficiency and increase productivity, Cat Connect Payload Technologies provide on-the-go load weighing to help your operators achieve precise targets.
Grade — Cat Connect Grade Technologies can help your operators improve grading efficiency and reduce the number of passes by as much as 50% while reducing material, surveying and labour costs.
Link — Cat LINK Technologies comprise two key components, Cat Product Link and VisionLink, that grab data from machine sensors and control systems, and enable you to view this data on any device.
Safety
By improving visibility and jobsite awareness through hazardous zone alerts and machine location monitoring, Cat Connect Technologies and Services can help to improve safety practices and reduce the risk of injuries.
Improve safety practices — Cat Connect helps to improve worksite safety by enhancing operator visibility and hazardous zones awareness and can also aid in the identification of operator fatigue.
Track equipment location — By tracking the location and speed of heavy equipment in real time, Cat Connect can help your team implement avoidance zones and reduce the risk of preventable accidents.
Apply remote control — By providing the ability to apply remote control in harsh or challenging environments, this heavy equipment management solution effectively contributes to a safer worksite.
Sustainability
By improving performance through reduced fuel consumption and enhanced jobsite efficiency, Cat Connect helps businesses to simplify compliance reporting and reduce the environmental impact of your operations.
Minimise costs — Through reduced fuel consumption, more effective machine monitoring and better utilisation of heavy equipment, your business can minimise its machine owning and operating costs.
Simplify reporting — Cat Connect helps business owners to simplify their environmental compliance reporting requirements by providing accurate machine utilisation data across the fleet in real time.
Reduce emissions — By monitoring the fuel-burn of each machine and more effectively managing resource consumption, Cat Connect empowers businesses like yours to reduce carbon emissions.
Command
By delivering improvements across key areas like operator safety, site productivity and equipment availability using remote control, your team can work more safely and efficiently in harsh or challenging environments.
Enhance safety — By controlling heavy machinery from a safe distance, your operators are removed from hazardous conditions on-site, eliminating safety risks and helping to reduce preventable injuries.
Increase productivity — With Cat Command, your operators will be less affected by noise, vibration and rough terrain that contributes to operator fatigue, a common cause of reduced productivity.
Maintain control — With technological advances, including a range of built-in safety features, your operators are empowered to smoothly and precisely control machinery from a safe distance.
