CAT Vital Information Management System (VIMS)


The Vital Information Management System (VIMS) is a state-of-the-art onboard system with the following features:
  • Machine systems are monitored for the operator.
  • Payload productivity information is measured by the system and stored in onboard memory.

This information can be downloaded later for analysis.
Abnormal machine conditions and/or incorrect operation of the machine are identified. The diagnosis of these abnormal conditions will allow the operator to modify the operation of the machine in order to correct the problem. The service technician is able to schedule maintenance for the machine if the condition is not related to the operation of the machine.

Prognostic information that can help predict potential problems before failures can occur. This allows the maintenance of the machine to be scheduled during the preventive maintenance servicing interval.

The components of the typical VIMS are listed below:

  • VIMS electronic control module

  • VIMS keypad module

  • Display components

  • Switches

  • Sensors

  • Solenoids

  • Payload lamps

  • Warning lamps

  • Warning alarm
