The new range showcased at Bauma CONEXPO INDIA comes packed with ‘Intelli’ technologies – the Intelli-Control, Intelli-Compaction and the Intelli-Load, all having been designed keeping the customer in focus.
“Digital Technology is impacting our lives in more ways than we could have imagined. At JCB, we have pioneered the integration of Digital Technology in Construction Equipment. The new ‘Intelli’gent technology showcased will further improve the Productivity, Reliability and the Efficiency of our machines.

It also gives information on the amount of fuel in the tank and along with upcoming Service reminders.
The JCB 116 Soil Compactor is a first in the industry to have Intelli-Compaction integrated with Livelink. Intelli-Compaction provides Relative Compaction value, which helps in achieving consistent and uniform compaction throughout the patch. The digital display shows High/ Low frequency and Amplitude values for compaction control.
The Intelli-Load in the JCB455ZX Wheeled Loader helps in the real time monitoring of individual weight of the loaded bucket, total Accumulated Weight, and Number of loaded buckets.
The Intelli-Control, Intelli-Compaction and Intelli-Load are all integrated with Livelink, our advanced Telematics Technology, which enables predictive maintenance, location and monitoring to achieve high uptime of the equipment. This is an Industry first feature, enabling transmission of the monitored values to a server for analytics and report generation.
“Further, through our mobile applications such as Smart Serve and the JCB Genuine Parts Mobile application, we are revolutionising the way our Dealers, Customers, and JCB communicate in real time, thus aiming for higher equipment uptime through world class product support.” said Mr. Vipin Sondhi, MD and CEO, JCB India Limited.
