John Deere WorkSite
                The development of the John Deere’s new WorkSite system it is creating new and unique ways of optimizing the performance at a jobsite that involves the uses of John Deere manufactured heavy equipment. The Worksite program is to work the JDlink (John Deere link) telematics to connect with all the equipment you are using over your worksites; this will allow a direct link to either your phone or computer
                There are many ways that this program making a jobsite more optimal in many ways. One of the ways being that it track the people using the machines to make sure they aren’t letting the engine idle for too long and it can also set up virtual geo-fences in order to ensure the a piece of equipment has not moved to far out of its zone.  It also monitors things that can allow for better operating training, like the amount of time the equipment has spent in one gear.
                Aside from the human aspect, it also monitors the equipment itself to make sure it is being properly used and take care of.  It calculates the fuel the equipment has spent so they can make sure that it never runs of fuel. It also has load monitoring data that makes sure you have the right piece of equipment for the workload.
                This system will drastically improve the way jobsite managers using John Deere’s will keep track of everything that goes on in the worksite and will allow for greater optimization of every part of the worksite.
