MUNICH, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today the next generation of its
VisionLink® solution for fleet, asset and productivity
management. The new version provides easier and faster access to
more focused information using targeted apps via any Web-enabled
device, such as a tablet or smartphone.
The announcement was made at bauma 2016, the world's leading
trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines,
mining machines, construction vehicles and construction
equipment.
Designed for Mobile Devices
The new version of VisionLink optimizes the solution for mobile
devices. It provides identical functionality whether users are
viewing the information on a laptop or on a smartphone, with
uncluttered, easy-to-read screens featuring large buttons.
Customized and Targeted Apps
The Web-based VisionLink solution has been redesigned into
smaller, task-based targeted apps so users can quickly access the
information they need more quickly. Contractors can also configure
the software to fit their unique needs with a new feature that
offers a variety of customizable dashboard widgets. Similarly, they
can specify when automated reports are generated and what content
the reports will include. New targeted apps include VisionLink
Unified Fleet and VisionLink Landfill.
The VisionLink Unified Fleet app, developed for the fleet
manager, features user-friendly screens to display information such
as hours, miles, location, idle time, asset status, and
customer-defined asset states. The app continues to support the
AEM/AEMP Telematics API Standard, allowing the system to be used
for mixed fleets.
The VisionLink Landfill app is designed to enable landfill
operators to better manage solid waste. The new app tracks the
compaction and fill processes on landfill compactors using a
Trimble® CCS900 Compaction Control system. The app
calculates waste volumes placed and compaction densities.
Third-Party Data Integration
Partners and third parties can extend the VisionLink apps to fit
their unique needs with the VisionLink Services Platform.
Third-party developers can create unique solutions using VisionLink
data to offer solutions that broaden the standard VisionLink
features.
An Easy Transition
To ease the transition between the legacy and next generation
solution, the VisionLink Legacy app allows contractors to use the
original interface. Customers will use the same URL, which will
take them to a Website with information about new VisionLink apps.
From this screen, existing users can log on and then select
VisionLink Legacy or select one of the new apps, such as VisionLink
Unified Fleet or VisionLink Landfill.
Availability
VisionLink is now available globally through the
SITECH® dealer channel.
