Linde Digital
Fleet Management System
MAKE YOUR FLEET MANAGEMENT INTELLIGENT
Digitization is changing the world of intralogistics. Modern logistics devices continuously collect data, which is analyzed and can then be used to optimize complex warehouse and transport processes. Networking and advanced sensors even enable the forklift trucks to act autonomously. This results in the fleet and fleet management becoming intelligent, and networking and real-time data access becoming increasingly important.
The Linde connect fleet management system provides precisely the information that you need for efficient fleet management. Whether it is in production or the warehouse, connect networks your forklift trucks and continuously informs you of the current status of the entire fleet. connect thus makes fleet management more cost-effective and increases the availability of each individual forklift truck.
What is fleet management?
Fleet management allows a company’s forklift truck fleet to be controlled centrally. This mainly involves optimizing the availability of the individual forklift trucks and coordinating the distances that are traveled. Modern forklift trucks continuously collect data for this purpose, which provides information about your status and current capacity utilization. Fleet management helps to make optimum use of resources and detect problems such as capacity bottlenecks at an early stage.
HARDWARE COMPONENTS FOR SMOOTH FLEET MANAGEMENT
The Linde connect hardware components connect the forklift truck fleet with the associated database software. They collect and transmit control and sensor data and make them available for further processing. They also serve as an electronic ignition lock with PIN or RFID identification.
New trucks are delivered with the Linde connect hardware as standard, and all components are also available as retrofit solutions for existing forklift trucks and those from other manufacturers. The connection to the Linde Cloud is established via GPRS transmission as standard. The communication with local databases works via Bluetooth. Other wireless transmission technologies such as WLAN can be configured as per the customer’s requirements.
