Easily view asset data from your Caterpillar equipment in T3 with the Caterpillar VisionLink integration. With a quick setup, you can bring select telematics data from VisionLink-enabled machines directly into your T3 Fleet platform via the AEMP Telematics Standard (ISO 15143-3), no additional hardware required.
For more information on the capabilities of AEMP integrations in T3, check out the T3 OEM Integrations Overview article.
What You Need Before You Start
The VisionLink integration requires a few pre-requisites to ensure a smooth setup.

An active T3 subscription is required.
