IoT Can Revolutionize Fleet Management. Here Is How

Fleet management is an administrative approach efficient enough to organize and coordinate the workflow and logistics of work vehicles. Initially launched for vehicle movement tracking, it resulted in improving efficiency, overhead cost reduction, and providing compliance with government regulations.

Technology-driven solutions smart devices, actuators, sensors, control surfaces, and internet connectivity are the key elements driving growth and opportunities for fleet operators. IoT enables interconnectivity between devices and ground mobile assets via cloud networks.

IoT connects the entire fleet with telematic devices, giving you the current GPS location and ETA. Reports suggest the IoT-driven fleet management market is set to reach a market cap of $15,500 Million by 2024

Leverage IoT to revolutionize fleet management

With TTBS IoT solutions, businesses can enable automation with a competitive advantage with real-time visibility to monitor and access the field remotely. TTBS fleet management helps to gain flexibility in resource allocation with predictive analysis and adaptive, resulting in an efficient sourcing model.

Cloud networks connected with IoT telematics can collect active data on vehicle health and diagnosis such as speed, tire pressure, driver health, and drowsiness level, idling time, braking, fuel consumption, and much more.

TTBS works extensively through optimized route planning, resource supply chain, and driving analysis. A fleet operator can increase chances of timely delivery, save costs, and reduce vehicle damage to minimize objectionable behaviours

Here are 6 ways you can use IoT to revolutionize fleet operations

Environment-friendly

IoT solution is important to monitor fuel usage and its performance in different regions and road conditions. Analytics will access the data and predict the best speed trajectory that can help improve fuel economy. Sensors can track speed and warn drivers of limits in that vicinity to improve safety and reduce the harmful effect on the environment. Less consumption of fuel results in fewer emissions and reduced carbon footprints.

TTBS IoT solutions can help operators can get automated alerts, which can warn them in case of any part failure helping to maintain vehicle performance with minimized risk.

Driver safety

TTBS workforce management fleet monitoring system is capable to track and access driver's activity. Based on the behavioural analysis, fleet managers can know every detail of unsafe driving, negligence, deteriorated attention. Managers can track sudden acceleration, speeding, sharp turns, and drowsiness.

Drivers can be trained to become more conscious drivers and improve their behaviours when behind the wheel; drivers can be more informed on their decisions and patterns. These continued efforts can help increase employee performance.

Predictive Maintenance

It is hard as humans for drivers to keep a continuous check on all control surfaces and ensure the functionality of the vehicle. Sensor-equipped vehicles will receive automated alerts, warning the driver and operator in case a part needs maintenance or replacement.

Low battery, Oil leakage, tire pressure drop, engine performance, coolant temperature, and many more control surfaces can be monitored and tracked with IoT. Based on usage analytics and historic data, IoT helps predict all such factors improving the fleet performance and keeping you on schedule.

For example, if GPS data triggers an event of slow braking, the embedded sensors will run a systems check and could indicate an upcoming issue with the braking system.

Cost optimization

With predictive maintenance, fleet vehicles are monitored at each step, allowing controlling authority for fleet managers to identify areas that require attention and cut down on additional costs.

Typical conditions that affect the costs are driving behaviour and driving style, which in turn affects fuel efficiency. Aggressive braking, acceleration, not maintaining average speed can greatly affect fuel efficiency and vehicle health. These factors can additionally increase maintenance costs and fuel usage.

Efficient supply chain

IoT-enabled infrastructure can help craft efficient operations and optimize the entire fleet network and logistics. At TTBS, our IoT asset management solution improves visibility and helps companies gain more control over the vehicles and advise them to optimize route and deliverance.

Connected systems and real-time data inputs help streamline operations, improve invoicing, improve time management, and remove any blind spots present in the ecosystem. Customers can gain access and keep track of their consignments, improving customer engagement, timely deliveries, and high quality of service.

Automation

Keeping in touch with drivers and customers is always a tedious task requiring micro-management of each aspect. With TTBS, fleet operators overcome these drawbacks with automation now track and monitor your fleet with GPS-activated tracking systems.

In any condition, if a vehicle is about to break down or break down, automated tracking systems will alert the operators, emergency services, nearby service stations and create strategic alternatives to reroute and help drivers.

Automation-driven statistics can help design intelligent transportation solutions and guide drivers for the fastest route, traffic updates, effective vehicle speed, nearby service centres, etc. These systems will run on complete automation and generate alerts and guiding messages to help drivers and managers come up with effective strategies to execute their routes.

In summary

IoT is set to be the new face of fleet management with intelligent and efficient solutions with scope for tremendous growth and sustainability. With the proven possibility of increased cost savings, process efficiency, and solving day-to-day business challenges. TTBS creates an ecosystem that connects each enterprise to worldwide applications increasing connectivity between suppliers and customers.
