Lift Truck Utilization, Real-time Monitoring
General
The terms FMS "Fleet Management System" or VMS "Vehicle Management System" means many things to many people.
Monitoring lift truck utilization may not provide you with a meaningful data as to how many loads the operator moved that day, pallets stored, pallets received, the ratio of available hours and hours used ( ignition on time, lift time) etc.
The manner in which material is handled and lift truck operational data is measured will have vastly different and unrelated productivity rate.
The key element of true lift truck fleet management solutions is to understand of what you want to measure to produce positive bottom line results with little up front investment and a relatively short payback.
Problem
In order to achieve the best results it's necessary to manage material handling fleet operations at a lower level and in the final analysis it's "Report productivity results in terms of the lift truck utilization measure in real-time on an individual operator basis".
The most effective means would be to measure and manage lift truck operator productivity by developing engineered standards and than measuring performance as a percentage against the standard.
There are however, certain performance measurements surrounding lift truck operator productivity that can not be either easily monitored or accurately measured through human resources.
Solution
Close monitoring of your lift truck operator activity is a key driver to maximizing material handling productivity and to help ensure operational cost containment.
Technical
ED2-400 SkidWeigh system, Patented Technology Worldwide* in addition to the standard onboard load weight check weighing function has an automatic visual warning to the lift truck operator when operating under the utilization factor.
The ED2 -400 SkidWeigh series is only decentralized onboard lift truck usage monitoring system on the market that measures true vehicle operational usage pattern, in Real-time.
The operational data is updated every second and any deviation from utilization factor will be shown to the lift truck operator with time out in seconds before visual warning and / or automatic web based reporting and alerts are activated.
Advantages
- Minimum up front investment
- Immediate positive results even with the installation of the single unit
- Guarantee vehicle utilization increase at least 25% without any analysis
- System is self maintaining
- No lift truck operator input required, fully automatic
- No IT support required
- Exceptions reporting only, low monthly fee ( Approx. $10.00 per unit)
- Decentralized system, every lift truck operator is aware of how well they are doing
- Visual pre-warning to the lift truck operator if material handling activity is
approaching towards the utilization factor less than standard
- Automatic visual warning to the lift truck operator or /and USB recording, wireless
web based reports and alerts
- No need to invest a substantial amount of money up front in the systems that are
based on large amount of data collection, some unrelated to the actual vehicle usage
and wait several months to see the possible benefits and payback. All current FMS
systems available on the market require a minimum of 10, 25 or more data logger
to be installed in order to make the system functional.
