Understanding data insights (predictive maintenance)
Leverage automated, data-driven alerts to catch battery or oil issues before they cause breakdowns.
Electrical System Rating (ESR) – Alerts users when the Electrical System Rating of an asset drops to or below 15 out of 100. This indicates a potential need to inspect the asset’s battery and electrical connections.
Oil Life Remaining – Estimates the remaining oil life based on asset-specific data and driving behaviors. Oil Life Remaining calculates the optimal time for an oil change, aiding in maintenance planning and asset care.
You cannot adjust when these insights will trigger. They are based on data models created by Geotab and are not set up to be edited.
