Real-time machine diagnostics at your fingertips
Proemion's Cloud CAN Connector Solution connects you to machines remotely via the cellular network, delivering lower costs, enhanced efficiency, and reduced downtime.
Using bi-directional machine-to-cloud communication, our OEMs:
- Reduce service department costs - by remotely reading and diagnosing mobile machine data, costly on-site visits become unnecessary.
- Enhance the customer experience - by instantly reacting to customer requests, the customer service experience vastly improves.
- Avoid/reduce customer downtime - service technicians, working remotely, diagnose problems the instant they occur, reducing or eliminating downtime entirely.
Some issues associated with on-site, direct cable connection
In our digital age, on-site physical cable connections for service diagnostics are no longer necessary or desirable. Some of the issues associated with connecting to machines physically include:
Cost
Sending a technician to the site to make a direct cable connection to access a machine’s CAN bus and diagnose problems is costly. Travel costs, labor costs, costs for time wasted all add up and ultimately have to be paid for by your customer.
Inefficiency
Connecting your service tool to your customer’s machines via a cable connection is the “old-fashioned” way of carrying out fault diagnosis. Your customers see you as out of touch and lagging behind currently available technology.
Downtime
Your customers hate nothing more than downtime - it severely impacts production and leads to frustration and even anger.
This means unhappy customers and unnecessary extra costs that can easily be avoided by using remote diagnosis.
Remote Service using Cloud CAN Connector Solution
Using our Cloud CAN Connector Solution eliminates the issues associated with sending technicians to your customer’s site to make physical connections to machines.
Our Cloud CAN Connector Solution remotely connects service tools with CAN-based mobile machines worldwide.
- Machine telematics data is collected by the CANlink® mobile Telematics Control Unit (TCU) and uploaded to the cloud via the cellular network.
- Data is accessed and displayed in service tools (existing or Proemion’s), enabling machine diagnostics to be run remotely and in real-time.
- Instantly available globally, diagnostic data supports fast error detection and prevention.
Cost Reduction
Many errors can be rectified without costly travel time, on-site time, and on-site repairs. You save money, and your customer saves money as a result.
Increased Efficiency
You deliver an enhanced service to your customers. You gain a competitive advantage by showing your work in your customers’ best interests using the most efficient technology available.

Which Service Tool? It’s YOUR choice...
We believe our Cloud CAN Connector Solution should be flexible enough so you can work the way you want to work. Therefore, we collaborate with major controller manufacturers, such as Danfoss and Bosch Rexroth, to ensure you’re able to work with the CAN-based service suite you already know. Alternatively, we offer you the opportunity to work with Proemion’s own Remote Service Tool if you feel it more closely matches your needs.
