Volvo CE’s My Equipment provides vital information on machine hours, status, location and power consumption. Launched primarily for electric machines, it allows operators to monitor battery charging status remotely thanks to notifications alerting them if there is a disruption to charging. My Equipment can also connect to diesel machines, providing customers with additional information on fuel levels and more.
“We identified an urgent need for a reliable digital interface to support operators of electric machines. This is so that they can quickly and easily understand the real-time status of charging whenever they are away from the machine – either on a break or before they arrive on site. Operators will then feel more prepared to tackle a productive day. Customers with electric cars are used to monitoring charging status and other factors via their mobile phones. We want to match that with our own leading customer solution for the construction industry – built for the specific demands of a modern construction site.”
said Ben Ditchcreek, Service Owner, Sustainable Energy Services for Volvo CE.
Accessibility on any web browser or device makes it smoother to onboard new operators and quickly connect them to the status of all the electric machines on their worksites. These include Volvo CE’s range of electric compact equipment including the EC18 Electric, ECR18 Electric and ECR25 Electric excavators and the L20 Electric and L25 Electric wheel loaders, as well as the mid-size EC230 Electric excavator.
The first release of My Equipment is integrated into the CareTrack starter package, allowing for easy management of operator and machine access. Future releases will include additional features that will be part of a paid subscription service.
