When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, Nippon Gases saw a sharp increase in the demand for medical oxygen transportation and delivery. This meant that they had to take a serious look at putting measures in place that ensure their drivers are transporting product quickly and, more importantly, safely.

MiX by Powerfleet is supplying Nippon Gases with the tools to monitor, score and analyse risky driving behaviour, especially speeding, to ensure that trucks arrive safely at their destination with the product intact and reduce the risk of accidents. This was key as getting oxygen to patients on time can be a life-or-death situation.

In addition, vehicle stability is also being closely observed using an on-board computer that measures g-force. This ensures that drivers are not handling their vehicles recklessly, such as braking or cornering too harshly. These actions and others are signs of aggressive driving and may damage product during transportation.

Nippon Gases continues to confidently supply medical gases as well as deliver and produce cooling solutions for the transportation of temperature-sensitive vaccines across Europe. This all thanks to the ongoing use of MiX by Powerfleet’s fleet management solution alongside RIBAS (an in-cab driver display for alerts), geofencing and trailer ID.

To match their needs, MiX by Powerfleet equipped Linde’s Romanian, Greek and Turkish fleets with MiX Fleet Manager (an inclusive fleet management solution), MiX Vision (an in-cab video solution), MyMiX (a driver engagement app) and MiX 3D (a remote digital tachograph data download service).

With all these solutions in place, Linde now closely monitor and manage the behaviour of their drivers, especially those behaviours that have been proven to increase crash risk. The in-cab cameras (provided through MiX Vision) have made drivers more cautious while driving and created a culture of safety awareness. These cameras have also helped Linde meet compliance requirements. With the addition of MyMiX, the driver engagement app, drivers can view their safety scores and track their personal performance so that training can be implemented to reduce any risky driving behaviours.

Linde experienced major safety-related results within a short period of time after implementation. Speeding, harsh acceleration and harsh braking, all behaviours that increase the risk of crashes and raises vehicle maintenance costs, has been drastically reduced. The number of kilometres that have been driven safely by Linde’s Romanian, Greek and Turkish fleets has increased fivefold in the last two years of implementing telematics with the help of MiX. Customer satisfaction rates have also improved as the newly gathered telematics data now makes scheduling more reliable and provides delivery notifications to customers.

Cardiff Bus is the main operator of bus services in the Welsh capital of Cardiff and its surrounds. Their iconic green and orange fleet transports 100,000 passengers on 3,000 journeys every single day.

3 ENGINES SAVED FROM FAILURE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF IMPLEMENTATION, SAVING APPROXIMATELY £30K.

To put Cardiff Bus on the road to success, MiX by Powerfleet implemented solutions to address two things – driver behaviour and fleet maintenance. With the help of MiX Fleet Manager and the RIBAS driver display add-on, Cardiff Bus can track poor driving behaviours (such as speeding and hard braking) and provide in-cab warnings to drivers when they engage in these behaviours. The data from these two solutions are then used to implement driver scoring. Using the MyMiX app, drivers track their scores and their overall performance.

MiX Fleet Manager generates large volumes of data, every day. Using that data and combining it with meaningful reporting, Cardiff Bus now implements preventative maintenance by meaningful engine temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage and accelerometer data. Their engineering team uses this information to schedule repairs and maintenance before serious damage is done to engines. This, in turn, saves costs, reduces downtime, extends the lifetime of vehicles and much more.

Currently one of the largest paper and cardboard recyclers in the United Kingdom, DS Smith Recycling has been a staple in the packaging industry since the 1940s. In an effort to improve their safety and efficiency standards, they turned to MiX by Powerfleet to implement a holistic telematics solution to better manage their driver performance.

Using the MiX Fleet Manager solution with RIBAS dashboard-mounted driver display, DS Smith Recycling has implemented a personalised driver scoring system. This system helps to monitor and correct bad driver behaviour using set parameters. Drivers are scored accordingly and given feedback through the MyMiX driver app.

With the help of MiX by Powerfleet’s solutions and its dedicated consultancy service, DS Smith Recycling saw significant improvements in driver performance within six months of the initial implementation. In the second phase, continued driver engagement and a customised workshop programme has been applied to, amongst many other features, coach drivers and, encourage safe and fuel-efficient driving.

