Traction Battery Management and Control
For the fleet using traction batteries, we have introduced remote monitoring of charge and discharge cycles, as well as remote monitoring of the water level in the electrolyte and remote element failure detection. This monitoring makes it possible to foresee problems before they occur, ensuring that the batteries always operate in optimal conditions and prolonging their service life.
Dynamic Groups for Fault Management and automatic machine segmentation based on certain conditions
This functionality makes it easy to detect and group faults based on their characteristics and priorities. In this way, maintenance teams can focus their efforts on urgent repairs, while the rest of the incidents are effectively scheduled.
It also allows us to know quickly which machines meet certain conditions, for example:
- Qué máquinas han trabajado el fin de semana
- Qué máquinas están pendientes de revisión
- Which machines have worked for more than a certain number of hours
- Qué máquinas se han sufrido una determinada avería en un determinado periodo de tiempo.
- How many and which traction batteries are missing water in the elements or have been charged more than once a day (lead-acid batteries)
- What, and how many devices are incorrectly installed and which ones do not have GPS signal, perhaps also due to incorrect installation
Theft Prevention with automatically created GeoBarriers
Through geofences, when the machine is rented, our platform allows us to detect theft attempts or unauthorized movements. If a vehicle leaves a certain area without authorization, the system will send an automatic alert, allowing a quick response to possible theft attempts.
Automatic Stock Control between Delegations
Inventory optimization is key to operability and can now be managed automatically between delegations, allowing better control of the machinery fleet, as well as the timely distribution of resources according to needs.
Detection of Delegation Arrivals and Departures with KPI Capture
With our new real-time monitoring technology, the arrival or departure of each vehicle in a delegation can be automatically detected and metrics such as diesel level or any other relevant KPIs can be captured. This allows for precise control of daily operation and facilitates the analysis of operational efficiency.
Data Analytics with Predictive Maintenance and Automatic Anomaly Detection
Advanced analytics enables predictive maintenance and detects anomalies before they become serious problems. Thanks to Machine Learning algorithms, our system anticipates maintenance needs, enabling proactive scheduling and reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
Real-Time Location (LBS) thanks to new fleet digitization functionalities
Con la función de Localización Basada en Servicios (LBS), la plataforma ofrece información detallada sobre la ubicación exacta de cada vehículo, no solo a través de GPS sino también utilizando la tecnología LBS, permitiendo una supervisión más eficiente cuando la señal GPS no está presente (parkings, túneles, etc)
Inclusion of Documents and Photographs in Maintenance and Fault Recording
It is now possible to add documents and photos to preventive maintenance records and fault history. This feature makes it easy to track each incident, provides visual context, and helps improve diagnostics for future inspections.
Aggressive Driving Monitoring and Speeding Control
To increase road safety and reduce maintenance costs, we have included aggressive driving monitoring using the RAG index and speeding control based on the maximum speed allowed on each road. This functionality promotes safe driving practices, helping to reduce accidents and optimize fuel consumption.
Access to Documentation and External Links
To facilitate the operability of fleet equipment, the platform allows direct access to documents and external links. This is ideal for consulting manuals, operating instructions and any other necessary resources.
Holistic and Personalized Approach
Our digitization solution can incorporate data sources that don’t necessarily belong to the fleet. This provides a holistic approach, allowing third-party information to be managed, such as data from external suppliers or resources that interact with the fleet operation. The diesel fuel tanks present in many of the delegations and used to refuel the machines.
Segmented and Prioritized Alarms
The system allows you to configure segmented and priority alarms, providing greater control over notifications. With this functionality, administrators can receive alerts organized according to their criticality, thus avoiding information overload and achieving more effective responses to urgent situations.
Incorporation of Video Cameras in the Dashboard
In some cases, our customers incorporate cameras into their vehicles or machinery. To offer a higher level of visibility and control, the platform now allows the integration of video cameras into the main Dashboard. This facilitates real-time visual monitoring of the conditions and environment of machinery and vehicles, providing a complete view of the operating and safety status.
Diagnostic Code Capture
Our solution now offers CAN BUS diagnostic code capture functionality. With automatic diagnostic code capture, it is easier and faster to identify and resolve technical problems.
CAN J1939, CAN OPEN and MODBUS reading
Many machines operate under the J1939 standard; however, others use less common standards, such as CANopen or MODBUS. Our solution is fully compatible with these protocols, allowing to read and process data from each of them efficiently.
Detection of machine work on weekends even on machines without batteries
Thanks to our new energy-saving technology and the use of advanced hardware, the B’Smart solution can monitor the work of any machine on the weekend.
Automatic detection of incorrectly installed devices thanks to new fleet scanning features
Automatic detection of incorrectly installed devices is a key feature to ensure the optimal performance of our fleet digitization solution. This functionality allows the platform to proactively identify any device that is not correctly installed, which is crucial to maintain the integrity and operational efficiency of the fleet.
When an incorrectly installed device is detected, the platform will immediately generate an alarm, alerting operators to the problem.
This early warning is vital to:
- Minimize operational risks: By detecting improperly installed devices early, you prevent problems from escalating, which could result in significant disruptions to fleet operations.
- Ensure optimal performance: The correct installation of technological devices is essential to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, ensuring that all components work in harmony.
- Facilitate quick corrective actions: With real-time alerts, maintenance teams can take immediate action to resolve issues, thereby optimizing downtime and reducing costs.
This feature not only improves fleet reliability, but also strengthens investment in scanning technology, ensuring that each device is aligned with expected performance standards.
These new functionalities represent a significant leap in fleet management and facilitate decision-making based on real-time data. Our solution focuses on providing a complete, efficient and personalized vision for each client, adapting to the specific needs of each operation.
