JDLink

Quick definition

JDLink is John Deere's telematics system for construction and forestry equipment. It reports machine location, hours, fuel and alerts from connected Deere machines, viewable in John Deere's online tools and available to other software through an API.

What is JDLink?

JDLink is the connectivity and telematics service on John Deere construction and forestry machines. A telematics modem on the machine sends data to John Deere, where owners can see it in John Deere's online tools such as Operations Center and work with their dealer on service.

What data does it provide?

  • Machine location and geofence alerts
  • Engine hours and idle time
  • Fuel consumption and fuel level, where supported
  • Diagnostic trouble codes and machine alerts
  • Utilization and maintenance reminders

Available data depends on the machine model, its modem and the subscription in place.

Dealer support and remote diagnostics

With the owner's permission, John Deere dealers can use JDLink data to watch machine health and, on supported machines, run remote diagnostics. This can shorten the time it takes to get a down machine working again.

Getting data out of JDLink

John Deere provides API access to JDLink data, including an ISO 15143-3 (AEMP) feed, so fleet and maintenance software can read Deere machine data alongside other brands.

How goAardvark uses it

goAardvark brings JDLink readings into the same fleet view as your other OEMs, so Deere hours, location, fuel and alerts sit next to everything else you run.
