JLG launches fleet connectivity across range

JLG Industries is offering its new connectivity service ClearSky Smart Fleet as standard on most of its new equipment.

The IoT (Internet of Things) technology has been launched with 25 features, including analysers, telematics and productivity applications into a single connectivity beacon.

As JLG explained, It is designed to provide seamless back-and-forth interaction through the ClearSky mobile app, a user-friendly web portal or an advanced 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 bold, new frontier in fleet connectivity,” said Ara Eckel, director of product management for JLG’s connected solutions. “It’s 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.”

Eckel added that ClearSky Smart Fleet is more than a singular piece of software. “It is built as a robust, constantly evolving IoT platform capable of delivering new functionality, new insights and new ways to run more efficient, cost-effective operations.”
