What JLG’s Connected Machines Are Telling Us — And Why It Matters
They say data is the new oil. If that’s true, then JLG is tapping into a powerful reserve that’s reshaping the future of fleet management, machine design and rental strategy.
In the last year alone, machines equipped with the ClearSky Smart Fleet™ IoT platform have generated over 1.5 billion data points. That’s not just a flashy number. It’s a clear indicator that JLG® connected machines are doing more than lifting and moving — they’re talking. And, what they’re saying is already changing the game.
35+ Parameters, Thousands of Sites, One Intelligent Network
Every JLG machine with ClearSky Smart Fleet transmits insights on over 35 unique parameters, including:
- Ignition cycles
- Machine utilization
- Battery state of charge
- Diagnostic trouble codes
- Operating environment conditions
Now multiply that by tens of thousands of connected units across the globe. The result? A real-time, always-on stream of machine information, straight from the job site to equipment owners.
From Raw Data to Real-World Impact
But raw data isn’t useful until it’s applied. By examining the information that JLG machines provide, equipment owners and fleet managers can make more informed, evidence-based decisions.
For example:
- Service alerts help techs get ahead of maintenance issues, minimizing downtime
- Customizable dashboards show trends, manage ROI and fine-tune operations in real time
- Access-specific reports offer everything from job-site-level insights to company-wide performance benchmarks
It’s fleet management as a service and a strategy.
Shaping the Future, One Parameter at a Time
As more connected machines join the ClearSky Smart Fleet ecosystem, the scope and scale of this insight will only grow. And with the infrastructure in place to support AI and machine learning, JLG ClearSky Smart is laying the groundwork for intelligent automation, enhanced diagnostics and an entirely new business models.
