SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) has been awarded a John Deere supplier innovation award for
2014. The award is presented to a select group of suppliers who
have demonstrated innovation in a product or service they provide
to John Deere.
Award selections are based on four factors—creativity,
feasibility, collaboration and bottom-line impact. John Deere
created the supplier innovation awards in 2010 to promote
innovation in the company's supply base and recognize suppliers who
think creatively.
Trimble supplies its LOADRITE® L2180 loader scales to John
Deere.
"Deere has recognized the customer's need for payload management
as part of the WorkSight solutions portfolio. We are very pleased
that Deere selected LOADRITE as its onboard weighing solution
specialist, with a commitment to accuracy and quality," said
Johan Smet, Trimble Loadrite general
manager. "The LOADRITE product is backed by our factory trained and
authorized international installation and support team. Our
relationship with Deere dates back more than twenty years, and we
look forward to extend our productive relationship well into the
future."
Availability
The LOADRITE L2180 technology has been enhanced to create a
deeper integration with Deere loaders, including WorkSight.
LOADRITE L2180 loader scales are available as a factory orderable
option on Deere 444 to 844 four-wheel drive loader (4WDL) models.
Onboard scales help loaders optimize truck payload, process, and
efficiency as well as avoiding over-load fines. By tracking payload
data (product, tonnage, customer, operator, time, date stamps etc),
managers can use this data to improve cycle times, truck turnaround
or payload accuracy. LOADRITE loader, excavator or conveyor belt
scales are available from LOADRITE Authorized Distributors
worldwide.
