Machine View

Machine View monitors the machine position and provides a quick summary of the machine activity status, product level, and fuel/DEF levels.

Note:  The Machine View map displays transit paths in blue while application paths are shown in green.

Fleet Analytics

Fleet Analytics offers statistics on productivity and efficiency – acres per day, fuel consumption, transit/working/idle time breakdown, and more.

Viper® 4+ Communication Status

Viper® 4+ obtains fuel level, DEF level, and engine hour values from the machine if connected to the machine CANbus.
