Komatsu hub tied to its telematics

Komatsu America, headquartered in Chicago, says with its “comprehensive” digital hub, My Komatsu, equipment fleet operators can get “easy-to-interpret visual analyses of data collected from numerous sources displayed on easy-to-read dashboards.”

The equipment maker says the feature was designed to answer the question: What if you could monitor the health of your entire mixed-equipment fleet from one dashboard, receive maintenance alerts on your phone, and order parts without searching through manuals?

My Komatsu, says the firm, can pull data from Komtrax, Komtrax Plus, ISO API 15143-3 (AEMP 2.0) data from other OEMs, or other direct data sources and provide “powerful analytics to help you manage your fleet and drive your business” without managing multiple IDs and passwords.

“Komatsu understands that our customers are busy and expect technology to be easy to use,” says Matthew Beinlich, director of digital support solutions for Komatsu. “Starting today, our customers can get the most important telematics data, such as location, hours, fuel consumption, idle ratio and production, from My Komatsu for many of the other brands of equipment they may operate. Enter the ISO 15143-3 API credentials for those brands into My Komatsu once, and you’ll no longer need to log into each OEM’s system separately each day.”

According to Komatsu, the system has been designed to quickly view and manage data on one dashboard, receive maintenance alerts and order part, troubleshoot to help minimize downtime, monitor for theft and unauthorized use, benchmark machine performance, track fuel consumption and manage fuel efficiency, and access data anytime
