How It Works

  1. 1VisionLink publishes via REST.
  2. 2Ignite Lean attaches to assets.
  3. 3Sensor thresholds raise WOs.

Recommended Workflows

How Caterpillar VisionLink works best with Ignite Lean. These are recommended patterns: Ignite Lean fires the trigger, and how Caterpillar VisionLink routes it (which work group, which device, which rule) is configured to your IT setup.

Engine hours drive usage-based PM
Trigger Caterpillar VisionLink reports runtime crossing a PM threshold
  1. 1Caterpillar VisionLink fires the hours event.
  2. 2Ignite Lean auto-creates a PM work order against the asset.
  3. 3A tech sees the full asset history (failure codes, MTBF, last PM) on the kiosk.
PM cadence tracks actual usage, not a calendar guess.
Impact event raises a safety WO
Trigger Caterpillar VisionLink reports a forklift impact
  1. 1Caterpillar VisionLink fires the impact event with the asset + operator.
  2. 2Ignite Lean opens a safety + corrective WO immediately.
  3. 3The asset gates from kiosk use until cleared.
Damaged equipment cannot quietly stay in service.
