About The Customer
Dupré Logistics, LLC is a large corporate entity specializing in designing and delivering safe, diversified solutions and services for quality-focused clients. With a fleet size of 750 and 800 drivers, the company is committed to safety and efficiency. Dupré's emphasis on safety is not only a moral obligation but also a business strategy that impacts customer retention, insurance rates, vehicle maintenance, and fuel efficiency. The company operates with the belief that all accidents are preventable and strives to implement measures that ensure the safety of its drivers and the profitability of its operations.
The Challenge
Dupré Logistics LLC, a company with over 1,000 team members, faced a significant challenge in maintaining high safety standards for its 800 drivers. The company's safety record was crucial not only for the welfare of its drivers but also for its business success. High-risk driving could lead to crashes, which are costly and could affect the company's profitability. Dupré needed a solution that would improve driver safety without reducing productivity or increasing costs. The company sought a non-intrusive method to enhance safety and maintain its competitive edge in the logistics industry.
The Solution
Dupré Logistics selected GreenRoad for its driver safety and fleet performance needs. The implementation began with a phased approach across the entire fleet. GreenRoad's system uses sensors to detect 150 high-risk maneuvers, providing real-time, in-vehicle feedback to drivers. This feedback allows drivers to adjust their behavior immediately. Additionally, management can access web-based reports to track driver performance over time, enabling targeted training. The initial implementation saw a 30% improvement in driver scores, prompting a full rollout across all vehicles. GreenRoad's solution was cost-effective, with the potential to pay for itself through fuel savings alone, aside from the invaluable safety improvements.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
