Transmission calibrations on CAT trucks are a good example of a job that gets easier when the tooling is built with the task in mind. This Bluetooth transducer kit was created for BHP in conjunction with LiveTest, and it is put together to take the guesswork out of the calibration.
Marked physically and named digitally
Every transducer in the kit is physically marked to show exactly where it goes on the transmission. Each one is also named digitally, so when it connects to the iPad the screen tells you which transducer it is. There is no working out which reading belongs to which position, which makes a job like this quicker to run and easier to get right.
Labelled for a simple re-order
Working with the site, the kit was also labelled with the corresponding Material numbers. It is a small detail that pays off later: if a part ever needs to be re-ordered, the number is right there on the kit, so there is no chasing it up from scratch.
Download the app and start using it
Most sites already have plenty of smart devices on hand, and this tooling is built to suit that. Maintenance personnel download the free app, connect the kit, and get straight into the task. There is nothing specialised to set up and nothing extra to buy to get it running.
