Proven Use Cases for Fleet Management

With Industrial IoT data, you gain more control and efficiency in your Fleet Management. Do you already know your use case and want to implement it? We provide you with practical examples of how others have already solved the use case and offer further inspiration for new added value – perhaps even through approaches that your competitors are already successfully using.

Fuel Management

Optimize fuel consumption through targeted analysis of idle times and driving behavior. This lowers operating costs and reduces your fleet’s CO₂ emissions.

Route Optimization and Tour Planning

Real-time planning of the best routes to minimize costs and reduce delivery times. For example, truck load capacity was increased from 22 to 28 tons in one case, leading to more efficient utilization.

Usage Monitoring

Tracking operating hours, mileage, and maintenance cycles of all vehicles enables better resource planning and extends the lifespan of fleet vehicles.

Analysis of Driver Behavior

Identifying risky behaviors such as harsh braking or speeding enables companies to provide targeted training and improve safety standards.

Digitalized Order Management

Automation and real-time tracking of orders lead to more efficient coordination between dispatchers and drivers, reducing delays.

Our partners with tried-and-tested IoT/IIoT solutions

Providers from our network whose IoT and IIoT solutions have been tried and tested in practice.

How do you successfully implement
your Fleet Management projects?

Are you looking to optimize your fleet with Industrial IoT data or have you already taken the first steps? However, you are faced with a wide range of solutions and providers and would like to make use of existing knowledge as well? Fleet Management based on IoT data requires collaboration between strong partners and experience in the right data analysis, real-time tracking, and individual process integration.

Data Acquisition

The basis of every IoT and IIoT project lies in data acquisition and pre-processing (EDGE). The data from the field and control level can be transmitted either directly by wire or wirelessly. Operational parameters such as temperature, pressure, force, or production data in real time are captured – and made available for any use case.

Data Transmission

A seamless transfer of captured data is essential. Many companies combine wireless and wired solutions depending on the use case – for secure data transmission to the cloud or locally. Suitable networks for distance, data load and environments as well as high security standards are crucial in order to avoid downtimes.

Device Management

Efficient device management for IIoT devices enables companies in our community to centrally manage the entire life cycle, including automated updates and certificate management. Our partners are working on solutions to reduce operating costs through automation, minimize downtimes and achieve high efficiency through scalable solutions and optimized interfaces.

Data Integration

Data only becomes valuable when it is seamlessly integrated into existing IT and OT systems. A strong connection between machine level, MES, ERP systems and other business solutions enables efficient processes and consolidated insights. Keywords: Data Warehousing, Data Lake and Database (storage)

Data Standard (Communication)

Many companies do not have standardized access to machine and device data right through to their IT systems. Standards such as OPC UA, LoRaWAN and mioty enable seamless integration from the edge to the cloud. OPC UA, for example, connects OT and IT by transferring data via edge gateways to cloud services such as Azure Event Hubs or Kafka and tools such as Grafana or Power BI. Our partners ensure that these standards can be used efficiently.

Data Standard (Master Data)

Master data for products and services is often not uniformly classified and is available in data silos. When implementing use cases such as traceability, digital type plates, the digital product passport (DPP) or the product carbon footprint, this leads to high costs in data engineering due to duplication of work and inefficient processing. Uniform data formats, standardized product descriptions and technical concepts such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) are therefore crucial.

Data Visualization

The visualization of IoT data makes it possible to display complex information such as alarm trends, golden batch or process dashboards in intuitive reports. Customizable dashboards on standard tools help to analyze real-time data, identify trends and make informed decisions. Low-code solutions are also available.

Data Analysis and Evaluation

IoT/IIoT data analysis provides real-time insights into processes through, for example, data event-driven apps, real-time analytics, and root cause analytics. Tools such as MVDA, OEE, process KPIs and Predictive Maintenance can be used to identify anomalies and optimize processes. Low-code solutions also facilitate rapid implementation.

Data Security

Protection against unauthorized access, theft or manipulation is an issue for every company in our network. Our partners are working on solutions for the optimal use of digital identities and encryption technologies for secure access and communication of your devices, machines and systems.

Services

The services of our partners support companies from our network in the implementation and optimization of IoT solutions. This includes consulting, individual customization, training and technical support. The aim is to make processes more efficient, integrate systems seamlessly and derive maximum benefit from IoT/IIoT data.

Benefits of Fleet Management:
Increase transparency, streamline processes

Fuel Management for Cost Efficiency

With IoT-based systems, companies can analyze and optimize the fuel consumption of their fleets. Targeted measures, such as identifying inefficient vehicles or driving behaviors, can sustainably reduce operating costs.

Optimized Route Planning

Real-time data enables the planning of the most efficient routes, considering traffic, weather, and delivery priorities. This reduces travel times, minimizes empty runs, and improves fleet utilization.

Transparent Usage Monitoring

Monitoring of operating times, mileage and idle times of all vehicles in real time. This ensures that vehicles are used efficiently and maintenance requirements are identified at an early stage.

Safe Driving Behavior

Analyzing driving style, speed, and braking behavior helps minimize risks. Companies can offer targeted training to improve safety and reduce insurance costs.

Efficient Order Management

Dynamic management and tracking of orders in real time. Dispatchers can react quickly to changes and improve communication between drivers and customers, which increases customer satisfaction.
