MDS Introduces T-Link Telematics System

Jun 18, 2024 - one year ago

T-Link Telematics system is now a standard feature on all MDS machines.

T-Link allows dealers and end users the ability to stay connected to their fleet at all times. This allows monitoring of machine usage, critical machine information as well as optimizing machine performance and performing remote operator support.

For dealers who already have access to T-Link, any MDS machines that ships from January 2024 will show up on the T-Link home page, enabling access and monitoring as with other Terex machines. Each dealer’s login details will remain as their current login.

For dealers who are new to T-Link, they will be issued login details with an introductory training presentation. Following on from that, as soon as dealers receive their first machine equipped with telematics, they will be set up with a video conference with a dedicated T-Link specialist, to help navigate the system and give the opportunity to ask questions.

Key Features of T-Link

Enhanced Machine Uptime: T-Link ensures that your machines operate at peak efficiency, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
Enhanced Machine Management: The telematics system facilitates comprehensive management, offering real-time insights into the hours, location, and operational status of each machine in your fleet.
Enhanced Security and Visibility: T-Link provides robust security features, safeguarding your equipment while offering unparalleled visibility into machine activities.
Cost Minimization: By streamlining operations and providing valuable data for analysis, T-Link enables businesses to minimize costs and optimize resource allocation.

How T-Link Works
T-Link operates by connecting to a network of global positioning satellites, allowing operators to access and download machine data regularly via cellular and satellite networks. The system is activated on the machine, and data can be accessed from anywhere via a web-based portal on a PC, smartphone, or tablet.
The dual-band network, utilizing both cellular and GPS technologies, ensures seamless communication between the machine and the T-Link data center. The collected data is then stored for the lifetime of the equipment, providing a comprehensive historical record for analysis and comparison.

Data at Your Fingertips, 24/7
The T-Link data center acts as a repository for all harvested data, ensuring that valuable information is readily available whenever needed. From basic fleet management details to machine-specific alerts and production tracking, T-Link offers unparalleled access to critical data, empowering businesses to make informed decisions and foster growth.

T-Link represents the MDS remote monitoring and fleet management system, integrating the machines' inbuilt CANbus control system with satellite positioning and telematics software. This seamless combination provides a holistic approach to fleet management, catering to the fundamental needs of businesses while offering advanced features to stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

As industries strive for greater efficiency and sustainability, T-Link emerges as a pivotal tool to meet these evolving demands. It not only revolutionizes fleet management but also empowers businesses to make data-driven decisions, ultimately propelling growth in an increasingly competitive market.
