CAT LINK TECHNOLOGY
TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF MANAGING YOUR EQUIPMENT
Cat Link telematics technology helps take the complexity out of managing your jobsites by gathering data generated by your
equipment, materials, and people and serving it up to you in customizable formats.

PRODUCT LINK™
Product Link collects data automatically and accurately from your
assets – any type and any brand. Information such as location,
hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, maintenance alerts,
diagnostic codes, and machine health can be viewed online
through web and mobile applications.

VISIONLINK®
Access information anytime, anywhere with VisionLink. Use it
to make informed decisions that boost productivity, lower costs,
simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your
jobsite. With different subscription level options, your Cat dealer
can help you configure exactly what you need to connect your
fleet and manage your business without paying for extras you
don’t want. Subscriptions are available with cellular or satellite
reporting (or both).

Remote Services is a suite of technologies that improve your

jobsite efficiency.

Remote Troubleshoot allows your Cat dealer to perform

diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely,
pinpointing potential issues while the machine is in operation.
Remote Troubleshoot helps ensure the technician arrives with the
correct parts and tools the first time, eliminating additional trips to
save you time and money.

Remote Flash updates on-board software without a technician

being present, potentially reducing update time by as much as
50 percent. You can initiate the update when convenient,
increasing your overall operating efficiency.

The Cat App helps you manage your assets – at any time – right
from your smartphone. You can see your fleet location, hours,
and other information. You will get critical alerts for required
maintenance, and you can even request service from your local
Cat dealer.

 NEW SMART MODE

The new Smart mode, one of three

power mode settings, automatically
adjusts engine and hydraulic power for
the highest fuel efficiency – less power
for tasks such as swinging and more
power for digging. Operators can set
and store their power mode preference
using Operator ID. Owners can lock in
the mode they want their operators to
use to help manage fuel consumption.

KEYLESS PUSH TO START

The 313 uses a keyless push-button

engine start. This adds security for the
machine by using Operator ID codes
to limit and track machine access.
Codes can be entered manually, via an
optional Bluetooth® key fob, or using a
smartphone app.

CUSTOMIZABLE JOYSTICKS

Joystick function can be customized

through the monitor. Joystick pattern as
well as response can be set to match
operator preferences. All preferences
are saved with the Operator ID and
restored at log in. For additional
modifications to the function speed
(Gain) setting and balance refinement,
contact your local Cat dealer.

TOUCHSCREEN MONITOR

Most machine settings can be

controlled through the high-resolution
203 mm/8-inch touchscreen monitor. It
offers 42 languages and is easy to read
from the seat. A second 254 mm/10-inch
touchscreen monitor is available.
