MINNEAPOLIS, March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- PeopleNet® (www.peoplenetonline.com), a
Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) Company and leading provider of fleet
mobility solutions, today announced the availability of an
introductory version of Cummins Connected Diagnostics on the
current PeopleNet g3 platform. This collaboration between Cummins
and PeopleNet builds upon the integrated fault code analysis
available to PeopleNet customers today.
With this service, the PeopleNet system wirelessly connects
Cummins-powered equipment to genuine Cummins fault code analytics
to provide immediate diagnosis of vehicle condition. The service
notifies the fleet manager of the severity of the issue and, within
seconds, offers expert guidance to fleet maintenance and operations
management.
"We're thrilled to continue to evolve our capabilities with
Cummins, as we work toward one comprehensive package that will give
fleets a competitive edge and more fleet performance information,"
said Garland Jackson, General
Manager for the OEM business unit at PeopleNet. "A key benefit of
having the Cummins Connected Diagnostics service is that it will
work for any PeopleNet customer running a mixed fleet with Cummins
engines."
The service will help fleets manage uptime, which will help keep
trucks and drivers moving and profitable. The service detects and
diagnoses emerging potential equipment failures and notifies the
appropriate people with actionable information. By preventing
unscheduled service events, equipment utilization goes up,
scheduled arrivals are on time and drivers can maintain
productivity.
On April 1, fleets can activate
this introductory version of Cummins' Connected Diagnostics on a
PeopleNet system by contacting a PeopleNet Sales Representative at
1-888-346-3486, a Cummins representative or Cummins Customer Care
at 1-800-DIESELS.
