Unlock the Full Potential of Telematics: Modern Uses Beyond Tracking

In the ever-evolving landscape of commercial fleet management, telematics technology has emerged as a game-changer. While many are familiar with its role in vehicle tracking, telematics applications have expanded far beyond that. Discover how fleet managers can harness these advanced capabilities to optimize efficiency, cut costs, and streamline processes like never before. 

1. Dynamic Route Optimization for Efficient Deliveries Gone are the days of static route planning. Telematics has ushered in a new era of dynamic route optimization, where real-time data is used to adjust routes on the fly. Fleet managers can ensure timely deliveries by considering traffic conditions, weather, and delivery schedules while reducing fuel consumption and vehicle wear and tear. Embracing this technology can lead to substantial savings and improved customer satisfaction. 

2. Proactive Maintenance & Predictive Analytics Telematics goes beyond tracking; it's about preemptive maintenance. With sensors gathering data from various vehicle components, fleet managers can identify potential issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns. By utilizing predictive analytics, maintenance schedules can be optimized, reducing downtime, and increasing vehicle lifespan. This proactive approach not only saves money but also enhances fleet reliability. 

3. Driver Performance Monitoring and Training Telematics provides a window into a driver’s behavior like never before. From harsh braking to aggressive acceleration, these insights allow fleet managers to provide targeted training to improve driver performance. By promoting safer driving habits, fleet managers can significantly reduce accidents, insurance premiums, and vehicle maintenance costs. This technology empowers fleet managers to enhance overall driver safety and efficiency. 

4. Emission Tracking & Environmental Sustainability In an era of increased environmental awareness, telematics is stepping up to monitor emissions. Commercial fleets can use this technology to track vehicle emissions, identify inefficiencies, and implement strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. Fleet managers can align their operations with sustainability goals by optimizing routes, promoting fuel-efficient driving, exploring alternative fuels, contributing positively to the environment, and corporate social responsibility. 

5. Cargo Monitoring & Security Enhancement Beyond vehicles, telematics extends its reach to cargo monitoring. Real-time tracking and temperature sensing ensure the integrity of sensitive goods during transit. Fleet managers can receive instant alerts for deviations from optimal conditions, safeguarding the quality and safety of transported cargo. This feature bolsters customer trust and protects against potential losses due to spoilage or theft. 

6. Data-Driven Decision Making and Business Intelligence Telematics generates a wealth of data that can be transformed into actionable insights. Fleet managers can analyze trends, identify operational inefficiencies, and make informed decisions to optimize their operations. This data-driven approach enables better resource allocation, more intelligent investment decisions, and improved fleet performance. 

7. Integration with IoT and Future Possibilities The world of telematics is constantly evolving, with integration into the Internet of Things (IoT) opening doors to even more advanced capabilities. From vehicle-to-vehicle communication to automated maintenance requests, the future holds exciting possibilities. Fleet managers who stay abreast of these developments can position their operations at the forefront of innovation, gaining a competitive edge in the industry. Driving Forward with Telematics As commercial fleets navigate the challenges of the modern business landscape, telematics emerges as an indispensable ally. Beyond its foundational role in vehicle tracking, telematics offers many advanced applications that redefine fleet management. From dynamic route optimization to predictive maintenance and environmental sustainability, the potential benefits are undeniable. By embracing these capabilities, fleet managers can unlock new levels of efficiency, cost savings, and operational excellence, propelling their fleets toward a successful and sustainable future.

The Dangers of Over-Inflated and Under-Inflated Tires

There are many reasons why you should take good care of your car. Not only is your vehicle a very expensive investment that you want to last for as long as possible, but your safety can also be at risk if your car is not performing at its best. One of the most overlooked factory scheduled car maintenance requirements for ALL vehicles is tire care.

Tires should be in good condition at all times. And as soon as they begin to show signs of wear and tear, it is time to have them replaced. In between tire replacement, your tires require regular rotations and balancing, as well as daily air pressure monitoring.

If you fail to take good care of your tires, they can begin to lose their ability to do their job, which can put your safety at risk. Tire pressure is a common problem that can influence your overall tire performance and safety. Be sure to routinely inspect your tires for proper inflation; you don't want them to be over or under-inflated.

The Dangers of Under-Inflated Tires

Bulges can form in the tire walls, which can weaken areas of the tires, and put them at a higher risk of blowing out on the road.

Under-inflated tires will cause reduced fuel efficiency, which affects a driver's budget and vehicle reliability.

Under-inflated tires will impede vehicular mobility, which can be dangerous in the defensive driving scenario and inclement weather, and while navigating small spaces.

The Dangers of Over-Inflated Tires

Over-inflated tires can cause an increase air temperature within them, which can lead to sudden blowouts while driving. They can also lead to an imbalance of contact on the road among all four tires, which can hinder vehicular mobility and handling.

According to a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

A tire that is 25% above the recommended air pressure is 2 times more likely to be involved in a collision.

A tire that is 25% below the recommended tire pressure is 3 times more likely to be involved in a collision.

There are virtually 11,000 tire-related motor vehicle accidents every year.

Nearly 75% of roadside flats are a result of improper tire pressure.

Flat Tire?

If you get a flat as a result of over or under-inflation, you can try to repair it yourself if you have a spare tire or an emergency roadside kit. If you are not capable of repairing or changing your flat, you can contact a local towing company for 24-hour roadside assistance service.

They can respond to your location within a short amount of time, repair your tire, or tow you to the location of your choice. Whether it is 3 o'clock in the morning or 5:30 rush hour, they have the resources to get you back on the road in no time at all.

Harbor - Known for Industry-First” Design Innovations in Truck Bodies

Allen Wrench says Harbor is the best at understanding that you need to use the right tool at the right time in the right vehicle. That’s why Harbor is the leader in “industry-first” innovations dedicated to making your job easier and more productive. To explore more, click on the learn more button.

As America’s premier manufacturer of service and platform bodies (and now van interiors), we enjoy a long history of “industry-first” design innovations dedicated to making your job easier and more productive.

Our bodies are loaded with more industry-first innovations than any other company in the industry. Some examples are:

• Stainless Steel Pop-Top Lids that are self-opening with the pull of a single lever (plus, they are impervious to the elements);
• Modern Gas Shock door stays on all vertical doors;
• Use of Teflon Glides on our telescoping Cargo Bed Enclosures (instead of roller bearings that irritatingly seize up) that glide open with the push of a single finger;
• Push-Button Locks with a visible red band on the door lock telling you your door is not secured…if the red band shows, push in the button. Now your tools are secure;
• Bumper step depth is 8 inches minimum and deep enough to give your boot a firm purchase on the bumper without slipping off. This makes for easy access to tools or materials from the bed area or rack. Hard to say why no one thought of this before! By the way, these bumpers are made of formed channel and are the heaviest duty in the industry!
• These are but a few examples of Harbor’s industry-first inventions that many other companies have now adopted.

It All Starts Here!

It’s thanks to our engineering team that Harbor is able to always deliver the best quality products to our customers. They have a combined total experience of over 50 years, which lets them tackle any challenge head on. They even hold patents for some of Harbor’s best innovations. With an arsenal of modern technology, they are always on the cutting edge of the industry.
