…usage data, especially from on-board telematics, offers key insights into whether the equipment has been over- or under-utilized going into peak, says John Rosenberger, director of iWarehouse Gateway and global telematics at The Raymond Corp. That information can then be translated into a maintenance schedule for individual lift trucks, allowing equipment rotation that does not interfere with peak throughput, he…

…of iWarehouse Gateway and global telematics, that AR is not all there is to digital training. “People tend to focus on the goggles, but there are also tablets, YouTube videos and other accessories that are part of the digital training of techs. And, it can all be done remotely as needed because the training systems are so interconnected.” Rosenberger also…

…John Rosenberger, director of global telematics for The Raymond Corp., is that some earlier variants of automated lift trucks required guidance infrastructure such as reflectors or tags embedded in the floor. Such installations go against the grain of the as-a-service concept, he adds. “With an ‘as a service’ model, or a subscription model, it implies that you can pay for…

…amass a vast about of telematics (telecommunications and vehicular data), rich with insights revealing driver behavior, accident frequency, and other info. These, Lucero pointed out, are of immense value to insurance carriers, repair service vendors, and smart city developers, setting up a fertile ground for data commerce. “Doing in in compliance with privacy regulations is the key,” Lucero said. But…

…of iWarehouse gateway and global telematics at Raymond. By his estimate, roughly 20% to 30% of facilities use such systems today. The next step, Rosenberger says, is tracking systems that monitor the truck in its environment. The most advanced system can remotely take control of the speed and direction of the lift truck from the operator when a safety issue…

…trucks focused on three areas: telematics, robotics and motive power. With all three, end users have more options than ever. And just as important, each of those innovation centers are focused on making truck operation as smart as possible. Telematics collect and share truck data, providing not just an operational baseline, but insights into efficiencies. This allows companies to put…

…at all stages of the telematics journey. At the introductory level, customers tend to pursue data around a specific application and look for what an out-of-the-box package can provide. As they work to get more out of it, they look at analytics. Many don’t have business intelligence tools in-house, so they lean on their dealer. Then, more sophisticated large retailers…

…can help, including lift truck telematics solutions. Those operations that continue to rely on standard, time-based preventative maintenance (PM) schedules and paper-based checklists could be missing out on opportunities to make lift truck maintenance even more effective. While computerized maintenance management system 〈CMMS〉 software is perhaps the key tool for helping maintenance programs, connected lift trucks also play a role…

…LaFevers compared the concept to telematics adoption. Five years ago, many forklift salespeople struggled to pitch telematics, and might simply bring along their battery rep of choice to visit a customer facility. “Now we’re acting as a brand-agnostic consultant to help the customer find the best power option,” he said. At the Balyo booth (N6951), Hyster also showcased equipment outfitted…
