Last week we met an old man who had been in charge of a forklift for decades, and the people in the circle praised the "Old Frecklet Driver". When the wine was in place, the storms and grudges in the ITS industry were full of stubble. In the smoke ring near his mouth, he shivered and came slowly.

Brother is not only a person with a story, but also likes to try new things. As a visitor, he talked about some practical views of the previous forklift fleet management system. The following are the main points on the napkin:

Analyze results, not data

At present, many Forklift fleet management systems on the market can provide huge amounts of data. In fact, a really good system needs to have preliminary analysis capabilities, such as the analysis of equipment utilization as a KPI's rise and fall trend, and the ability to find problem equipment and personnel with one click. One of the system selection tips: After listening to the manufacturer's presentation of the PPT, the first question should be: "Where is the analysis result? Can you help me find the rat feces that broke a pot of porridge?"

The personnel must start the card swipe function

The binding between supervisors and equipment is very important. In fact, maintenance costs, hidden safety hazards, operating efficiency, and residual value of assets are all related to people. In addition, the performance evaluation page cannot be separated from this function. So don't be too bad about spending money.

Forklift manufacturer systems, not third parties

There are three reasons: the forklift manufacturer's system can directly obtain a large amount of information directly from Canbus, and the third party needs to be full of sensors on the body, and the accuracy is not good; the manufacturer's system supports fault code return and repair Pre-judgment can shorten downtime; during the warranty period, after a third-party modification occurs, who is responsible for it?

Must have basic Forklift fleet management systems functions

Old drivers all know that lead-acid batteries have the biggest impact on battery life when charging and discharging or long-term low-potential operation. The cost of changing a battery is 1-30 thousand, and battery management functions are very important for asset preservation; if the owner is not bad, It is best to add battery level and temperature monitoring.

Alarm mode instead of system intervention in forklift status

In some application scenarios where customers have specific safety requirements, such as a fork driving above a certain height, the speed limit in a specific area, etc. At present, the practice of international counterparts is to provide drivers with sound and light warning methods instead of systematic intervention control of the equipment. The latter technology does not have any problems. The key is that it may cause personnel to be “unusual” of the vehicle without precautions. "Instead, it could lead to unexpected accidents.

Buy data services instead of owning hardware

Vendors provide hardware, and users will only pay for data

Is the data on-premises or in the cloud?

Needless to say, the reason, Forklift fleet management systems go to Cloud!
