Construction fleet visibility is the ability to see what is happening with a fleet of construction vehicles and equipment in real-time. To achieve this ‘visibility’ over a fleet, GPS, telematics, and other fleet management systems are typically deployed to provide real-time data on the location and status of assets. With these better devices and better-informed approaches, companies will be able to more proactively prevent surprises, mitigate risks, and develop new opportunities.

Key Aspects of Construction Fleet Visibility:

    • What’s New: Real-time tracking of the location of every vehicle and equipment component On Demand: Real-time location data for every vehicle and piece of equipment at any time
    • Performance Monitoring: tracking parameters of vehicle performance, such as fuel consumption, engine performance, operational efficiency, and usage patterns.
    • Maintenance Management: Periodic preventive maintenance based on real-time data in order to minimize downtime and extend the life of equipment.
    • Operational Efficiency: use data and analytics to increase the efficiency and productivity of jobs, boost turnaround times, and reduce downtime on job sites.

Benefits of Enhanced Fleet Visibility:

    • Cost savings: fewer pit stops mean less fuel and repair work. In particular, there’s the GNSS Carriage Automation system, which has received renewed interest following the Eurotunnel fire. According to Moulin, this technology uses GNSS to determine the position of trains and understand traffic movements. It optimizes routes and maintenance intervals on the line, which leads to significant fuel savings and lower maintenance costs for trains and tracks.
    • Better Decision-Making: With access to complete data, fleet managers can make the best decisions on improving companywide productivity and efficiency.

TruckX’s ELD and fleet management solutions offer the solutions that are essential for providing construction fleets with full visibility of all the moving parts involved. With functions such as real-time location of the vehicles, performance analytics, maintenance scheduling, and more, it helps construction companies increase their scalability, reduce costs, and improve project timelines and deadlines.
