| Sesca Logistics IT launches Fleetlogis FLEX for Road Maintenance |
In close cooperation with truck manufacturer, leading road maintenance company and an established bulk haulage company Sesca Logistics IT developed Fleetlogis FLEX service for road maintenance operations.
The users can get into Fleetlogis service with a standard internet browser. The system offers an instant overview of the selected vehicles for managers to see how the operation is progressing. Data history is saved in a database and Fleetlogis FLEX provides multiple tools and detailed reports on working time, mileage, fuel consumption and working hours of gritting and ploughing operations.
The Aplicom A1 FLEX telematics unit is connected to the vehicle hydraulics system to monitor the use of both front and side mounted ploughs as well as the centre-mounted scrapers. The A1 unit also communicates with most common gritter controls, gathers data from the CAN bus and the digital tachograph. The A1 device can be also connected with an optional vehicle PC. Sesca Fleetlogis is a multi-lingual service where the current languages supported are English, Arabic and Finnish. |
