Cat CM Analytics Dealer Repair Planner Feedback We have had some good wins to date specifically relating to exhaust leaks, sensor issues, voltage drops and engine filter DP. In short the system is operating as an early warning system, we can detect and track issues before they reach level 1 or 2 in the VIMS on board module. Greatest fear is that the direct interaction and help from the Cat service team will go away in the future in favor of automated downloads
