Why You Need Eagle-IoT as Your Preventive Maintenance Management Software

by | Mar 22, 2023 | Fleet Management and Telematics

Why do you need Eagle-I as your preventive maintenance management software?

Fleet is the cornerstone of any business, if you’re not on top of fleet maintenance management, despite the numerous investments your business makes, none can be as significant as the one you are making in your fleet. Well-maintained fleets can not only save your drivers stranded in harsh weather conditions but it can also enhance the productivity of your fleet.

An upkeep fleet requires a solid, long-term preventative maintenance strategy that not only maximizes fleet uptime but also extends vehicle lifespan, keeping your fleet well-maintained to assure the safety of your assets while they are in motion.

Without telematics, preventative maintenance can be complicated. Eagle-I provides a full spectrum approach to the maintenance of fleets. With the integration of OBD-II, a DTC or a Diagnostic Trouble Code, is generated to notify about vehicle engine’s issues. There are typically limits for each system within your vehicle. When the vehicle detects that the issue exceeds these limits, it sends out a trouble code. OBD data obtained from IoT sensors embedded in your fleet can later be analysed to decide which components should be changed before they break down or cause an accident. Besides this, root cause of most issues can also be diagnosed remotely.

A preventative maintenance strategy is developed by integrating engine data, fuel consumption, tyre management, and odometer readings with fleet management software. Eagle-I also offers scheduled periodic maintenance for your fleet. The scheduled maintenance is a calendar-based maintenance that occurs at repeating intervals or in response to a work request. It can include things on the “daily” or “weekly” basis. To ensure streamline operation, Eagle-i, Service and Renewal module can be used to schedule your maintenance work without disrupting your daily operations. Scheduled maintenance can be based on date or distance. Eagle-i has capability to send email notifications to authorized personnel when an asset’s periodic maintenance gets due.

Using Eagle-I preventive maintenance solution can help automate processes and keep reports and historical data intact. Besides this preventive maintenance can prolong life expectancy of assets, reduced unplanned downtime, fewer breakdowns of fleet, improved reliability of mission-critical assets.

It is crucial to pick the right solution that not only offers built-in reporting but also automates maintenance workflows with instant maintenance reminders along with analytics and insights on maintenance-related issues. Eagle-I offers all that your business needs.

Maximize Your Fleet’s Efficiency with Fuel Monitoring: Start Saving Today!

The fuel efficiency of a fleet represents the competency of fleet management. To ensure the optimal performance of your fleet, it is worthwhile to invest in both time and resources. In addition to offering insight into fuel usage, fuel monitoring solution also helps you in reducing the environmental effect of your fleet by providing you an insight into your fleet’s carbon emission, making your fleet operation more efficient and environmentally friendly. To analyze the fuel efficiency of your fleet, it is important to consider both fleet performance and driver behavior. Adopting good driving habits, performing regular maintenance, and making necessary modifications can help not only streamline fleet operations but also improves the bottom line. 

What factors should be considered to maximize fuel saving? 

When fleet management strategies are combined with the right tools, they offer a digital blueprint to maximize your fuel efficiency which enables you to execute smooth fleet operations. There are multiple factors that must be taken into account to determine the fuel efficiency of your fleet which involves both internal and external factors, such as aerodynamics, axle load, tire pressure, rolling resistance coefficient, and engine technology (petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric), driver behavior, etc.

Aerodynamics
The aerodynamics of trucks are complex, what works best for one fleet may not be best for another. Fuel economy can be improved by retrofitting your vehicles with aerodynamically designed components. To find a good fit fleet needs to go through some trial and error to streamline their vehicles 

Axle load 

Fuel consumption is significantly influenced by the distribution of cargo weight. Besides that, additional weight carried by the vehicle increases aerodynamic drag, which lowers fuel efficiency. To maintain a lean fleet, try removing the additional cargo container while not in use. 
 

