Barko Hydraulics, a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of innovative heavy equipment solutions for the forestry, vegetation management and material handling industries, has introduced Barko Insight, a remote platform designed to monitor the performance of heavy machinery.

"Barko Insight uses real-time data to inform proactive maintenance and operating decisions for a single machine or an entire fleet," said Barko President, Justin Rupar.

"With this type of information at the fingertips of owners and operators, both will gain a better understanding of how their machines perform in real-time. This obviously directly impacts productivity optimization and the extension of equipment life."

Barko Insight is available on new Barko equipment and comes with a free 1-year subscription. Barko Insight includes an intuitive dashboard, providing real-time insight into how a machine is running, with automatic alerts if performance metrics slip below normal operating conditions.

Key benefits include:

• Detailed Performance Monitoring. Knowing exactly what's going on under the hood allows owners to make smart maintenance decisions.
• Automatic Alerts. Receive notifications if performance falls below normal operating conditions.
• Geofencing. Receive automatic alerts when machines enter or exit a geofence boundary.
• Remote monitoring 24/7. Access real-world usage data, increase uptime and optimize operational productivity.

"Barko machines are built tough, built to last, and with Barko Insight, they're now built to work smart," Rupar said.
