Fleet Management Solution for Non-movable vehicles to monitor working hour

Problem

The challenge of accurately tracking the working hours of non-movable vehicles, specifically excavators, poses specific issues for industries reliant on heavy machinery. Excavators play a crucial role in construction, mining, and infrastructure projects, making efficient utilization and maintenance vital.

Vehicle Details

Vehicle Name: Excavator

Fuel Tank Capacity: 460L

Solution

Precise working hour data is crucial for effectively scheduling maintenance for excavator vehicles, ensuring timely upkeep, and reducing unexpected breakdowns and repair costs. To address this challenge, the Teltonika FMB125 GPS tracker offers a solution by providing Engine Work Hour information along with location details. Access to this data is conveniently available through the Bongo IoT mobile app and dashboard.

Accurate working hour information is vital for calculating operating costs and evaluating the profitability of specific projects. Furthermore, knowing the exact ignition time is essential for monitoring fuel consumption accurately, allowing us to assess vehicle efficiency and implement fuel-saving measures. With the installation of the FMB125 GPS tracker, we gain access to ignition On/Off time, including the starting time.

The FMB125 GPS tracker is seamlessly integrated into the Bongo IoT software, providing a comprehensive platform to access all relevant data day by day and month by month. This integration allows for the generation of monthly reports, enabling efficient analysis and decision-making.

Installation

Project: Sylhet City Corporation

Install Device: Teltonika FMB125

Challenges

During the initial installation stage, measuring the car tank presented challenges due to its enormous and deep design. To overcome this, the tank’s volume was measured using two approaches – once from the outside and once from the inside.

In the case of the excavator, its tank body was constructed with thick SS steel, making the drilling process time-consuming, and taking over two hours. Calibrating the excavator’s tank also proved to be a lengthier task, given its substantial capacity of 460 liters.

Result

By utilizing the FMB125 GPS tracker and the Bongo IoT software, SSC can now enhance excavator vehicle maintenance schedules, optimize fuel consumption, and improve overall operational efficiency. This, in turn, contributes to cost savings, increased productivity, and a more profitable business outlook.
