A Better Way to Manage Your Fleet

There is a new way to manage your fleet. EquipmentManager provides valuable information about your fleet of equipment allowing you to manage your entire operation more efficiently. Depending on your information needs, EquipmentManager can help you:

• Manage the location, security and basic usage of your assets
  
• Schedule events like planned maintenance and major repairs
  
• Address condition-based events such as diagnostic codes
  
• Detect small problems before they may cause a major component failure
  
• Increase machine availability
  
• Identify operator training needs

With EquipmentManager, you have options to choose from in order to obtain the kind of information that best meets your fleet management needs, and the ability to change them at any time. Searches for information can be made in several ways - such as groups of machines, equipment ID, make or model. With EquipmentManager, your in control, you set preferences for the way you work.

Two Ways to Manage Your Fleet

By Exception

These exceptions include the following:

• Time-fencing and geographical fencing violations
  
• Maintenance due
  
• Major repair due
  
• Diagnostic code alerts
  
• Diagnostic events
  
• Fuel level alert
  

By Machine-specific Information
EquipmentManager also provides a search function that lets you search for information on a specific piece of equipment. You can perform a search by group, equipment ID, make, or model . Or you can conduct an advanced search. (For example, you might search for all machines within 100 miles of a given location that have PMs due next week.) After initiating either search, you receive results in an Event Summary report.

Online Tracking and Management of Machines The EquipmentManager application works with other applications such as PartStore and Equipment Data to simplify fleet management. The program uses three levels of machine status—red (requires immediate action), yellow (requires monitoring), and green (normal)—and you can send alerts to a pager, cell phone or other device.

The status indicator box on the home page links you directly to a listing of all machines at a given status. There you can view brief event descriptions and obtain further information, such as maps that pinpoint locations.
