关于客户
Acklams Coaches is a family-run business that has been in operation since 1952, founded by Bernard Acklam. The company is currently managed by Alan Acklam, with his father Paul serving as the managing director. Acklams Coaches specializes in coach private hire and contract work, as well as providing bus services in and around the areas of Beverley and Driffield in the United Kingdom. The company operates a fleet size of 25-50 vehicles and employs 20-60 drivers. Over the years, Acklams Coaches has built a reputation for reliability and quality service in the passenger transport industry. The company is committed to maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency, which is reflected in their continuous efforts to adopt innovative solutions to enhance their operations. With the rising costs of fuel and insurance premiums, Acklams Coaches sought to implement a driver safety program to mitigate these expenses and improve their overall operational efficiency.
挑战
At the time fuel prices were skyrocketing as well as premiums due to the nature of passenger transport what Acklam Coaches wished to accomplish as a result of evaluating how a driver safety program and technology could provide was to reduce fuel consumption, insurance premiums and vehicle wear and tear in order to improve their bottom line. To accomplish this, Acklams Coaches wanted to signed up with a technology provider to help reduce insurance costs, as well as drive down accident and fuel costs. After a lengthy search and evaluation, Acklams found that GreenRoad was just the solution firm needed.
解决方案
After rolling out the driver safety program across the Acklams fleet, Alan Acklam, Director for Acklams Coaches, admits that it was initially difficult to persuade some company drivers to accept the constant presence of GreenRoad. That changed however when a bonus system designed, with the help of GreenRoad’s Performance Advisors, to reward drivers who remain free of own-fault accidents was introduced and they realized that GreenRoad’s advice could earn them extra income. As a consequence, the company has halved the number of minor bumps and bangs. Furthermore, whereas the average GreenRoad driver risk score was 20, it has now fallen to just 5, with every one of the drivers in the green sector. The bonus is set each month – to get it drivers also have to achieve a risk score of 10 or less – with an annual bonus if the insurance claims total no more than 30% of the annual premium. If they achieve that target, then they get a premium rebate.

Case Study
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.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
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.”
