Customers will be able to track how much time their machines spend loading, hauling and dumping and how work is progressing whether they are on site or not. They can make informed decisions to ensure each piece of equipment is performing to a higher level – across multiple sites and projects.
Tom Barker, performance solutions consultant at Finning UK & Ireland, said: “The Cat Productivity platform gives customers the information they need to implement the right changes to improve site productivity by lowering the cost per ton through measures such as reducing idle time, reducing fuel monitor material tracking, and track individual assets to ensure they are optimally positioned to reduce cycle time.
“We already have a number of customers utilising the platform and have had some great feedback from them because it’s so easy to use and gives them all the information they need in one place, both for reporting purposes to their client and to implement effective changes which add up to big improvements in productivity.”
Cat Productivity can be accessed 24/7 from an internet device and can be used for mixed fleets of Cat and non-Cat machines. It gathers data from multiple jobsites and machines into one platform on tonnes per hour, cycles per hour, load count by site or asset, working vs. idle hours and machine fuel burn.
Jobsite dashboards allow users to view a summary of multiple jobsites and metrics such as number of assets, tonnes per hour and cycles per hour. Meanwhile, the productivity tab provides an insight into weekly load counts by asset and site, for example, and cost totals for idle time and per tonne. The platform also offers an interactive map so users can monitor the movement of their assets 24/7 and monitor dump events.
Finning is offering the platform as part of three support packages – Inform, Advise or Partner – which starts from a set-up only bundle and range to a partnership package to assist in implementing a continuous improvement programme.
