Car
Fleet management with IoT automatically records the trips, locations and operating times of every car in a company fleet. Businesses no longer need handwritten logbooks, plan routes faster and keep a clean record of business and private trips.
Truck
Truck tracking with IoT connects every truck to head office and delivers position, operating status and vehicle data in real time. Digital controls and documentation during loading and unloading also reduce manual entries for dispatchers, drivers and shippers.
Track infrastructure
Railway track maintenance becomes more targeted when IoT sensors on the track infrastructure supply weather data, axle counter diagnostics and loads from train operation. Operators avoid unnecessary line closures and plan work on tracks and switches more precisely.
Commercial vehicle
In a software defined vehicle, commercial vehicle software is rolled out and updated remotely rather than in the workshop. Manufacturers maintain one consistent software stack for the whole connected fleet, and an update no longer resembles a recall.
Delivery vehicle
Van telematics with a driver app connects every delivery vehicle to the dispatch office. Dispatchers see in real time which stops are done and warn customers of delays without calling the driver.
Freight wagon
Railcar tracking with IoT locates freight wagons that have no power supply of their own: self-powered trackers report position, movement, shocks and temperature throughout the journey. Dispatchers plan wagons better, customers receive arrival times, and maintenance follows actual use.
