Automated Warehousing & Fleet Management Systems

Modern wireless micro-processor based Fleet Management Systems are a little known "profit pocket"! They return your investment cost many times over. Within ten years, most forklifts will come out of the factory with these features. Find Out Why: We are installing Industrial Fleet Management systems, fleet utilization analysis tools, which address the significant cost and safety issues associated with forklifts, tow tractors, and other material handling equipment for $1000 per forklift.

That includes the unit microprocessor, the base unit, the wireless signal transmitters establishing your LAN network, your application software - complete systems - with factory service support included. If you prevent one accident, reduce maintenance costs by 3%, need one less forklift by increased efficiency, process orders 1% faster, reduce re-management by 5%, you've paid for the system. But you can do much better than that!

Systems quantify fleet utilization by monitoring each vehicle's movements -- who is driving, where, when, and how long. Reporting tools, including true peak usage graphs and visual playback of historical movements, identify underutilized vehicles for potential elimination. Dynamic access control, real-time solution location tracking, and two-way text dispatching capabilities provide management with the means to justify and support elimination of those vehicles -- and all costs associated with them. Wireless systems ensure compliance with vehicle safety regulations and significantly enhance fleet security management by providing dynamic driver access control, automated electronic vehicle inspection checklists, and impact sensors to establish driver accountability and reduce the costs of abusive driving.

Systems significantly reduce fleet maintenance costs through automatic detection and uploading of motion and idle time, automatic scheduling of preventative maintenance based on weighted factors, real- time notification of emerging repair issues identified by drivers, and (for electric vehicles) automatic software-based battery rotation management. Advanced wireless technology delivers multi-faceted solutions for industrial fleet management and can deliver a compelling ROI in many applications as demonstrated by the wide range of leading corporations and government agencies that have deployed the technology.

I instinctively know that micro-processors are big in the future of forklifts, because since the beginning, as a young guy walking around doing my sales for a family-owned forklift dealership, I was amazed at how dysfunctional most companies were from the focal point of the forklift - maintenance planned? Maybe? Safety training? Hit and miss. Cost of use and ownership? Who knows? Where are they? I'll have to go look for it. Confusion surrounded forklifts and continues to do so. And yet, they are expensive, big investments and critical to company functioning. There needs to be better control over forklifts - their rental, lease, purchase and eventual sale or disposal - the whole life cycle. Control comes only when company decision-makers have information about them. And that's what micro-processors do.
