About The Customer
Ernest Umeh has been the owner of E-Challenger Transport Services since 2015. The company specializes in container hauling near the port of Long Beach in California. In 2021, as he heard of increasing thefts related to vehicles like his, Ernest made the decision to purchase the FleetLocate GPS vehicle tracker and AI dashcam to improve visibility and the safety of his vehicle. The company is relatively small, with a focus on providing reliable and secure transportation services. The decision to invest in advanced technology solutions was driven by the need to enhance security and reduce the risk of theft.
The Challenge
Ernest Umeh, the owner of E-Challenger Transport Services, was concerned about the increasing instances of thefts related to vehicles like his. His truck was broken into, and the offender took the entire vehicle. Since Ernest had a Spireon professional install the GPS tracker on his truck, it was difficult to find and remove, so he was able to use FleetLocate to alert authorities of the vehicle’s exact location and recover it within a matter of hours.
The Solution
Ernest purchased a Spireon GPS tracking solution to monitor his vehicle. When his truck was stolen, he quickly logged onto FleetLocate, the online portal where he could get information about the vehicle’s location, status and any video recording recovered from the dashcam. Inside FleetLocate, Ernest saw the exact location of the truck, as well as all the locations it had been in the two hours since it was stolen. He contacted the local authorities and filed a police report with the precise information. Within an hour, the police were in pursuit of the vehicle.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
