JCB is celebrating a major milestone with the news that 250,000 of its machines are now being monitored by its industry-leading LiveLink Telematics system.

Launched 12 years ago, LiveLink Telematics gives machine operators and fleet managers easy access to all data at the click of a button through an online portal and mobile app.

LiveLink enables machines to be monitored by JCB Uptime Centres across the globe to ensure JCB owners – whether individual operators or fleet managers receive world-class customer service and maintenance support.

New LiveLink technologies and features include:

LiveLink Fleet – enabling fleet operators to monitor vital information such as fuel consumption, faults and machine idle time to improve profitability as well as hit sustainability and environmental targets by monitoring carbon emissions.

JCB Operator app – allowing daily checks and inspection documents to be recorded and submitted digitally as well as storing useful manuals. This app can also be linked to LiveLink Fleet.

Loadall Safety – in addition to lap belt alerts, certain Stage V emission compliant models provide extra alerting including working with the telescopic boom at height, travelling at over 5kph and excessive overriding of the longitudinal load moment control.

LiveLink Tag - For tracking items without a power source, the LiveLink Tag is ideal in providing the location of attachments or implements. This Bluetooth tag communicates with LiveLink telematics hardware fitted to any JCB machine if it is within a 50m distance. The item is then visible to locate in the LiveLink telematics web portal.
