Caterpillar Inc. eRoutes App for Asphalt Paving
This application for smartphones and the web allows paving contractors to track the location and productivity of haul trucks as they travel between the asphalt plant and jobsite. • Paving contractors can open up the app and quickly see where their trucks are and when they will arrive to a jobsite • Provides location tracking by placing devices at the plant and on the paver or material transfer vehicle that create a geofence at these locations • Trucks also outfitted with a small device that is constantly pinging its
GPS location • Geofence devices enable you to instantly see when a truck enters or leaves the jobsite or asphalt plant • Geofencing functionality also eliminates the hassle of a paper ticket by logging them electronically instead
