Increase Safety, Reduce Damage and Optimize Vehicle Use.

PowerFleet is a powerful wireless Vehicle Management System (VMS) for powered industrial trucks, like forklifts and tow tractors.

PowerFleet addresses these common challenges to managing a fleet of industrial vehicles:

• Unauthorized or untrained operators can easily operate vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents and safety liability.

• Manual, paper-based vehicle inspection checklists do not provide an adequate safety audit trail or give maintenance enough information to correct vehicle issues in a timely manner.

• Damage costs are high – especially anonymous damage – to racking & other structures, material, and vehicles themselves.

• The fleet of vehicles is underutilized, but limited or no data is available to fully quantify utilization and identify opportunities to improve productivity and reduce costs.

• There is pressure to stay within budget, even when increased material handling activity is required to support the organization’s growth (“do the same with less” or “do more with the same” or even “do more with less!”).

PowerFleet Benefits

Customers both large and small generate significant economic and qualitative benefits with our patented, best-practice technology. Customers typically achieve positive cash flow from system-related cost savings and process improvements in less than one year. Specific benefit areas include:

Improve Operator Management through Access Control• Restrict vehicle use to authorized drivers using your current security ID cards.• Establish driver accountability by making drivers responsible for their vehicle and behavior.• Intelligent on-vehicle database of authorized drivers works with or without network connection.• Easily deactivate unsafe vehicles or operators, including automatic license expirations.

Enhance Vehicle Safety through Automated, Electronic Safety Inspection Checklists• Satisfy government health and safety requirements.• Maintain compliance with daily vehicle checklists based on your parameters (e.g. once per shift).• Customize checklists, including multilingual capabilities.• Automatically notify maintenance of emerging problems before vehicle fails.• Report and track vehicle safety issues while reducing paperwork and administrative labor.

Reduce Damage through Impact Detection & Management• Record impacts in real time – eliminate anonymous damage and analyze impacts on five severity levels.• Automatically trigger a range of safety responses, both on-vehicle and system-wide, based on severity level, including silent reporting, forced operator acknowledgments, vehicle shut-down/lock-out, real-time email alerts to supervisors, and real-time remote visibility on software map of facility.• Deploy a universal impact sensor for all vehicle types, with auto-learning technology that continually adjusts to reflect changes in each vehicle’s actual operating environment.

Increase Utilization through Measurement of Vehicle Use• Analyze simultaneous use of vehicles, evaluate peaks, reallocate vehicles as appropriate.• Compare performance of individual operators, departments, and an entire fleet or enterprise.• Measure vehicle login and motion hours consistently across all vehicle makes/models/ages.• Optimize vehicle maintenance planning – by motion time instead of calendar time.

What typesof vehicles can

be managedwith a VMS?

Any powered vehicle – internal

inside or outdoors.

Reduce environmental

emissions/fuel costs by automatically limiting idle time

Vehicle Management System

What is a Vehicle Management System (VMS)?

A VMS is a hardware and software toolset for managing the safety and operational performance of industrial vehicles. PowerFleet is the most powerful, flexible VMS available, with the broadest range of options for wireless communications, network architecture, and functional performance.

Meet Both Your Current and Future Business NeedsYour investment in the PowerFleet VMS will not only give you precisely what you need today, it will also prepare you for seamless upgrades to a variety of valuable functions for tomorrow. System options available today include:

• Automated PM planning & schedule control• Sensor data integration • Auto-data feed option to existing maintenance system

• Workgroup metrics

• Traveling with load vs. deadheading

• Advanced BI/Analytics

• View and locate any vehicle in real time• Play back route history• Identify event locations

• Two-Way Messages

• Custom Response / Confirmation

• External alarms

• GPS speed monitoring

• Lift cutoff, creep mode

• Extend battery life

• Reduce capital costs

• Analyze & improve performance

MAINTENANCE – Reduce Costs, Increase Uptime• Real time notification of critical vehicle issues, auto-lock-out/tag-out of unsafe vehicles.

• Variety of exception data reporting & alerts (high temperature, low oil pressure, etc.)

• Optionally, feed VMS data into your existing corporate maintenance system.

ADVANCED PRODUCTIVITY – Continuous Improvement & Process Optimization• Comprehensive, customizable reporting to identify and quantify opportunities for fleet optimization, labor management, and cost reductions.

• Validate or fine-tune IE standards and allocate labor costs accurately across work centers.

• Business Intelligence to analyze & improve vehicle operations in completely new ways.

VISIBILITY – Find Any Vehicle, Any Time, Indoors and Outside• Find vehicles instantly (e.g. at start of shift) via GPS outdoors and/or RFID indoors.

• As unplanned tasks arise, quickly locate available operators and vehicles.

• Use historical playback to review routes and work patterns.

TEXT MESSAGING – Real-Time Communication with Your Fleet• Send messages anytime to individual operators, vehicles, groups, or fleet-wide.

• As unplanned tasks arise, quickly send requests to operators to complete them.

• Require a response from operator to confirm task acceptance.

ADVANCED SAFETY – Alerts & Notifications when Unsafe Situations Occur• Audible as well as visual alerts when an unsafe event occurs (e.g. speeding, impacts).

• Automatic lift cutoff and “creep mode” speed control are available for some vehicles.

• EE/LPS-compatible hardware available to meet UL 558/583 standards for anti-spark safety.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT – Optimizing the Asset within the Asset• Range of solutions for both swap and fast-charge battery systems.

• Options range from simple voltage monitoring to detailed SOC data.

• Analyze motion & lift time generated per battery charge.
