JLG ClearSky offers 25 features for machine management

JLG ClearSky Smart Fleet technology launches with 25 features into a single connectivity beacon on JLG machines for seamless back-and-forth interaction through its ClearSky mobile app, a web portal, or an 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 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,” said Ara Eckel, director of product management for JLG’s connected solutions, in a statement.

Developed from the ground up, the app provides a modern mobile experience to manage data and machine interaction, even when cellular data and Wi-Fi are not available. Key features of the mobile app include:

• FIND MY MACHINE activates audible and visual cues from the machine to enable equipment identification and location. Equipment owners and operators can light a specific machine’s beacon or honk its horn with the tap of a screen.
• MACHINE STATUS INDICATION uses visual cues from the machine to allow equipment owners and operators to wirelessly identify a machine’s status.
• DIGITAL ANALYZER performs diagnostics wirelessly with the built-in analyzer functionality that replaces the JLG wired handheld analyzer.
• DIGITIZED INFORMATION provides access to targeted information, such as parts and technical manuals, to help solve service issues without moving a step. 

The web portal features include:

• DYNAMIC DASHBOARD that displays as much data as needed through a dynamic, action-oriented dashboard.
• MACHINE LEVEL DATA supplies access to specific serial number and asset ID data, such as interactive schematics, knowledge articles, and technical manuals.
• EXPORT generates reports and exports the overview dashboard as a PDF or Excel file.
• UNIFIED LOGIN allows for single sign-on and access using Online Express credentials.
