www.concreteproducts.com January 2015 • 77 ULTIMATE UPTIME: TELEMATICS + REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS The Ultimate Uptime support solution aims to improve customers' profitability by maximiz- ing productivity and uptime while lowering operating costs. Introduced at ConExpo-Con/ Agg 2014 and featuring John Deere WorkSight, Ultimate Uptime is fully customizable through company dealers. The new support solution responds to cus- tomers' top priority for machines. "Downtime hinders productivity and reduces profitability. So we created Ultimate Uptime to keep their fleet[s] running and productivity high," affirms John Deere Construction & Forestry Director, Customer & Product Support Mark Germain. The Ultimate Uptime Base Package accom- panying nearly all John Deere machines, includes pre-delivery set-up and follow-up inspections, along with three years of Work- Sight's uptime optimization benefits. The defining Ultimate Uptime component, Work- Sight includes JDLink Ultimate telematics, which alerts customers and dealers of hours, location, geofencing, diagnostic trouble codes and maintenance tracking. Machine health prognostics analyzes data from JDLink, fluid analysis, and machine inspections, and then e-mails the dealer and customer with recom- mended solutions to avoid downtime. Remote diagnostics and programming capability enables dealers to read and reset diagnostic trouble codes, record machine performance data, and update software with- out a technician visit. When service visits are required, technicians can often arrive with the right parts to make the repair. Beyond the Base Package, dealers can tai- lor premium packages depending on the cus- tomer's precise needs. Premium packages may include extended warranties, planned main- tenance agreements, fluid sampling, loaner machines, on-site spare parts and other solu- tions. Additional Ultimate Uptime solutions can be financed with the machine or through revolving credit options. John Deere Financial has a full menu of customized business solu- tions to meet customers' cash flow needs.
