| Volvo to equip machines with CareTrack system as standard  Volvo Construction Equipment has announced it will fit as standard its remote monitoring (telematics) system on all larger machines – along with a no charge 36 month CareTrack service subscription. Under the plan, most newly produced larger machines (wheel loaders over 10 tonnes, articulated haulers, excavators over 12 tonnes, motor graders) ordered for CareTrack activated markets, will be standard equipped with telematics and will be delivered with a no charge, 3-year CareTrack customer subscription that enables owners to enlist the full range of benefits available with remote monitoring.CareTrack is Volvo Construction Equipment's state-of-the-art telematics system used to manage a machine's productivity and maximize its availability for work. Using GPRS (mobile network) or satellite technology to send information, data is available securely and instantaneously to any remote online connection. Through fault reporting and activity warnings and by facilitating remote diagnosis, the goal is that machine problems will be identified sooner and resolved faster. Machine operation and deployment can be optimized via functions that monitor fuel consumption, location, hours of operation, speed and approaching service intervals. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
