Cummins Engine Integration with Fleet Rabbit

Fleet Rabbit integrates with Cummins engines through Cummins Connected Solutions, which includes Connected Diagnostics and Connected Advisor. The integration works through telematics systems including Cummins Acumen devices, third-party telematics providers (Zonar, Geotab, Verizon Connect), or OEM-integrated telematics. Cummins electronic engines continuously transmit diagnostic data through these telematics systems to Cummins' cloud platform, where proprietary algorithms analyze engine performance, evaluate fault codes, and generate expert maintenance recommendations. Fleet Rabbit connects to Cummins' API to receive this intelligence in real-time, including immediate fault alerts when urgent engine issues occur, daily and monthly health reports from Connected Advisor with prioritized recommendations, predictive insights notifying you when components are likely to fail before breakdowns happen, and INSITE diagnostic data from shop technicians performing repairs. All Cummins diagnostic information automatically syncs to Fleet Rabbit where it's integrated with your maintenance records, work orders, inspection schedules, and parts inventory. When Connected Diagnostics detects a critical fault, Fleet Rabbit creates an emergency work order automatically with the fault description, Cummins' recommended action, affected system, and urgency level. For predictive insights warning of impending component failures, Fleet Rabbit schedules preventive maintenance during the next available service window, ordering necessary parts in advance so repairs happen efficiently before failures occur. The integration supports all Cummins electronic engines across on-highway trucks, vocational vehicles, buses, and industrial equipment, providing unified engine monitoring regardless of vehicle application or configuration.

Cummins Connected Diagnostics is a wireless engine monitoring system that connects Cummins electronic engines to Cummins' cloud platform for immediate diagnosis of engine fault alerts. When a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is detected by the engine control module (ECM), Connected Diagnostics transmits the fault information through the vehicle's telematics system to Cummins within seconds. Using proprietary algorithms developed from over 100 years of engine manufacturing expertise and analysis of millions of engine hours of operational data, Cummins evaluates the fault code in the context of the specific engine model, application, operating conditions, and maintenance history. The system then generates clear, actionable recommendations that explain what the fault means in plain language, identify the root cause of the problem, specify whether immediate service is required or if it can be scheduled, provide step-by-step troubleshooting guidance, and recommend specific repair actions with estimated repair times. These expert recommendations are sent immediately to operations managers via email and through Fleet Rabbit's interface, allowing fleet managers to make informed decisions within seconds of fault occurrence. For urgent faults that could cause engine damage or vehicle breakdown, Connected Diagnostics provides immediate notification so you can take action before progressive damage occurs—pulling the vehicle from service, dispatching mobile repair, or allowing the driver to complete their current trip based on the specific fault severity. For less critical issues, the system helps you schedule maintenance efficiently during regular service intervals. Connected Diagnostics significantly reduces diagnostic time, eliminates guesswork about what repairs are needed, prevents unnecessary repairs by identifying actual root causes, and reduces downtime through faster, more accurate troubleshooting.

Yes, through Cummins Predictive Insights which use industry-first asset-based prognostics to predict component failures before they occur. Unlike traditional reactive maintenance that only addresses problems after faults are detected, Predictive Insights continuously analyze engine performance data to identify patterns that indicate components are degrading and likely to fail in the near future. The system monitors key engine components including turbochargers, fuel injectors, sensors, aftertreatment systems, and other critical parts, learning normal operating patterns for each specific engine and detecting when performance deviates from expected behavior. When prognostic models determine a component is likely to fail within days or weeks, Fleet Rabbit receives a predictive alert that includes the specific component predicted to fail, confidence level of the prediction, estimated time until failure, recommended replacement or repair action, and parts needed for the repair. Fleet Rabbit uses this advance warning to schedule preventive component replacement during planned maintenance windows rather than experiencing unexpected breakdowns. For example, if Predictive Insights determines a turbocharger is showing signs of degradation and will likely fail within two weeks, Fleet Rabbit schedules turbocharger replacement during the vehicle's next scheduled PM service, orders the replacement turbocharger in advance so it's available when the vehicle arrives, and notifies the maintenance team of the upcoming repair so they can plan shop capacity accordingly. This proactive approach avoids the costly consequences of component failures including roadside breakdowns requiring expensive towing and mobile repair, secondary damage to other engine components when a failed part causes progressive damage, lost revenue from unplanned vehicle downtime, and emergency after-hours repair costs. Fleets using Predictive Insights with Fleet Rabbit typically see significant reductions in unplanned downtime, lower repair costs through planned maintenance scheduling, and extended engine lifespan through timely preventive interventions.
