Equipment Tracking and Management Systems To Be Standard on U.S., Canadian Machines in 2008

January 6th, 2008 by moresnow | Filed under Crane, Excavator, Forestry, Skidsteer, Technology.

 Caterpillar will equip most of its new core, mining and industrial machines with EquipmentManager and Product Link—the remote asset management solution developed by Caterpillar. The remote tracking and management system will be a standard feature in the United States and Canadian markets. Caterpillar has provided remote asset management capabilities as an option since 1998; now Cat will deliver these capabilities as an integral part of most core Caterpillar® machines. Product Link will be available as an option for the remaining Caterpillar machines.

    Here we go again :) Part of the lack of adoption of Product Link is that the buyers of CAT machines believe that CAT can “spy on them” or void their warranties because they were abusing or overusing the machine they bought.
