KIOTI launches AI-powered connected services solution with new app
The predictive analytics tool on the KIOTI Connect app anticipates and prevents maintenance issues
KIOTI Tractor's new KIOTI Connect is an integrated vehicle technology app designed to improve connectivity for equipment owners. KIOTI specializes in compact and utility machines for agricultural work, construction, and landscaping, and its entry into the CTL and SSL market was one of Heavy Equipment Guide's Top Introductions of 2024.
KIOTI Connect provides users with real-time insights into equipment performance and location, enabling data-driven decisions for operations. With advanced AI-powered predictive analytics, the system anticipates and prevents potential maintenance issues, reducing downtime and boosting overall productivity.
Features on the KIOTI Connect app
One of the key features of KIOTI Connect is real-time monitoring, providing immediate visibility to machine health. Proactive alerts remind operators of scheduled maintenance tasks like oil changes or air filter replacements.
Additional services provided in the first phase of the app is the OpenAI artificial intelligence language model. The GPT-based solution is tailored specifically for the agricultural sector, which provides contractors with a method of accessing a wide range of information related to farm work and tractors.
Operators can track the location of each machine through their device, set up custom geofences, and remotely enable restart inhibitors.
To further unlock the potential of their machines, owners will soon be able to utilize KIOTI Connect to discover compatible attachments or access essential resources like maintenance schedules, manuals, and troubleshooting guides.
Currently, KIOTI Connect is compatible with RX Series, HX Series, and compact construction models free of charge for the first three years. After the initial period, users will have the option to continue with a subscription or discontinue the service.
"We're excited to introduce this AI-powered predictive analytics tool to help machine owners anticipate and prevent maintenance issues before they occur, increasing uptime and overall efficiency," said Youngjin Son, Sr. vice president and chief product technology officer of Daedong-USA, Inc., KIOTI Tractor Division. "Designed with contractor needs in mind, KIOTI Connect takes control of managing equipment location and operational status, simplifying machine ownership so operators can focus on the job at hand."
