"Hit Rate" = Number of parts ordered via Viz that are correct on first delivery. Target: 99.5%.
Having the tool is not enough. You need a "Parts Viz Workflow."
Let's put numbers to the concept. A single Caterpillar excavator (336) earns an average of $150–$300 per hour when working. parts viz caterpillar work
Scenario A (No Parts Viz):
Scenario B (With Parts Viz):
Over a 50-machine fleet, with 10 part-related delays per month, Parts Viz saves over $120,000 annually in direct downtime alone.
The frontier of "parts viz" is Augmented Reality. Emerging apps allow a mechanic to point a tablet or smartphone at a physical Caterpillar machine. The app overlays digital information onto the real-world view. "Hit Rate" = Number of parts ordered via
This "viz" capability transforms the workflow from a game of memory into a precise, guided process.
