bauma CONEXPO India (bC India) is a noteworthy exhibition which takes place once in every two years in India. It has garnered a lot of interest from the industry as we see many leading players showcasing their latest range during the four-day event.

This edition, JCB has planned an exciting line up of machines which will exhibit our commitment to innovation and technology. Our objective is to reinforce our position as a full range infrastructure equipment partner by showcasing class-leading product solutions which exhibit innovation in design, performance, efficiency and safety including telematics.

We will also showcase the entire range of our products. Focus will also be on showcasing the integration of advanced digital technologies in our entire product range. Many first in the industry technologies in products will be showcased.

Also, in order to make compaction operation as efficient as possible, the company has come up with a new concept known as ‘Intelli-Compaction’ in JCB116, another industry first from JCB India. It provides relative compaction value which helps in achieving consistent and uniform compaction throughout the patch. The digital display shows high/low frequency and amplitude values for compaction control. The system is suitable for both asphalt and soil surface.

Additionally, with the advent of digital technologies, users can now control their entire fleet in real time and all critical machine information is available on their smart devices in the form of digital applications such as JCB Livelink app, JCB Smart Serve App and Smart Machine Diagnostics app. As we go ahead, we will continue to utilise smart and revolutionary technologies to offer benefits to customers and end users.

We are providing the latest solutions based on the evolving customer trends through integrating ‘Internet of Things’ through our advanced Telematics Technology, Livelink. The JCB Livelink technology helps remotely monitor and manage machines. Users, dealers and JCB get SMS alerts on their phones regarding the service, operations and security of their machine. The data stored over a period of time gives vital information to the customer in terms of number of hours the machine has been operational, service intervals, fuel levels, malfunctions if any, etc.

To monitor these machines in real time, we have set up a world-class command centre at our Delhi-NCR facility. Our dealerships have also set up similar Livelink command centres to ensure real-time support is provided to the customers as they can now plan for service schedules and also engage with users and customers in preventive maintenance.
