ENHANCED RELIABILITY THROUGH DATA AND CONNECTIVITY
Data and fleet expertise keep you in control
From knowing where your shipment is to ensuring trucks are running at peak performance and temperature, data is a strategic asset that keeps you reliable and on the move. Whether you have extra compliance worries, short delivery windows to meet, seasonal surges, or concerns about maintaining quality in perishable products, staying connected with data can help. By using the vast amounts of information obtained from our digital solutions, you can improve the health of equipment, maximize fleet performance and improve uptime.
A CONNECTED FLEET
Connectivity increases visibility. And with the right digital solutions, you can marry the data off trucks with maintenance information to create better uptime, monitor your entire fleet at once, and begin to see patterns of codes that might indicate an issue. Without the ability to view all that data at once, you would never have the amount of information needed to reap the benefit.
A VISIBLE FLEET
Real-time visibility also gives you valuable insight. And using data from your trucks enables you to be more proactive, leading to a customized maintenance solution for improved fleet performance. Knowledgeable professionals use truck data to identify failure rates and shape preventive maintenance (PM) practices and keep their trucks on the road. They monitor combinations of vehicle fault codes to determine which ones might lead to a breakdown, then work with shops and customers to proactively schedule a truck for service to get ahead of potential issues and avoid unplanned downtime.
The data analysis process should factor in information such as the equipment’s operating environment, geography and mileage to better identify maintenance needs.
Because data improves remote diagnostics, technicians can be more prepared to get equipment fixed faster and get drivers back on the road. If a roadside event occurs, data from the truck can be used to pinpoint the truck’s location, secure the right service technician for the job and ensure appropriate tools are available.
Fleet connectivity also allows you to monitor the timeliness of PMs, how many trucks are in for repair, the number of road calls on a particular day and overall fleet maintenance costs. Customers can use the latest apps and tools to drill down into details such as which truck costs more and help determine the best fleet replacement strategy.
The aim is to use data to gain greater insight into fleet performance, improve the health of the vehicles and keep your fleet running smoothly. That means you can focus on delivering a fresher product on time. Taking multiple streams of information and making the data actionable helps deliver a better experience for your customers.
