GX STORE in real life - then and now

The right vehicle monitoring solution supports the right decisions, prevents inefficient operation and lowers the total fleet costs.

A significant producer of railroad cars and chassis in Europe decided to renew the fleet of handling machinery. For its activities, this producer used combined transport and at that time, the company had already a monitoring system for passenger vehicles. The handling machinery was allocated to the respective departments; whilst their managers based their decisions regarding such administration purely on limited information, and thus providing insufficient overview. That is why, during the process of seeking the perfect supplier of monitoring technologies, there was a requirement regarding an automated system of getting necessary information with a limitation of the human factor. The rather huge division of its production premises along with its location indicated that this particular decision might be a tough one. The company had to pay off for the disproportional overloading of the machinery and inappropriate handling on behalf of the operational staff. These resulted in unnecessary service costs and rapid deterioration of the machinery. The main objective for implementing the monitoring system was to make the operation more effective and to lower the total costs. That is why it was mainly the idea of introducing a new monitoring system became a part of the operation optimization process. From the short-term point of view this resulted in an increase of immediate costs, however, the estimated return of investment was strongly supported by the expected benefits. The company decided in favor of GX TRUCK solution since it was tailored to its specific needs. The implementation turned out to be a success after the first few months of using this system. Thanks to the systematic data administration the company gained a real overview and access to exact information for the purposes of subsequent statistics and optimized setting of processes. The company benefits from a solution that turned out to be the ideal tool for an effective management of the operation. GX STORE complied with the requirement of a comprehensive solution thus allowing the company to exert a controlled approach - now the company knows who and when is using the machinery. Except meeting the changing needs of the company, the GX STORE solution was able to secure for additional specifics that had been defined / such as consumption monitoring which is linked to the respective LPG gasoline pump - this provides the transport manager with the exact information regarding who filled the tank with fuel and how much fuel they pumped. This solution also provided information regarding the actual fleet load during lifting and to determine whether a particular cart is suitable for the respective operation unit.

They receive information regarding the exact location and continuous movement of the carts not just within the company's production premises, but also in case they are located in places such as halls where there is no GPS signal. By means of introducing this solution, they were able to eliminate cases of machinery misuse for unauthorized purposes, prevent its excessive overload and prevent transport outside the approved zones. The reliable identification of the cart's collisions record has lead to a significant reduction of losses and made the deduction of responsibility for such losses much easier.

Moreover, the company also gained a single monitoring system for all types of its fleet in use. It is considering its further implementation with other pieces of machinery in the area of freight transport as well.

Should you have similar experience now is the time to change the staying way of monitoring and administration of your machinery. Such an investment is definitely worth it. The costs of the resources you are losing due to ineffective utilization of the machinery, along with losses related to its unauthorized utilization are much higher.
