Fleet Health Management introduces features to manage and monitor the health and availability of a vehicle by increasing productivity, quicker job completion, reducing vehicle wear and reduction in unplanned downtime.

Customers and fleet managers are always looking for ways to minimize the costs of their operations to improve margins and have confidence in machine availability for productive days. The most significant and often unexpected costs come in the form of unplanned downtime and part/labor cost. Fleet Health Management offers features and capabilities that will help to eliminate time when the machine is not at work.

First, is the inclusion of the all-new auto daily fluid level checks, fluid gain/loss sensing and auto machine warm-up. The machine will perform daily fluid level checks automatically, adding ease to the owner by ensuring checks are done reliably, every time the vehicle is started.

In addition, the machine will perform an auto warm-up to ensure the critical vehicle systems are cycled through and warmed prior to an operator putting a vehicle to work. Coupled with these features, the machine will detect if a sudden loss is experienced in one of the fluid systems and alert the operator and fleet manager to prevent catastrophic downtime.

For the first time ever, the fleet manager or other customer staff can verify the health of their equipment, start, and warmup all the systems of their fleet remotely, saving time and optimizing the operation. Through John Deere Operations Center, customers can designate employees in their hierarchy to manage the health of their fleet and remotely start vehicles to ensure the vehicles are warmed and ready to run for the day.

Building on the advanced object detection technology offerings, SmartDetect is available on John Deere Utility and Production Class Loaders, as a field kit or factory install. This technology provides visual and audible alerts to the operator, to increase situational awareness of people or objects around the machine. There is also a distinct audible alarm to alert the bystander.

• Builds upon our operator centered Advanced Vision System by incorporating smart obstacle intelligence on the job site
• Featured on the in-cab display are projected path lines when in reverse; the in-cab display will also show the operator potential hazards in close proximity
• Alerts operator and bystander through distinct audible alarms
  • Operator Alerts:
    • Alerts operator of all objects behind the loader
    • Provides unique audible and visual alerts when a bystander is detected
    • Alerts triggered on speed-based zones
  • Bystander Alerts:
    • Provides a unique external alarm to warn bystanders when they are detected in close proximity

Option code 6525 is required for SmartDetect. The rear counterweight and wide hitch with pin is required for SmartDetect. Option Code: 6525. See image below.

Overview

SmartWeigh™ is a John Deere designed and supported payload weighing solution that delivers accurate measurements, dynamic weighing capabilities, and is easy to calibrate. For those not sold on whether or not a payload weighing solutions is a fit for your application, John Deere offers a low cost 250-hour trial period that provides you full SmartWeigh™ capabilities to help enable you to make the decision.

Benefits

• Leading Accuracy: SmartWeigh™ provides operators with increased accuracy (+/- 1.5 percent) because of John Deere’s expertise knowledge of our loader’s kinematic properties and exact dimensions and specifications. This ensures near exact target weights are hit and efficiently loaded into feed mixers, trucks, hoppers, or processing plants. This also helps prevent the loader from having to go back to the pile to get more material or to dump excess material.
• Seamless Calibration: Unlike other payload weighing systems, SmartWeigh™ does not need to be calibrated with a known weight and is designed to be easy to complete without the help of a dealer. By going through an easy-to-follow calibration process in the machine monitor, the system will be ready to accurately weigh material.
• Dynamic Weighing: There’s no need to constantly lower and reraise the boom of the loader to determine the weight after tipping off material. Bucket capture height can be set anywhere from 15-90 percent of boom height and can be captured at any boom speed. The SmartWeigh™ system can automatically determine the new weight after tip offs, reducing the time it takes to load the exact amount of material.
• John Deere Designed and Supported: SmartWeigh™ is a John Deere designed and supported solution meaning if issues arise, the only call you need to make is to your John Deere dealer.
• JDLink™ Integrated: Integration of payload weighing data into JDLink™ means that you can access the data from nearly anywhere, not just within the cab of the machine.
• Factory and Field Kit Options: A range of options are available to equip John Deere utility loaders with SmartWeigh™ including fully integrating from the factory or adding through field kits. The 250-hour trial period enables you to utilize SmartWeigh™ for 250 machine hours and decide if you would like to easily add on the feature for the life of the machine after the trial period expires.
