Fleet management
Digital solution for optimizing the industrial truck fleet
Jungheinrich has presented its new fleet management system. The Jungheinrich FMS is the digital solution for the efficient and cross-location management of material handling equipment fleets.
The web-based tool combines technical and commercial vehicle data in one system and offers its users precise data for concrete decisions thanks to comprehensive analyses. Thanks to digital access control, the reporting of shock events and various cost and productivity analyses, users can increase the utilization of their fleet, reduce operating costs and increase safety for man and machine. Thanks to the modular structure of the system, users always decide for themselves which modules and functions they want to use for their fleet.
Exchange of fleet data
A special feature of the Jungheinrich FMS is its interface for exchanging fleet data with the customer's IT system. Jungheinrich is the first manufacturer of material handling equipment to offer such a solution for the exchange of fleet data with third-party systems. Data exchange via the Jungheinrich FMS API enables improved planning and coordination of resources, thus avoiding bottlenecks and increasing productivity. Bidirectional communication between the systems enables the fleet management system to react to events and changes in the customer system and make appropriate adjustments. This enables dynamic management of the fleet, which can adapt to changing conditions and requirements.
When developing its new fleet management system, Jungheinrich paid particular attention to user-friendly operability. The Jungheinrich FMS is therefore equipped with what Jungheinrich claims to be the most modern and user-friendly user interface in the industry. Graphic visualizations make important information visible at a glance. Thanks to the clear user interface, the system can be used quickly and intuitively without a long familiarization phase.
Different equipment variants
The Jungheinrich FMS is available in various versions. In the starter kit, it offers its users a complete overview of the size and composition of the fleet at local and global level in inventory and location management. In addition to the Jungheinrich trucks recorded, other inventory such as industrial trucks from other manufacturers can also be added manually. Master data such as truck type, manufacturer, age, specifications and location are stored. The system provides a complete overview of current and completed orders at all times. The operating hours module, which is also included in the Starter Kit, records the operating hours for all Jungheinrich trucks as well as for other manually added equipment. The operating hours forecast helps with the coordination of operations and enables the quick identification of trucks with a particularly high and low number of operating hours. The Jungheinrich FMS offers various fields of application and functionalities in five other bundles.
