Kent Sweepers, a leading UK contract and spot hire specialists for operated and self drive road sweepers, gully tankers & JCB tele-copic forklifts has awarded a contract to DigiCore for the development and implementation of sophisticated vehicle tracking tool. Initially, a bespoke tracking solution, utilising DigiCore’s C-track system, will be initially fitted on 180 vehicles within the organisation’s operated road sweeper fleet, service support units and company cars.
The innovative solution will see the tracking system attached direct to a number of
PTO-linked applications enabling Kent Sweepers to monitor the precise status of its
operated road sweepers in the field. Sensors located on the hopper, belly brush and
gutter brush will provide access to detailed operating data including brush and tipping
movements, enabling greater visibility and control over active units.
Kent Sweepers will transmit key information locally via depot work stations and a
plasma screen at its national call centre in Milton Keynes, optimising the scheduling
and job allocation process to increase productivity and enhance asset utilisation. In
addition, data will also be utilised to better respond to customer enquiries and provide
real-time status updates where appropriate.
Elsewhere, the C-track system will also form part of Kent Sweepers’ programme of
green initiatives by offering new insight into the environmental impact of its vehicles,
whilst providing a new way of reducing levels of harmful emissions. By monitoring
real-time movements, Kent Sweepers will be able to ensure vehicles are operated
efficiently and remain on-route to enhance fuel performance and ultimately reduce its
carbon footprint.
Keith Curtis, Operations Director at Kent Sweepers commented: “The C-track system
offers a means to achieve cost efficiencies and increased productivity levels, whilst at
the same time, further enhancing safety and the overall service we provide to our
customers. This investment in DigiCore’s advanced tracking technology highlights
our commitment to operating an effective and responsible vehicle fleet.”
Tom O’Connor, Managing Director of DigiCore Ltd said: “We are very pleased that
Kent Sweepers has appointed DigiCore to develop their vehicle tracking solution.
This latest contract demonstrates the rich functionality of the C-track system and our
ability to meet detailed customer requirements.”
C-track is a sophisticated fleet management system that adopts the latest technology
to provide a comprehensive real-time vehicle management tool. This proven solution
provides vital information about mobile assets and workforce, and offers a scaleable
mobile solution that meets the complex needs of car, van and commercial vehicle
fleet operators.
