New machine and tech usage data in Machine Analyzer
Compare how machines and technology are being used throughout the busy season. With this update, there is even more information to view to help you understand how your operators are using the technology on your machines:
This data is available to add to a custom view in Machine Analyzer. Creating a custom view takes just a few steps. From the View menu, select “Add new view.” Then create a name for the new view and use the search box to find the information to include in the view. Once all the information has been selected, sort how the information should appear and save. Then, anytime you want to compare equipment in this view, simply select the view from the menu and select the appropriate equipment.
To use Machine Analyzer, connectivity must be turned on. This requires compatible JDLink™ hardware (Modular Telematics Gateway [MTG]/modem) and either an existing JDLink subscription or the new JDLink connectivity service. The JDLink connectivity service is available on current and future compatible equipment. See the July 2021 release notes for details.
