Cat Trial 14: The Technological Evolution of Cat Machines

It’s not just innovation for innovation’s sake. Caterpillar Inc. puts in the effort to make operators’ lives easier and Cat Trial 14: After Hours shows how they’ve done it, especially in the past 50 years.

Tom Bucklar, vice president of CAT Digital, and the Caterpillar Inc. team tell Equipment Today Editor-in-Chief Kathy Wells about some of the technology that features prominently in Cat Trial 14: After Hours. This behind-the-scenes interview at Cat’s Tinaja Hills proving grounds in Arizona gives you more information on:

VisionLink. Dating back to the telematics connectivity started in the 1990s, Cat dealers are monitoring millions of connected assets for their customers. Visitors can learn more about VisionLink online.

Cat Grade Control. A prototype of the very first 1968 era remote, machine control technology is seen in the video. That original technology has since developed into a must-have, which customers can learn about from their Cat dealer.
