Overview

A custom industrial computer that replaces the original electronic control unit on Caterpillar gas generators. Built to last in the heat, vibration, and dust of a generator skid — and to do more than the OEM unit at a lower cost. Already running at enterprise sites for over a decade.

What it does for you

One controller upgrade gives you better diagnostics, cleaner data logs, and a much more affordable spare-parts path than the original Caterpillar hardware. Connects to your existing network so you can monitor your generators from a central location. Sites that switched have stayed switched — units installed in 2014 are still running today.
