Connected Caterpillar Generator Cloud Solutions: – Air-EMCP
Do you have generators operating in the field where you experience problems because of a lack of information?
Air-EMCP The Air-EMCP solution is a cloud based service that allows the user to remotely monitor and control Caterpillar generators fitted with an EMCP. It is an end-to-end, connected asset solution that includes on-asset hardware, communications connections, web-based services and strong customer support.
The Air-EMCP is an after-market solution that has evolved from over a decade of industry experience and it is fully integrated, so you can focus on running your business more efficiently.
The Air-EMCP solution is a complete, flexible and high performance platform that provides efficient generator operation and maintenance. It is the ideal solution for the M2M market where remote monitoring, control and data logging are required.
Do you have generators operating in the field where you experience problems because of a lack of information?
- The generator EMCP display is not available to the operators while the generator is running?
- The EMCP data is only available locally, at the generator?
- Technicians and maintenance personnel are not able to remotely diagnose events?
- The SCADA system only displays common alarms and shut downs, but does not give detailed information?

Features
Features of the Air-EMCP solution are:
Benefits of the Air-EMCP solution are:
The Air-EMCP mobile App is developed for iOS and Android. It can be downloaded free from their respective stores.
The App provides direct access to generator parameters and events in real-time. The App allows the user to manage one or more generators by organising generators into areas or groups. For each generator, all the EMCP parameters are monitored. The user can create lists of favourite parameters that can be accessed immediately. The users have mobility in being able to remotely monitor and control the generator. The App displays real-time generator parameters and events.
Web Portal
The Air-EMCP is part of the BESST Industrial Internet of Things (I2oT) system and it can be easily integrated to other services and products. The web portal provides the control and monitoring of extensive installations with the possibility of hundreds of devices. The portal uses a robust infrastructure for data security and has web centre for tools and automated services.
Air-EMCP Gateway
The Air-EMCP Gateway is installed at the generator and it is connected to the Modbus port on the EMCP.
The Air-EMCP Gateway connectivity is flexible because it can be configured to connect to the portal through any of the following networks:
Gateway Specifications
Communications
Features of the Air-EMCP solution are:
- It is suitable for EMCP 3.2, 3.3, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.
- The generators may be monitored from either a mobile device, a tablet or a computer.
- The generators may be monitored individually and can be grouped according to sites.
- The Air-EMCP solution can be retro-fitted to existing generators.
- Generator data can be logged and scheduled to be sent via email at regular intervals.
- Generator events can be alerted via phone call, SMS or email.
- The portal connection can be either 3G/GSM, or LAN or WLAN. The connection can be independent of the site IT network.
- The portal uses a web interface, there is no additional software to install.
- User access can be password controlled and can provided as required for the installation; to operators, owners, technicians and vendor support personnel.
Benefits of the Air-EMCP solution are:
- Real-time generator parameters and events are provided directly to the users who need this information. The information is delivered direct to the user’s mobile device.
- More efficient site visits for service and break-downs because the event information can be diagnosed before leaving the work shop.
- Improved customer service.
- Improved generator availability.
- Easy identification of equipment abuse or improper operation.
- The solution can be completely independent of installed IT / SCADA systems. There is no requirement to interfere with existing communications and network infrastructure, saving possibly expensive and time consuming modifications.
