JCB has announced it has updated its LiveLink telematics platform with a series of developments designed to expand safety and security functionality.
The updates include new remote machine management features – such as JCB IntelliSense integration – becoming vailable on Hi-Viz Loadall telehandlers.
JCB LiveLink currently connects more than 580,000 machines worldwide and supports over 40,000 customers. The resource is accessible through a web browser and mobile app and covers JCB and mixed fleets. The system provides information on machine location, utilisation, fuel consumption, maintenance requirements and security.
Group MD – global aftersales, Mario Moser, said, “Customers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce operating costs, improve machine utilisation and maintain safe, efficient worksites. JCB LiveLink continues to evolve to support those objectives. The latest developments reflect the growing range of users who rely on machine information across modern operations.
“Whether they are running a business, managing a fleet, overseeing a project or operating a machine themselves, customers need access to information that is relevant to their role and helps them make informed decisions. By helping customers make better-informed decisions, LiveLink can bring increased profitability, safer working environments and more sustainable machine operation.”
JCB’s Hi-Viz Loadalls – the 535-125, 540-140 and 540-180 models – now benefit from enhanced remote management functionality through LiveLink. Fleet managers can remotely adjust a range of machine settings including Auto Stop parameters, speed limit controls, IntelliSense activation, tyre pressure monitoring settings, and remote PIN management.
The functionality allows settings to be managed without visiting the machine. Tyre pressure monitoring information can also be viewed remotely.
Integration with JCB IntelliSense provides additional safety benefits. The AI-based system can alert operators to pedestrians in areas of risk, while near-miss events and video footage can be reviewed through LiveLink to support site safety management and incident analysis.
