Service and Maintenance: The Keys to Forklift Efficiency - Catalog - Page 19
Advancing Maintenance
with Technology
In today’s modern warehouse, nearly every
component can be connected. This local
connectivity and the larger connections made
possible through the Internet of Things (IoT) enable
multiple components to share data. At the very
least, this connectivity enables the warehouse
manager to gain new insight into the operation.
Adding to that, the fact that nearly everyone
carries a small computer with them in the form of a
smartphone means that managers now have more
technology at their disposal than ever before.
“InfoLink has done
exactly what we needed.
Implementation was
seamless. It allows us
to better understand
our operation. It
allows us to really
generate good
accountability.”
GAIN INSIGHT THROUGH
TELEMATICS
The advantages of planned maintenance for your
forklift fleet, including batteries and chargers, are
clear, as are the benefits of using quality parts
and components. However, applying a strategic
and well-thought-out plan for multiple forklifts
and shifts can be complicated. Telematics can
help reduce this complexity.
Throughput and productivity are always top
priorities. They are especially crucial during peak
seasons when every piece of equipment needs
to operate at its best. No one wants to sacrifice
productivity even when forklift maintenance is
due, whether planned or unexpected.
Some companies have turned to telematics
solutions, like Crown’s InfoLink® Operator
and Fleet Management system, to
establish and enforce the discipline to
complete planned maintenance on time
and on their terms. Telematics systems
can inform and streamline your
forklift maintenance program
to proactively address issues
and avoid the unexpected
and disruptive downtime
associated with
delayed or deferred
maintenance.
