Caterpillar Integration for Equipment Tracking

Built for Cat equipment you already own

FleetWatcher uses the factory telematics already on your Cat machines, so you can see their locations without installing anything. Your company requests API credentials through your Cat dealer, and your AlignOps team connects the account and matches each machine before you go live. Cat's telematics reports less often than a dedicated GPS device and doesn't include engine data. If you need more frequent updates or engine data on a machine, FleetWatcher's own device plugs into Cat equipment with a Cat 14-pin harness.

Why paving contractors connect FleetWatcher to Caterpillar

Bring your Cat machines into the same view as your trucks and pavers, without checking another OEM portal.

No extra hardware for location

FleetWatcher reads the location data your Cat machines already send, so you don't need to install anything to see them on the map.

Built on an industry standard

The connection uses AEMP 2.0 (ISO 15143-3), the telematics standard Cat and other equipment makers support.

Updates on their own

Machine locations come in automatically on a regular schedule, with no exports or portal logins.

Your Cat account stays as-is

The connection only reads from Cat. Your dealer's view and your Cat settings don't change.

One fleet, one map

Cat machines show next to the rest of your equipment in FleetWatcher, so you can see what's on each jobsite.

FleetWatcher pulls each machine's identity, current location and hour meter from Cat's telematics. Each machine shows in FleetWatcher once it's matched to an equipment record.

FleetWatcher connects to Cat's telematics API using the AEMP 2.0 (ISO 15143-3) standard and checks for the latest machine data on a regular schedule. Your company requests API credentials through your Cat dealer, and the AlignOps team handles the rest. Book a demo and talk with a specialist to learn more today.

No. Data flows one way, from Cat into FleetWatcher. FleetWatcher doesn't send data back to Cat or VisionLink.

As often as Cat's telematics reports them, which is usually less often than a dedicated GPS device. For frequent updates or engine data, FleetWatcher offers plug-in devices with a Cat 14-pin harness.

Yes. FleetWatcher also connects to Komatsu and John Deere through AEMP 2.0, so a mixed fleet shows in one place.
