Activecare Direct

How It Works

Using CareTrack®—the Volvo telematics system—thousands of machine data points are captured and sent to the Volvo Uptime Center. A team of data analysts then uses a proprietary system to monitor and analyze machine health in real time. This ensures those most familiar with the machine are the ones keeping an eye on it for you.

24/7/365 ACTIVE MACHINE MONITORING

With ActiveCare Direct, there's no need to decipher raw data or react to a flood of alarm codes. Volvo does it for you.

Get Alerts Only When They're Important
Volvo or your local dealer will alert you when action is necessary so you can focus on the job, not the data.

Avoid Unplanned Downtime
Remote analysis helps catch problems before they happen, and allows for more efficient preventive maintenance scheduling to increase uptime.

Expedite Service
Remote diagnosis aids in one-trip repairs, so you get the proper staff and tools for the most efficient service.

ACTIVECARE DIRECT CUTS THROUGH THE NOISE

One reason that telematics is challenging is the abundant number of mahcine alerts that are delivered that may or may not require an action—leaving you unable to determine what's important and what's not. Here's how ActiveCare Direct is different:

Thousands of alerts from your machine are delivered to the Volvo Uptime Center.
Date is filtered and prioritized using a proprietary system.
Only a small fraction of alers are used to create cases that make their way to the dealer and customer.
An email is delivered with not only the alert itself, but a recommended solution and potential result if no action is taken.
