Crown, a manufacturer of warehouse trucks, has integrated its flagship fleet management system, InfoLink, with the FleetSTATS cost optimization program. This has created a comprehensive tool that provides real-time, detailed information on fleet performance and operating costs, allowing companies to continuously improve their operational results.
The idea behind the creation of Crown Insite was to provide a holistic view of a company’s fleet, enabling the identification of problems at an early stage, the setting of realistic goals, and the making of sound cost-related decisions based on detailed information regarding warehouse vehicles.
FleetSTATS – a complete picture of fleet expenses
While the InfoLink fleet management system uses an intuitive user interface to clearly provide vast amounts of useful information about forklifts and their operators,
FleetSTATS provides and analyzes the total expenses incurred for their maintenance and rental. The system is equipped with an electronic spare parts monitoring function and the ability to request service, allowing this process to be managed even faster and more precisely.
Thanks to the user-friendly presentation of the analyzed data, managers can track every aspect of warehouse operations – from individual forklifts to the fleet as a whole. For example, the system detects the causes of repairs and above-average wear of spare or consumable parts. This allows managers to quickly identify potential areas for optimization, take appropriate corrective actions, reduce service costs, and improve overall fleet efficiency.
InfoLink – a proven fleet management solution
The wireless InfoLink fleet management system helps users monitor and manage forklift usage efficiency. Its functionalities include recording and analyzing information such as: battery usage, impact and collision history, operating hours of individual trucks, safety-related events, and much more.
In 2013, InfoLink was awarded in the international IFOY competition for revolutionizing intralogistics at the Spicers warehouse in the UK, reducing maintenance and repair costs by 90% and the total fleet size by 40%.
