Forklift Telematics Systems Become Workplace Standard

The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to empower industries around the world. Warehousing and logistics, in particular, are among the fastest expanding and scaling areas of IoT adoption. Forklift telematics systems are the most striking example of using connected devices and real-time data to optimize operations, enable new business models and reduce costs.

What are Forklift Telematics Systems?

Forklift telematics systems allow monitoring, tracking and management of forklifts for maximum utilization and optimized workflows. Supported by wireless connectivity, forklift telematics systems allow continuous monitoring of the location, operating hours and utilization of forklifts and provide insights into operator behavior.

Forklift Telematics Systems help you answer questions such as;

• Why do some operators take much longer than others to perform certain tasks?

• How long should it take to perform a certain task?

• Does my business have the right number of forklifts?

• Where do we need to focus our labor resources today?

• How do we forecast the forklifts and operators needed for future workflow?

• Can I increase the “travel and load-carrying time” of my vehicles?

What are the 5 Key Reasons to Consider Forklift Telematics in Your Operation?

• If you cannot measure, you cannot manage.

• Every day you are asked to do more with less resources.

• Your operators are spending far more time moving materials than they should.

• Forklift telematics is becoming a workplace standard.

• Reducing operational inefficiencies keeps potential new equipment investments to a minimum.
