JDLinkTelematics Solutions

JDLink: the telematics solution for profitable fleet management.Farming is changing. Equipment fleets are expanding. Costs are rising. It is essential, therefore, to keep equipment constantly up and running. To cope with these factors fleet managers, like yourself, are turning to the logistical advantages only telematics can provide. The goal is to acquire real time information that will answer questions such as:

• Where and in which fields are my machines located?• When is the next maintenance due?• How can I protect my machine against possible theft and abuse?• How many hours did the machine run while working for customer A?• How can I monitor fuel consumption?• How can dealers provide me with high quality service at low cost?• Why do two identical machines use different amounts of fuel and require different repairs?

2 JDLink Telematics Introduction

JDLink has the answers.The JDLink telematics machine monitoring system gives you the information you need to work more efficiently and profitably.

• JDLink brings the flexibility and convenience of automated equipment management to your desktop

• JDLink offers you a choice of telematics information systems for locating and evaluating performance

• JDLink can provide you with real-time access to the vital signs (e.g., engine systems, equipment utilisation, fuel consumption) of your most valuable assets

Machine locationYour JDLink website features a machine location map together with a condition snapshot so you know where your equipment is … and what it’s doing.

Automatic status reportsThe comparison of variables such as machine utilisation, machine load, fuel consumption or machine speeds allows you to maximise equipment productivity.

Now you know!JDLink improves fleet management and online monitoring to help you reduce costs and improve fleet efficiency – all at the touch of a few keys.

Better by design.JDLink is comprised of a communication controller, a wiring harness and an antenna with both cellular and GPS capabilities. You can add a data logging device to retrieve even more information from John Deere equipment. Working together, these components provide machine location, utilisation, time, performance and maintenance information to a John Deere database that you can easily access from your PC.

A window of opportunity for fleet managers.With JDLink you always know where your equipment is and how it’s being used. But, that’s just the beginning. Depending on the version you choose, the system will:

• Enhance performance. By keeping tabs on the time your machines spend idling, working and moving from one field or job to the next, JDLink helps you to improve operations.

• Minimise costs. By providing fuel consumption analysis (e.g. fuel levels, usage per hour etc.) JDLink helps to lower your energy bill.

• Maximise productivity. JDLink’s CAN Bus technology allows remote access to engine service codes (temperature, rpms etc.) from your office. As a result, you can instruct operators to perform adjustments and make changes that may be required to improve efficiency.

• Protect assets. By setting physical limits (e.g. pre-defined working areas and hours) and posting maintenance and other alerts, JDLink eliminates problems before they can occur.

JDLink Ultimate: Advanced telematics for John Deere tractors and forage harvesters.

JDLink Ultimate provides all the popular advantages of JDLink Select. But, thanks to CAN-Bus technology, it also adds a new dimension in fleet-management functionality for both John Deere 6030 – 9030 Series tractors and 7050 / 7000 Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters.

A system for all seasons.Being able to connect directly to your vehicle communication network (CAN) enables JDLink Ultimate to deliver detailed data on your fleet and how it is being used. Now you can stay in control of your fleet – all year long.

The inside story.JDLink Ultimate is also more revealing than JDLink Select when it comes to gauging equipment performance. It can, for example, let you compare a machine’s working hours with its idling time. Its ability to access service codes gives you the ability to prevent potential engine damage and JDLink Ultimate makes light work of evaluating low-load, medium-load, and high-load work levels.

8 JDLink Telematics Features and Benefits

It tracks ground speeds and furnishes alerts as they would appear on the monitor of a John Deere Tractor or SPFH. With JDLink Ultimate you can better compare your machines.

As you like it.Another important feature is the system’s ability to report predefined settings. This may include:• Reports on idle times that exceed 15 minutes• Reports on tractors that run at 2,300 rpm for more than 20 minutes• Reports on fuel levels that dip below 15%

Now, you can get almost any machine data you want. Thus it’s easier to pick the most appropriate John Deere equipment for the job at hand.

The benefits of JDLink Ultimate:• Its versatility across John Deere equipment ensures year-round usability• It provides an ideal way to improve maintenance support• It monitors fuel levels and fuel consumption• It prevents misuse by remotely accessing service codes and observing component pressures

and temperatures
