Minimizing Downtime With Bobcat Machine IQ Telematics

In a technology driven world, it can feel like a race to stay informed on the newest developments. But staying up to date can also ensure that the efficiency of your projects is at its highest. Bobcat Machine IQ Telematics system helps to do just that. 

Bobcat's telematics system is a useful tool for both dealerships and their customers. The system allows users to receive important information about their M2-Series skid-steer or compact track loader, or R-Series compact excavator. By using an internet-connected device, users can access the Bobcat Owner Portal which receives information via electronic sensors in your machine. The sensors collect information such as critical codes, number of hours operated, and the machine's location. 

By monitoring these elements, you can better manage your Bobcat equipment. Knowing your machine's location even when you're miles away helps prevent theft and improves overall security. It's also an efficient way to stay on top of your machine's needed maintenance. For example, you can view the number of hours your machine has been running which can determine if it's time for a scheduled service. The sensors can also identify problems with the machine and report those back to you.  

This telematics system also sends information about your machine to your authorized Bobcat dealer, meaning if that a problem comes up, your dealer can respond with an answer. Best Line Equipment utilizes this technology to improve service to our Bobcat customers. When we receive critical codes about a machine's maintenance, we're able to respond quickly with a service or parts solution that can get the machine back to work, minimizing downtime.
