John Deere is improving the features in the digital John Deere Operations Center to enhance the experience for contractors. These updates allow users to access comprehensive job site data and machine health information, empowering them to make real-time decisions that drive profitability. John Deere says it is committed to investing in the digital experience, building out existing tools like the Operations Center and Equipment Mobile with new features. 

• Custom alerts: Contractors can be alerted when idle time, speed, or fuel levels exceed limits. These alerts enable proactive planning, ensuring fuel usage and maximizing job site productivity.
• Job sites with Summary Cards: Monitors job sites in near real-time with Jobsite Manager and Summary Cards. Contractors can easily create, track, and optimize job sites to improve productivity and efficiency. Paired with Summary Cards, contractors can monitor progress, fuel consumption, and machine locations, driving profitability and enhancing operational performance. Job sites can also be automatically created when the automatic toggle is on.
• Machine analyzer updates: Provides default reports to track operator use of grade control and its impact on productivity as well as payload weighing.
• Remote display access: Facilitates remote monitoring and operator support, allowing control of the display and adjustment of settings to enhance productivity and maximize machine uptime.

Equipment Mobile enhancements and features

There are new solutions available to help keep the job site running smoothly with easier maintenance. The Maintenance Plan Auto Assignment within Equipment Mobile assists dealers to proactively plan and provide maintenance solutions to ensure equipment is readily available. With this feature, contractors can add factory maintenance plans to their machines, see specific parts needed for service, streamline maintenance sets, and empower contractors to manage their machines efficiently. 

Using feedback from John Deere contractors, the added features and enhancements directly address challenges industry professionals face every day. “Our customers voiced their needs for solutions that help provide additional job site monitoring and analysis to manage costs, optimize productivity, and ultimately increase profits,” said Katie Voelliger, product marketing manager, John Deere. “With the introduction of new features within the Operations Center, our customers can now monitor their fleet more effectively than ever before. This not only helps maximize productivity, it empowers operators and fleet supervisors to fully leverage their technology investments on the job.”
