Telematics

Being proactive about maintenance sounds great, but to make it work you need solid data and metrics on issues like cost per hour and the reasons why repairs were made.

Relying on technology to enforce safe practices and inform reactive measures.

Entitled Rail Pulse, the joint venture’s stakeholders include: a Class I railroad, Norfolk Southern; a provider of railcar products and services, Trinity Rail; an equipment finance company focused on railcar operating leasing in North America and Europe, GATX Corporation; short-line railroad carriers Genesee & Wyoming; and a transportation service company that owns and operates a diverse network of short line railroads, terminals, ports, and mechanical shops across North America and Australia, Watco. The objective of Rail Pulse, according to its...

Maintenance is rapidly evolving toward a digital point, starting with training and extending all the way to well-maintained equipment.

Today’s telematics and fleet management tools allow lift truck owners to accurately monitor and measure truck data to make operational decisions that improve maintenance, reduce energy cost and maximize operator productivity—all resulting in a lower total cost of ownership.

The shiny new technology may be autonomous lift trucks, but the driverless truck is far from the only trend—and may not be the best step for some operations. Other technologies, including fleet management and telematics, cameras and virtual reality training present a spectrum of technologies that can make lift truck operations more efficient.

Innovation makes it easier to identify waste and inefficiencies while meeting customer demands and minimizing operational disruption.

Continental Tire needed a technology-based solution to provide greater lift truck fleet visibility and drive process optimization. The telemetry solution needed to address four key areas.

Modern talked to five leaders in the lift truck industry to find out what they expect the future will bring to the market.

This white paper how an increasingly advanced supply chain can affect forklift safety.

Careful planning and incremental development are the surest way to ensure fleet management initatives produce the desired results.

Infographic illustrates how to use technology to stay productive while ensuring safe operations.

Attend this webinar to learn more about today’s Telematics options, and the dramatic cost and performance benefits when Telematics technology is tightly coupled with network-based planning & execution in a Telematics-Enabled Control Tower.

With or without telematics, disciplined assessments of a forklift fleet and its batteries can improve facility operations as well as the broader supply chain.

Data will prove whether a fleet operates as efficiently as it seems, or if opportunities are hidden beneath the status quo.
