The video below explains how Cat Connect’s condition monitoring capabilities will enhance your experience with your equipment.

How Does Cat Connect Condition Monitoring Work?

When you get Cat Connect for your equipment, your dealership will partner you with a Condition Monitoring Advisor. They will support you throughout the condition monitoring process, which will include the following steps:

• Your equipment’s Product Link software collects fleet data.
• An expert from your Cat dealer assesses your job site.
• The expert performs on-site inspections or you use the Cat Inspect app to complete your own.
• After pulling fluid samples on-site or at a Cat location, your expert submits them for analysis.
• The Caterpillar S·O·S℠ Fluid Analysis lab analyzes samples of your oil, fuel and coolant.
• Your Condition Monitoring Advisor analyzes all of the data collected by your Cat dealer’s team and maintenance records.
• After analyzing the data, the Condition Monitoring Advisor gives you actionable recommendations for repairs, maintenance, training and operations.

Caterpillar clients improve their operations through Cat Connect condition monitoring, with benefits such as:

• Fleet and job site optimization: Your Condition Monitoring Advisor will interpret all of the data they collect with efficiency in mind. They’ll give you recommendations for your job site layout and operations that maximize productivity.
