Why does a delivered report not match VisionLink Productivity a day or two after?Why does a delivered report not match VisionLink Productivity a day or two after?

Reports are a snapshot in time, based on data available when the report is generated (three hours after shift-end). Reports are not sent again until new data is available.

The delay  may be caused by cellular connectivity and when an asset can off board data.

Another reason can be if a machine is powered off using battery disconnect instead of key switch.  Here, Cat Telematics may not be able to transmit data until the battery disconnect and key switch are turned back on.

Cycles occurring nearing the beginning and end of shifts are not present in shift summary or shift comparison reports for cases when cycles:

  • Start and finish outside of scheduled shift hours (before or after).

  • Start before a shift’s start time but finish before its end time.

  • Start and finish after shift-end, but before the report is generated (three hours after shift-end).
