Honors customer Precision Demolition for commitment to safety and innovation through fleet management solutions
IRVING, TEXAS (September 28, 2015) – On Friday, Sept. 25, leaders from HOLT CAT®, Caterpillar® and Precision Demolition gathered together at Precision Demolition’s headquarters in Lewisville to celebrate the deployment of VisionLink™, a fleet management solution. This telematics technology enables customized health and utilization reports, provides additional onboard safety features, and can map fleet movements and overall machine capabilities.
“We are honored to be recognized by our HOLT and Caterpillar counterparts for deploying, what we see is, a vital addition in our fleet management solutions to our machinery,” said Aaron Smith, president and owner of Precision Demolition. “Through VisionLink, we monitor the amount of fuel burned, idle time, geo-location, and how our operators are following safety protocols, such as wearing a seat belt. This makes us operate leaner and safer for our customers’ projects.”
Statewide, HOLT CAT, the U.S.’ largest CAT dealer, has deployed approximately 10,000 heavy equipment vehicles with VisionLink—worldwide Caterpillar has supplied more than 300,000. Precision Demolition currently operates approximately 60 vehicles with this technology, and has plans to deploy this solution to more of their fleet in the future.
“As technology allows us to operate machinery with more safety features and more efficiency, we are working with our customers to help them adopt fleet management solutions such as VisionLink,” said Mike Grimm, vice president of machine sales in North and East Texas. “We are proud to partner with Precision Demo in ensuring our skilled workers operate world-class CAT machinery, with state-of-the-art network solutions.”
