Takeuchi-US has launched Takeuchi Fleet Management (TFM), its new Telematics system. This is Takeuchi?s first step in a multifaceted initiative to know their customers better. With the launch of TFM, Takeuchi along with its dealers and customers will have visibility into their equipment like never before. The new monitoring system checks the health of Takeuchi equipment and minimises costly repair calls with real-time machine information. Features include remote diagnostics that reduces service trips by capturing run hours and equipment data. Utilisation tracking allows the operator to make decisions based on actual equipment use, while also scheduling maintenance based on run hours.
