关于客户
Southern Tank Transport and Davis Transfer Company are two transportation carriers based in the United States. Southern Tank Transport, a dry bulk carrier, specializes in transporting cement, lime, and other construction-related materials with terminals in South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, and Texas. The company aims to maintain a high level of customer service and stay at the forefront of technology and fuel consumption management. Davis Transfer Company, a truckload carrier, operates in the southeastern United States with terminals in Carnesville, Savannah, and Valdosta, Georgia. The company specializes in high trailer capacity drop and pickup freight service with no outsourcing and has been an early adopter of fleet management technology.
挑战
Fuel is one of the largest expenses for transportation companies, accounting for up to 40% of a motor carrier’s Cost Per Mile (CPM). Managing fuel costs is a leading priority, especially given the volatility of fuel prices. Various factors, including vehicle type, aerodynamics, tire rolling resistance, weather conditions, routing, and maintenance practices, can affect fuel consumption. However, driver behaviors such as excessive idling, improper shifting, and speeding can increase fuel consumption more dramatically than any other factor. Identifying and correcting these behaviors in a timely manner is challenging, as is distinguishing between driver behavior and vehicle performance as the primary cause of poor fuel consumption.
解决方案
Southern Tank Transport and Davis Transfer Company partnered with Omnitracs to implement the Performance Monitoring application featuring Fuel Manager. This application helps carriers manage and reduce fuel consumption by quickly identifying root causes of good and bad driver behaviors and vehicle performance. Fuel Manager provides detailed reports and a user-friendly dashboard, making data easily accessible for driver managers. Southern Tank Transport aimed to increase MPG and reduce fuel wasters like idling and improper shifting. They used Fuel Manager to monitor driver and vehicle performance, leading to increased visibility and actionable insights. Davis Transfer Company, already utilizing Performance Monitoring, adopted Fuel Manager to gain critical data on individual driver behaviors and vehicle performance. This allowed them to compare drivers, equipment, and terminals, leading to significant improvements in fuel consumption and operational efficiency.

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.”
