Aug. 17, 2023

Use as an app, web portal, or API

JLG ClearSky Smart Fleet technology launches with 25 features into a single connectivity beacon on JLG machines for seamless back-and-forth interaction through its ClearSky mobile app, a web portal, or an API. Equipment owners and operators can send a prompt to the beacon to identify a machine’s status or perform diagnostics wirelessly through the mobile app.

“ClearSky Smart Fleet is...a true, two-way fleet management and communication platform that turns yesterday’s one-way data transmission into two-way interactivity that gets JLG equipment fleets talking like never before,” said Ara Eckel, director of product management for JLG’s connected solutions, in a statement.

Developed from the ground up, the app provides a modern mobile experience to manage data and machine interaction, even when cellular data and Wi-Fi are not available. Key features of the mobile app include:

FIND MY MACHINE activates audible and visual cues from the machine to enable equipment identification and location. Equipment owners and operators can light a specific machine’s beacon or honk its horn with the tap of a screen.
MACHINE STATUS INDICATION uses visual cues from the machine to allow equipment owners and operators to wirelessly identify a machine’s status.
DIGITAL ANALYZER performs diagnostics wirelessly with the built-in analyzer functionality that replaces the JLG wired handheld analyzer.
DIGITIZED INFORMATION provides access to targeted information, such as parts and technical manuals, to help solve service issues without moving a step.

The web portal features include:

DYNAMIC DASHBOARD that displays as much data as needed through a dynamic, action-oriented dashboard.
MACHINE LEVEL DATA supplies access to specific serial number and asset ID data, such as interactive schematics, knowledge articles, and technical manuals.
EXPORT generates reports and exports the overview dashboard as a PDF or Excel file.
UNIFIED LOGIN allows for single sign-on and access using Online Express credentials.