Reading Buses https://www.mixtelematics.com/eu/resources/case-studies/reading-buses/ https://www.mixtelematics.com/eu/resources/case-studies/reading-buses/ Case Study - Reading Buses

Unlike many other bus operators, Reading Buses boasts a network of vividly branded buses and employs 410 drivers who are specifically recruited as “people who like people”. Their fleet of 181 buses includes 31 hybrid, 34 gas and 24 Euro6 diesel buses as part of their efforts to improve air quality for the greater community of Reading.

In looking to improve overall fuel consumption and reduce fuel spend among other aims, Reading Buses shortlisted a total of seven telematics providers. MiX by Powerfleet was singled out as the only company able to meet their requirements without over-complicating the solution on offer: namely MiX Fleet Manager with RIBAS (an in-cab driving aid) and MyMiX (a mobile app, designed to give drivers direct access to their driving data), a combination proven to drastically improve driver engagement and behavior.

By December 2015 – just nine months after the solution was first put to use – Reading Buses reported a 27% reduction in harsh braking and a 44% reduction in harsh acceleration across their fleet. Since fuel consumption is directly linked to the way in which vehicles are driven, it came as no surprise when their overall fuel consumption dropped by 2%, too.

CGG established a need to be able to better monitor its fleets out in the field. The company's land sites, known as missions, operate on an autonomous basis. Each mission is home to up to 100 light and heavy off-road vehicles. In almost all the cases, missions are located in remote areas, ranging from verdant jungles to the most arid deserts.

CGG decided to equip its fleets with a MiX by Powerfleet solution to be able to track its vehicles no matter where they might be and to be able to monitor drivers' speeds and driving behaviours. In doing so, the company's key objective was to achieve a reduction in accidents.

Today, CGG is able to constantly monitor the exact position of each of its vehicles and follow their journeys. Most importantly, the company can record maximum speeds and incidents of harsh braking and acceleration, previously the two main causes of accidents involving CGG vehicles.

Borg Manufacturing https://www.mixtelematics.com/eu/resources/case-studies/borg-manufacturing/ https://www.mixtelematics.com/eu/resources/case-studies/borg-manufacturing/ Case Study - Borg Manufacturing

Despite being an extremely successful operation, Borg was aware of a high rate of unsafe driving and vehicle rollovers – especially in deliveries that took vehicles over hills and through forests. Airco, a MiX by Powerfleet channel partner based in Sydney, recommended MiX Fleet Manager, a fully integrated fleet management solution that would help to meet the company’s safety, efficiency and compliance needs.

By combining an in-vehicle monitoring system (IVMS) with MiX Vision, MiX’s in-cab video offering, Borg Manufacturing could immediately start monitoring driver behavior, driving hours and vehicle performance in a bid to improve their business outcomes. Implementation began in February 2015 and, by March, the system had already started showing a return on investment.

In terms of RAG scoring, green (safe) scores went from 45% of total km driven to 99% in just six months. Red (unsafe) scores dropped from 22.49% to 0.11% in just seven months, and amber scores dropped from 33.01% to 4.52% over a total reporting period of 16 months.

The company also set up geo-fences in areas where rollovers had happened on a regular basis and dropped speed limits in those areas from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. Drivers had no choice but to slow down, with the result being a 100% reduction in rollovers.

MiX Fleet Manager Premium, a sophisticated telematics data collection and analysis tool, has been helping to measure the movements of Triunfo Concebra’s drivers and vehicles. In particular, the system has been used to look at metrics like speeding, braking, acceleration and more to see where improvements can be made.

After using the system for only three months, a reduction of 8% (approximately 7,500 liters) in fuel consumption was seen. This, in turn, has led to a decrease in the amount of air pollutants produced by Triunfo Concebra, a definite win for the environment. In addition to this, drivers have been made more aware of the effect their actions on the road have on others and their vehicles, something that has led to a large decrease in the amount of road accidents as well as a reduction in maintenance costs.

Great service is of the utmost importance to Triunfo Concebra. With MiX Fleet Manager Premium’s on-board computers in place to monitor the fleet, the company has been able to increase their response time due to better location accuracy and ultimately deliver services more efficiently.
