Robust Telematics Services and Digital Tools

Volvo’s Dig Assist machine control system for excavators uses the latest and most advanced sensor and GPS technology to deliver the accurate information you need in real time. This intelligence system helps your operators optimize their performance and maximize the productivity of your machinery.

• Active Control – Automated boom and bucket movements improve the accuracy and efficiency of the digging process.
• Start – Real-time data helps your operators determine when target depth/slope levels have been achieved, allowing for greater accuracy, faster completion times, and higher productivity.
• In-Field Design – GNSS and RTK navigation technology provides accuracy down to the centimeter on excavation jobs. This technology improves your ability to dig trenches and more complicated 3D shapes and eliminates the need for surveyors to mark out the excavation site.
• 3D – You’ll gain access to industry-leading 3D solutions suppliers and have the ability to import design profiles from external sources for project execution.
• On-Board Weighing – Receive real-time data regarding the bucket’s load. You can set limits for each truck/hauler type for optimal loading. You’ll also receive data regarding the total number of buckets unloaded in a predefined truck loading zone and total tonnage moved per shift or day.

Haul Assist gives you access to a variety of technology tools that will help you optimize the performance of your Volvo articulated haulers and boost your profitability.

• On-Board Weighing – Take control of your production and achieve peak productivity with real-time data regarding the payload of your articulated hauler.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System – Monitor the pressure and temperature of your tires from the cab to optimize the life of your tires.

Load Assist is the perfect tool for your Volvo wheel loader that will help you increase the efficiency of your operation while optimizing the performance of your wheel loader.

• On-Board Weighing – Say goodbye to guesswork while loading your customers with Volvo’s fully dynamic load weighing system. The system helps to eliminate overloading, underloading, reweighing, and increased wait times.
• Operator Coaching – Use your machine to its full potential with the Operator Coaching application. This app provides real-time guidance to the operator, helping them become more efficient while increasing the life of your machine.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System – Volvo’s tire pressure monitoring system can increase the life of your tires and improve your fuel efficiency by alerting you when your tires are not at the correct pressures.

Compact Assist provides robust technology to help boost the efficiency and profitability of your Volvo compactors. Your operators will have access to clear information and insights that will allow them to confidently monitor the progress of their work.

Features for asphalt compactors include:

• Pass Mapping – Your operators will have a clear view of their stop points and overlaps. This technology guides your operators through a uniform rolling pattern, allowing them to quickly and efficiently make adjustments that avoid over or under compaction.
• Temperature Mapping – Your operators can set the maximum/minimum pavement temperature ranges, and they’ll have access to a color-coded map of surface temperatures to avoid compacting at a mix temperature that is too hot or cold.
• Density Direct – Receive a real-time estimate of material density percentage to accurately measure the quality of the pavement as the job is being completed.

Features for soil compactors include:

• Pass Mapping – Easily view the areas you’ve already completed and the areas where compaction is still required. This saves time and prevents unnecessary work, which is especially beneficial when jobsites are very large.
• Stiffness Mapping – Your operator will be able to clearly see when a compaction project has been correctly completed across the jobsite. This mapping system will also detect any buried infrastructure and identify areas for improvement.

ActiveCare Direct and CareTrack Telematics Systems

You also have access to a wealth of real-time data that will ensure all the machines in your fleet keep running smoothly. There are two options available:

• CareTrack – CareTrack provides detailed, machine-specific data and reports on how each machine is being used and how efficiently your operators are working. This information will help you optimize your fleet and maximize productivity. You’ll have access to data on fuel consumption, machine utilization, excessive idling, and a variety of other useful items that will help your business be more productive and profitable.
• ActiveCare Direct – Volvo also provides a higher-tiered service called ActiveCare Direct. This service leverages all of the data contained in the CareTrack telematics system, but Volvo’s team of data analysts will monitor the data in real-time and alert McClung-Logan immediately if a machine requires attention, ensuring we’re able to respond promptly and minimize your downtime. With ActiveCare Direct, you also receive a monthly fleet utilization report containing information that can help you identify opportunities to improve worksite efficiency, minimize unexpected downtime, and detect potential issues before they arise.
