Utilization -extension

Collect data from the machines in the construction site.

The information collected from the machines can help to utilize the machinery better and optimize the number of machines.

Utilization -extension connects to a 3rd party solution, which collects telematics information from multiple OEM systems, such as Caterpillar VisionLink.

Add the machinary from the site to the system and start collecting the information. Adding machines, contact your local Arkance company for more help.
