As part of our daily lives, we expect all connected devices to automatically update themselves. It gives us peace of mind that our computers and phones are protected against the latest cyber threats and bugs, receiving improved functionality and performance. Cummins Inc. products are no different, with over-the-air (OTA) updates* available for your engine today. Modern powertrains are complicat

Remote diagnostics and prognostics monitor and diagnose the condition of an engine in real time using data sent from the asset's sensors and control modules. This data can be analyzed to identify faults and predict when future faults are likely to occur. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) was first used in the Royal Air Force in the previous century. The idea was to plan maintenance according to

In today's world, technology has revolutionized most aspects of our lives, and the transportation industry is no exception. The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about a major shift in the transportation industry, with data and analytics being the driving forces behind it. One such technological advancement is the remote monitoring of trucks and other commercial vehicles, enabled by smart engin

Invented in the 1890s, diesel engines have been powering our world since soon after Rudolf Diesel filed his first patent.
