Manages Undercarriage

Overview

Track Commander, based on the same layout design and functionality as Oil Commander, manages inspection results from the entire undercarriage and calculates wear rates, life expectancy, cost per hour and accurately forecasts component replacement. Preset limits enable alerts to be created when exceptions occur. This module is also designed to make parts ordering more easy and ensures full life is obtained from all track groups where inspections are maintained. Track Commander is fully integrated with all other Equipment Condition Monitoring tools and financial analysis.
