LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnitracs
LLC, a leading provider of fleet management solutions to
transportation and logistics companies, and Cummins Inc. (NYSE:
CMI), a leading independent manufacturer of diesel and natural gas
engines, today announced that Cummins Connected Diagnostics
application is now available to customers using Omnitracs' Mobile
Computing Platforms (MCPs) and its Fault Monitoring application's
Extended Faults add-on.
Omnitracs is one of the first mobile fleet management technology
providers in the commercial trucking industry to support the
Connected Diagnostics solution, enabling customers to access
near-real-time engine diagnostic information, for improved
management of maintenance and repairs. Connected Diagnostics
leverages data from Omnitracs' Fault Monitoring application,
combined with an easy-to-understand notification report developed
by Cummins, to provide near-real-time alerts for all available
engine fault codes. Connected Diagnostics optimizes the features of
the Fault Monitoring application with immediate diagnosis and
prioritization of engine system fault alerts. It delivers engine
information and expert guidance to fleet maintenance and operations
management within seconds, informing them of root causes and
enabling them to take proactive steps on fixing what's most
important, in order to reduce fleet maintenance and repair
costs.
"Today, fleets are easily inundated with an immense amount of
truck information that they don't always have the resources to
interpret, which limits its usefulness," said Richard Glasmann, Vice President – OEM Strategy,
Sales and Marketing, Omnitracs. "Cummins Connected Diagnostics
enabled by Omnitracs' Fault Monitoring application will support a
proactive approach to engine maintenance and repair while enhancing
the value that we deliver to our mutual customers. This
collaboration further underscores Omnitracs' commitment to
developing critical solutions with industry leaders that help
fleets operate more efficiently and safely."
"The collaboration with Omnitracs demonstrates the seamless
integration that Cummins has taken with its Connected Solutions
suite," added John Malina, Executive
Director – Product Connectivity Business, Cummins. "Connected
Diagnostics can now instantly benefit Omnitracs and Cummins
customers with genuine Cummins guidance in response to transmitted
engine system fault data."
Commercial availability of Connected Diagnostics for fleets
equipped with Omnitracs MCPs will begin April 1, 2015. For more information and to enable
