What Is VisionLink®?
VisionLink is a secure, user-friendly web-based app you can use to quickly and easily retrieve vital information about your whole fleet. Hosted by Trimble, it is designed to work with both your Cat® equipment and allied brands. You can get insight into the operation — including productivity level and health — for all of your machines.
When used with Cat equipment, you can view engine idle hours and fuel consumption, as well as start and stop times. You’ll also get event and diagnostic codes from a range of electronically controlled systems.
Thanks to seamless integration with other Caterpillar data and applications, VisionLink becomes a robust platform that allows for comprehensive equipment management. From Parts.Cat.Com for ordering parts online to S•O•SSM Services for fluid analysis results, VisionLink connects to the data and services you need to make more and move more. Now that’s progress.
Why Use VisionLink?
When you take advantage of VisionLink, you get invaluable insight into how your machines are running and how they are being used. The key benefits of using VisionLink include:
- Safe and efficient management — You’ll be able to identify improper and inefficient use so you can address any issues with training. When your equipment is being properly used, you can prevent accidents.
- Improved productivity — Know exactly when your equipment needs servicing to prevent costly breakdowns. Get insight into your fleet logistics to streamline your worksite.
- Reduced operating costs — By streamlining your operations, you’ll add to your bottom line. You’ll be able to keep your equipment out of the garage and at optimal working levels. You’ll even see how fuel is being consumed to find better ways to use your equipment.
- Around-the-clock availability — You can access key operating information anytime, anywhere with Internet access. VisionLink does not require special software, and there’s no data that needs to be stored on your system.
Integrate VisionLink Information Into Your Existing Business Systems
An important feature of VisionLink is its flexibility. Designed to be used with mixed fleets, VisionLink can also seamlessly integrate into your other business systems for a comprehensive fleet management solution. The data feed service can combine the information remotely reported from your machines into your business applications. For example, the hours and usage data retrieved from VisionLink can be used with your resource planning system. You can also use machine location data in your dispatching application.
