关于客户
Maritime Transport is the UK’s largest container transport operator, specializing in the movement of containers across the country. With a fleet that initially consisted of 700 vehicles and later expanded to 1,000, Maritime Transport is a key player in the logistics and transportation industry. The company is committed to leveraging technology and data to drive efficiencies and improve operational performance. By partnering with Microlise, Maritime Transport has been able to implement advanced telematics solutions to monitor and enhance driver and vehicle performance, track asset locations, and optimize fleet utilization. The company’s focus on innovation and continuous improvement has positioned it as a leader in the industry, dedicated to providing reliable and efficient transport services to its customers.
挑战
In 2012, Maritime Transport, the UK’s largest container transport operator, was looking for ways to increase efficiencies across the operation. The company was looking to find a telematics technology partner, capable of supporting a wider initiative to innovate with technology and data. After exploring options in the market, Maritime partnered with Microlise, with telematics introduced across the fleet of 700 vehicles. The solution put in place provided insight into driver and vehicle performance, and allowed Maritime to track the location of assets, understanding how they were being utilised, allowing for increases in fleet utilisation. Initially, Maritime focused at addressing areas where efficiencies could more readily be achieved, before later looking at more innovative ways to make use of the data collected and intelligence gained, and expanding the solution to 1,000 vehicles as the fleet grew.
解决方案
Maritime Transport partnered with Microlise to implement a comprehensive telematics solution across its fleet. The initial deployment covered 700 vehicles, providing insights into driver and vehicle performance and enabling real-time tracking of assets. This allowed Maritime to identify areas for efficiency improvements, such as reducing engine idling and optimizing driving styles. The telematics system also facilitated the development of driver skills through Microlise A-G reports, leading to additional fuel savings and enhanced safety levels. As part of the solution, Maritime deployed Microlise’s Journey Management product, which included Customer Service and Schedule Execution Boards. This provided real-time visibility of the fleet against planned routes, enabling better planning and proactive customer service. The solution was later expanded to cover 1,000 vehicles, with all new vehicles fitted with the technology before their first journey. The Microlise DriveTab device was also adopted to facilitate safe and effective two-way communication with drivers and manage tasks and work. The ongoing collaboration between Maritime and Microlise continues to drive innovation and efficiencies, supporting Maritime in achieving its operational objectives.

Case Study
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
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
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.”