Time Pressure

Under-inflated tires increase your vehicle’s drag, which results in low fuel economy. But how much exactly? According to research, 10 % of under-inflation increases fuel consumption by 2 %, 20% under-inflation increases fuel consumption by 4% while 40 % of under-inflation below the recommended level, can increase fuel consumption by 8%. 

Driver Behaviour

The way a vehicle is driven has a huge impact on how much fuel it uses. For instance, harsh braking and harsh acceleration can have a significant impact on fuel economy. Eagle-I driver behavior can track driving patterns to spot unsafe driving behavior and provide managers the information they need to coach drivers and modify behaviors. By promoting safe driving habits, fuel economy can be improved. 

Big Data and fuel efficiency

Fuel consumption is a big data fleet stat essential for controlling costs, and reducing CO2 emissions. With big data, Eagle-I provides the ability to accurately measure the variations in fuel across the fleet on a larger scale. 

Eagle-I provides you with an in-depth analysis of fuel consumption about 

  • How much fuel was refilled at a specific time interval? 
  • How much fuel is getting drained on daily basis? 
  • How much fuel is consumed by a vehicle per trip? 
  • How much fuel is wasted by vehicles during idling? 

Get a detailed breakdown of your fuel consumption analytics with Eagle-I fuel monitoring solution and use these big data reports to help make decisions on future vehicle procurement and driver coaching based on the insight.

Fleet Fuel Management with Telematics: A Solution Worth Considering

Telematics technology has transformed how fleet managers operate their fleets. It has not only proven to be a game changer for fleet management by giving previously unattainable real-time data and insights but with the integration of fuel level sensors into telematics systems, fleet managers can gain critical insights into fuel usage patterns, identify areas for improvement, and optimize their fleets for maximum efficiency and cost savings.  

What is fuel level sensor and how does it operate? 

A fuel level sensor is a gadget that determines how much fuel is left in vehicle’s tank.  It helps you to log and gain powerful insight about your fuel consumption and how it contributes to asset operating costs. With a click, you can identify high consumption vehicles and allocate them based on their usage.  

Connecting the fuel level sensor to the telematics system is of paramount importance. Once connected, the data from the sensor is transferred to the Eagle-I dashboard which then compute and analyze the fuel usage.   

Eagle-I offer fuel management using an ultrasonic fuel level sensor. These fuel sensors are non-invasive tools installed on fuel tanks. They do not require contact with the fuel and do not damage the fuel tank. It is easy to install and environmentally friendly. Besides this, they are IP66 compliant which means they provides ±0.5% level accuracy with a measurement range of 5cm-100cm. Our ultrasonic fuel level sensors are compatible with the advanced telematics devices offered by Digital Myths Solution.   
Eagle-I fuel level monitoring solution offers detailed reports about every phase of fueling such as refueling/drainage time & location, how many liters were filled, how many liters were consumed, fuel tank lid opening date and location, etc. Moreover, it offers a graphical representation to determine the cause of change in fuel volume i.e. refueling or draining of fuel in the tank. Besides this, reports can be generated to calculate the miles traveled by the fleet and the amount of fuel consumed by them, providing insight into the cost per Mile and performance levels.  
Once the fuel level data is integrated into the telematics system, fleet managers can access it in real-time. This allows them to monitor fuel consumption and usage patterns, identify potential problems such as fuel leaks or theft, and optimize routes to reduce fuel consumption. 
In addition to fuel level data, telematics systems can also collect other data related to fuel usage, such as engine performance, vehicle speed, and idle time. By combining this data with fuel level data, fleet managers can gain a comprehensive view of their vehicles’ fuel usage patterns and identify areas for improvement. 
For example, if a particular vehicle in the fleet is consistently using more fuel than others, it may be due to inefficient driving habits, such as excessive idling or speeding. By identifying these issues, fleet managers can provide training to drivers to improve their fuel efficiency and reduce overall fuel costs. 
The combo of fleet management solution and fuel monitoring is quickly a must-have for any fleet manager looking to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced business environment.

