JLG Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation [NYSE:OSK] and a leading manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers, has unveiled the ClearSky Smart Fleet platform in Europe.
This groundbreaking platform is set to redefine fleet management and machine interactivity, marking a significant leap from traditional one-way telematics to a comprehensive two-way Internet of Things (IoT) solution, says JLG.
The ClearSky Smart Fleet, designed as a dynamic and scalable IoT platform, offers unprecedented functionalities, deeper insights, and novel approaches to achieve more efficient operations. As a standard feature on most of JLG’s new equipment, it facilitates direct communication between the machine and its user, elevating the traditional telematics experience to new heights.
The platform introduces a suite of innovative features aimed at revolutionizing customer workflows. These include digitalisation of daily operations for improved efficiency, precise and effective machine localization, expanded service capabilities for additional equipment, optimized logistics through Automated Site Networks, and accessible, actionable insights on machines and fleets.
Accessible via a user-friendly mobile app or a customisable web portal linked to JLG’s 24/7 e-commerce site, Online Express, ClearSky Smart Fleet ensures seamless integration for users. The platform also supports mixed fleets by offering an advanced API data feed, allowing for the incorporation of its data into existing telematics systems.
James W. Hahessy, Product Manager – Connected Solutions at JLG EMEA, expressed the company’s vision behind the platform: “JLG built ClearSky Smart Fleet to help customers do their jobs faster, more effectively and
efficiently than ever before, so that they can reach new heights of productivity and profitability,”
“It’s a robust solution, purpose-built by JLG from the ground up and using feedback from customers to meet
their needs. With more than 25 features, it will make their fleet management tasks easier and
more efficient.”
With a commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation to technological advancements, JLG promises to evolve the ClearSky Smart Fleet platform further. This ongoing development aims to provide additional value to customers and maintain an industry-leading, user-friendly experience.
