This is Product Link’s intuitive user interface that gives the ability to schedule automated delivery of Vision Link reports and remote access to on-board payload system information.

The mobile application is available on iOS, BlackBerry, Android/Chrome and Windows operating systems.

Introductory functionality allows the viewing of the location of assets on a map, tracking scheduled services, viewing fault codes and open alerts and accessing idle, working and runtime through a smartphone.

It gives managers the ability to tap into existing onboard payload systems for wheel loaders and off-highway trucks equipped with such systems.

This means they can monitor information such as total payload moved per day and total payload per hour and per unit of fuel.

This integration adds to the existing productivity capabilities of the Vision Link application, which includes the ability to track load counts and cycle times based on switch and machine movement input.

It also has advanced integration with on-board grade control systems to enable detailed monitoring of earthmoving, grading and finishing projects.