Digital Transformation: A realistic view from the inside of Iceberg

Many businesses are undergoing extensive transformation initiatives, integrating the internet of things on an enormous scale and harnessing the power of data to either capitalize on these trends or just to stay up with rivals as digital technologies significantly disrupt industry after industry. However, based on this year’s statistics, less than 30 percent succeed. Why do enormous IoT projects fail? Digital transitions are much harder. The biggest setback in IoT adoption for organizations isn’t in installation; it’s when they attempt to broaden their operations. What works or tests well on a local/smaller scale frequently breaks apart when firms try to execute it on a broader scale (regionally, worldwide, or in other parts of the business) which not only results in monetary loss but substantial time When it comes to growing IoT, one of the several challenges faced by organizations involves the incorporation of additional devices into their current setup which demands the proper management of IoT solutions, IoT devices and justifying ROI to explain and control project expenses. Before deploying IoT for scalability it’s important to evaluate the following pressing questions:

· What to expect after implementing IoT solution?

· How the IoT solutions will be managed?

· Will the operations be expanded in the future?

· How the entire project life cycle will be managed?

Deploying IoT-based solution into a business requires ongoing after-service participation from third-party solution providers. While challenges are certain to develop at some point throughout the project’s lifespan, careful preparation for them will ensure little disruption. It is better to determine upfront, how the issues can be managed remotely or what kind of security protocols needs to be implemented

Once the IoT fleet solution is implemented, chances are an organization might want to expand the implementation of solution to other dimensions. But before having a strong foothold, one needs to ensure can it be easily integrated with the existing interface or API.

Successfully connecting and installing hundreds or thousands of IoT devices involves competence in procurement, certification, mobile device management, testing and logistics. Most businesses lack all of the essential resources.

Eagle-I is an IoT managed service provider who not only has the infrastructure to provide connection, wireless management, and network administration using software-defined networking technologies but also manages mobile device, their testing, logistics, certification which can aid in the speedier deployment of scalable IoT projects with a lower total cost of ownership

How Fleets can Succeed in 2023 by using Route Optimization?

With the ever-increasing global inflation, routing has emerged as one of the most crucial aspects of fleet management to get the grip on fuel expenditure. When done manually, fleet managers are always occupied on the routing component of fleet management. However, it is next to impossible to find the optimum routes without spending unjustifiable amounts of time on managing those delivery routes. Besides that, it also increases the risk of overbooking vehicles and excess fuel usage leading to escalated operational costs.

There are literally millions of potential route options if you only have a few trucks with 10 stops each. The route optimization software is designed to calculate the best routes in a matter of seconds, maximizing the number of deliveries and increasing revenue your business exponentially. With route optimization finding the quickest path isn’t the only option here. When incorporating variables, route planning aims to reduce the amount of time spent traveling overall while making any number of stops. The software considers the following variable while planning optimized routes for deliveries:

  • Delivery time windows
  • Vehicle load capacity (weight and/or volume)
  • Driver schedule
  • Driver proximity and/or hub location
  • Traffic congestion
  • Accidents on the roads
  • How far the different stops are from one another

Eagle-I’s route optimization provides an opportunity for dispatchers and route planners to plan routes, create a series of stops, add multiple zones for closer monitoring and alerts. These customized routes can be created by simply providing the starting and ending points of your journey and the route will be pushed to the driver through specifically designed Eagle-i mobile applications. Drivers can react to last-minute changes by adapting routes already underway. It is designed for two-way information flow between drivers and dispatchers. Fleet manages can send command through voice call by incorporating Bluetooth headset with Eagle-I tracking devices. Drivers can also send feedback related to each task. RMS dashboard can be accessed for clear indication of total number routes, in process jobs, completed tasks. Tasks can be marked as complete, cancelled or failed by supervisor on RMS dashboard. With Eagle-I tailored journeys can also be created for special handling and perishable good

Optimizing your routes will not only save your time but can create more opportunities to perform extra jobs and take on more clients by tightening the service windows. Moreover, dynamic routing and accurate scheduling can be used as tool to improve customer satisfaction.
