Fleet handling tool boosts Kalmar’s automation range

Fleetview’s main benefit is that it allows control room staff to monitor the real-time position and efficient control of each machine, which means that handling tasks can be assigned to the unit best suitable for the job, minimising unladen travelling distances and resulting in better productivity. It also allows significant improvements in operation quality, as it allows operators to better manage and coordinate container handling equipment.

Fleetview can be connected to a yard management system to monitor container moves, and notifies the control room of any discrepancies between tasks assigned and those actually performed. It can accommodate a practically unlimited number of machines, regardless of their manufacturer.

Other advantages include a comprehensive route log, which can track accidents and help prevent them happening again. The product can also be used as a training tool to teach new drivers correct working methods, with the help of its built-in map system.
