SmarTruck

What is SmarTruck ?

The Pozi.tech SmarTruck™ system provides real-time information on the utilization, activity and status of forklifts and other material-handling vehicles involved in production or warehousing processes.

The system makes product-handling processes and resources transparent and allows for the analysis thereof, facilitates efficient resource planning, improves the capacity utilization of vehicles, reducing operative costs and allowing for the improvement of logistics performance and accuracy.

SMARTRUCK

Basic Functions

Basic

Base System: The backend system of SmarTruck solution, responsible for the processes of data collection and datprocessing
Communication: Interchangeable module with WiFi or 4G data connection on request
Analytics: Advanced data management and visuali-zation, statistical, analytical and reporting system

Utilization measurement

Reports on forklift utilization (individual and fleet level), calculation in daily/weekly/ monthly breakdown, identification of peak periods

Alerts

Configurable email/SMS alerts for various events concerning forklifts

Interfaces

Data transmission to/from any common external ERP / WMS system

Operator authentication & Permissions

Forklifts can be started only after driver authentication via access card. Card types can match the type used by the company.
Operator permissions are checked at each authentication. The range of driveable types or specific vehicles can be individually set.

Collision detection

Collisions identified with built-in accelerometer are logged, alerts sent and truck functionalities can be limited if required

Forklift logbook

Technical assessment of trucks by the operator and filling in the forklift logbook can be mandated periodically.

SMARTRUCK

Forklift Tracking

Continuous, automatic tracking of trucks’ physical position with presence detection or coordinate positioning, both outdoors and indoors
Presence detection: proximity positioning with UWB / BLE / WiFi technology
Coordinate-level indoor positioning with UWB technology using a built-in infrastructure
Outdoor positioning with GPS and precise RTK technology on request
All movements are continuously logged, current position and route traveled can be tracked on a map

Prerequisites & Opportunities:

Indoor forklift tracking with SmarTrace indoor positioning infrastructure
Management of RTLS services in the PoziCAD application

SMARTRUCK

Task Management

Allocation and control of various movement tasks
Manual or automatic task assignment directly from the ERP / WMS system, the list of waiting tasks for the truck is displayed on the on-board terminal
Demand-driven task assignment via pushbutton unit: clear and traceable communication between line workers and trucks
Complete with Goods Identification and Forklift Tracking extension, the system helps the operator with alerts to perform tasks accurately

Prerequisites & Opportunities:

Customization of software
Specific software for costumers by SSDev (Sponsored Software Development) services

SMARTRUCK

Goods Identification

Identification of the goods on the fork of the truck and display of their data on the on-board terminal
Manual identification by manually scanning the QR or barcode printed on the goods
Automatic identification using the RFID tag attached to the goods and the RFID antennas and RFID reader mounted on the truck
Goods Identification combined with Forklift Tracking extension allows passive positioning of goods and automatic logging of movements

Prerequisites & Opportunities:

Automatic identification requires the installation of the SmarTruck RFID hardware
The system can be combined with the Pozi SmarTray smart packaging system

SMARTRUCK

Fleet Management

Accurate statements of all operating and maintenance costs for the entire truck fleet: consumption, service and parts costs, etc.
Detailed and accumulated cost data per truck and per entire fleet
Full maintenance and service log, forecasting of maintenance due
Optional direct connection to the truck via the ConnectBox CAN bus interface
Detailed statistics supplemented with current (speed, fuel / fuel level) and operational (operating hours, fault indications) truck data

SMARTRUCK

Process optimization

Optimization of goods handling and picking tasks along predefined decision algorithms
Optimized task execution allows fast, accurate and efficient collection and delivery of goods
Optimization parameters: current position of each truck, task list, pick lists and the position of the goods on the list, current status of the mobile shelving system and additional parameters from the ERP / WMS system

Prerequisites & Opportunities:

In the case of large systems, optimization capabilities are developed in the context of individual development projects
