Engine diagnostics and automatic odometer readings simplify maintenance scheduling -
SAN DIEGO – June 8,
2011 – Networkfleet, a leader in wireless fleet
management, today announced that Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) has chosen Networkfleet’s
telematics solution integrated with AssetWorks FleetFocus asset management software
to track GPS location and report on maintenance issues for 400 utility service
vehicles. BGE intends to use the joint technology solution to streamline
maintenance scheduling and reduce vehicle downtime.
BGE serves more than 1.2
million electric customers and more than 640,000 gas customers in the
Baltimore-Metro area, including all or part of ten Central Maryland counties.
BGE will install Networkfleet with AssetWorks FleetFocus integration primarily
on heavy duty vehicles.
The integration of
Networkfleet’s telematics technology with FleetFocus gives BGE quick and easy
access to vehicle location, engine diagnostics and vehicle maintenance alerts
without having to switch to another application. Additionally, real-time
odometer readings are sent directly from the vehicle to FleetFocus, which saves
time, increases accuracy and allows for timely scheduling of preventative
maintenance.
“After carefully
considering multiple vendors, BGE chose Networkfleet and FleetFocus primarily
because of their close integration. If Networkfleet’s system detects a vehicle
engine problem, a service request is automatically generated in FleetFocus,”
said Burton Jackson, director of fleet services, BGE. “The interaction between
the two systems will make our fleet management process more efficient and more
cost effective. Identifying potential component failures in advance helps us
reduce the cost of repairs and increase the life of the vehicle.”
"For utility
fleets, it is especially important to stay on top of maintenance issues because
vehicles are in constant use. The combination of Networkfleet and AssetWorks
helps fleets to be proactive regarding maintenance. For example, they no longer
have to rely on the driver to report engine problems or odometer readings to
schedule maintenance,” said Keith Schneider, president and CEO of Networkfleet.
”At the same time, utility fleets can use Networkfleet to monitor fuel usage
and idle time, allowing them to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions.”
