JLG Upgrades ClearSky Platform

JLG has added three features to its ClearSky Smart Fleet platform.

“This is about transforming telematics from a physical world to a digital one,” said Ara Eckel, director of product management for connected solutions. “With JLG ClearSky Smart Fleet, we’re not just helping our customers manage their equipment from a dot on a map; we’ve created an interactive platform that provides them with real-time, actionable insights that enhance their operational efficiency.”

New ClearSky features

• Digital Analyzer Reader: Technicians can now use their mobile devices to retrieve machine data. It allows users to generate and share one-page machine summaries, including setup parameters, fault logs and diagnostics. New features and improvements can be pushed seamlessly.
• Automatic Site Networks: By leveraging Bluetooth mesh technology, this feature enables equipment to automatically connect when it arrives on-site. It provides real-time visualization of equipment movement and notifies users when machines enter or leave a sit.
• Elevation-Based Localization: Soon to be available, barometric pressure sensors embedded in ClearSky Smart Fleet beacons allows users to pinpoint whether a machine is above or below the user. This prevents unnecessary trips searching for equipment in multi-level buildings and helps technicians locate machines accurately.
