It\u2019s estimated that Caterpillar is connecting assets every five minutes, or roughly 6,500 per month. That number is expected to grow exponentially.<\/p>\n
Bringing in the data from those connected assets is good, but having a \u201cdata translator\u201d like Suba Ramani to make sense of it is what you\u2019d call a major key.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe turn the data to English from zeroes and ones,\u201d Suba says. \u201cYou just realize how many different ways there are to slice and dice the data, and we can\u2019t get enough of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her team will do everything from distributing the raw data to Caterpillar\u2019s engineering groups to combing over to giving reports to customers on what they should be doing to help optimize their fleet.<\/p>\n
Suba is also part of the team working on Caterpillar\u2019s digital platform, which will allow customers to access information about their fleets in one convenient location.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe platform is hopefully going to be one hot place where all this information comes in and goes out,\u201d Suba says.<\/p>\n
