Why Condition Monitoring?

What if you could keep every asset operating at the highest level, every minute of every day, without adding headcount? That’s what fleet monitoring helps make possible. Your Cat® dealer and the Caterpillar Fleet Monitoring Center do the heavy lifting — keeping on top of asset performance and health — so you can focus on running your business. When we see anomalies or areas for improvement, we let you know proactively. The result? You make informed decisions based on real-world data, driving bottom-line benefits:

Control Costs

• Schedule repairs before failure, limiting expensive downtime
• Perform maintenance when it’s needed, not too soon or too late
• Extend component life by tracking condition, not hours
• Identify areas where you can reduce idle time and fuel burn

Improve Performance

• Allocate assets more efficiently
• Make changes to your site that boost production and efficiency
• Determine the ideal time to upgrade or replace older equipment

Reduce Risks

• Avoid safety incidents resulting from equipment or component failure
• Identify unsafe situations or risky behavior before accidents occur
• Monitor fatigue and distraction in the cab (requires the Driver Safety System)

Manage People

• Spot opportunities to train operators to work more accurately or safely
• Free up your internal resources for other jobs
• Catch and fix human errors before they lead to major issues
