JCB has launched a new version of its LiveLink telematics system which enables mixed fleet operators to control all of their plant and equipment with one network. The JCB LiveLink Control Tower system allows fleet owners to import fleet data from any telematics system compliant with the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) Telematics standard V1.2.
All machine information, whether JCB or competitive equipment, can then be displayed and interpreted in one secure, web portal or integrated into a user’s own IT system. JCB will also provide several developer toolkit services to assist with integrating machine data into existing systems and rental or fleet management software.
Ian Sayers, managing director, parts and service, JCB, said: “Many customers run mixed fleets and most manufacturers now offer a form of telematics support. This means fleet operators can be faced with a range of complex data, often in different formats. This invariably means logging into and viewing several incompatible systems in order to get a comprehensive overview of the entire fleet’s performance, whereabouts and service requirements. The new JCB Control Tower eradicates this problem by consolidating information from across a complete fleet on to a single dedicated system. This allows those responsible for fleet management to interpret data from multiple sources, enabling more informed, more effective and faster decision making.”
