Having the right equipment is crucial in material handling, but managing it effectively is equally as important. Telematics systems for fleet management help you avoid machine downtime, minimise warehouse incidents, avoid the unapproved use of machines, and improve business efficiency.
Market-leading manufacturer EP Equipment and global telematics provider GemOne deliver complementary telematics solutions.
Together, these solutions help equipment dealerships and their material-handling customers to grow their businesses and boost the safety and efficiency of their fleets.
EP Equipment: Pioneer in Lithium-ion Forklifts
EP Equipment is at the forefront of innovation in the forklift industry, specialising in lithium-powered electric warehouse equipment, such as electric counterbalance forklifts, electric pallet trucks, electric stackers, order pickers, and reach trucks.
From product design and production to after-sales services, EP supports material handling equipment suppliers worldwide.
Their commitment to providing “the right truck for every application” drives them to develop products that meet the diverse needs of their customers, ranging from occasional operations to high-frequency, multi-shift applications in warehouses and distribution centres.
EP Equipment specialises in lithium-ion powered, electric material handling equipment.
Lithium-ion forklifts offer significant advantages over traditional lead-acid forklifts, including longer lifespan, reduced charging times, and higher efficiency.
These benefits translate to a lower total cost of ownership and improved performance for customers. By integrating lithium-ion technology, EP Equipment ensures that their electric forklifts deliver superior productivity and cost-effectiveness for modern material handling operations.
EP’s telematics is built on their expertise in lithium-ion powered electric forklift trucks.
EP telematics equips material handling dealerships and their customers with a technical fleet management system allowing for real time fleet tracking, lithium-ion battery and truck analytics, remote diagnosis and predictive maintenance for lithium-ion forklift trucks.
GemOne’s telematics complement EP’s telematics by helping EP dealerships level up their customer service offering and grow their dealership business.
GemOne telematics allows dealers to minimise machine downtime and end reactive service models, tackle slow dealership growth due to limited customer offerings, and fix the inefficiencies of collating fleet data from various telematics providers.
In particular, it helps dealerships enhance customer satisfaction by levelling up their offer, thanks to features that boost the safety, security, and efficiency of their customers’ fleets.
And it gives dealers one solution for all makes and models of machine so they can easily connect their entire fleet to one single cloud platform and integrate different types of trackers, whether they’re from GemOne, EP Equipment, or another provider.
GemOne telematics for Fleet Management
GemOne telematics complements EP telematics by helping material handling customers of EP’s dealerships to enhance their warehouse safety, streamline operator management, and boost fleet efficiency.
By enhancing their warehouse safety and regulatory management, material handling companies can minimise equipment damage, save time and money on safety checks and compliance, and safeguard the wellbeing of their employees.
Safety is crucial in any warehouse or distribution centre. GemOne’s telematics solutions offer features such as driver access control, pre-shift checks, and impact detection to maintain a secure working environment.
By streamlining operator management, material handling companies can control access settings, see insights on operator behaviour, and more easily manage licensing requirements.
With these insights, businesses can streamline workforce management, optimise training, and promote safer operator behaviour. By controlling access settings and tracking operator activity, GemOne helps businesses manage licensing requirements, enhance training programs, and ensure adherence to certification standards.
By boosting fleet efficiency through actionable fleet performance insights on machine usage, material handling companies can minimise machine downtime, improve fleet composition, and enhance lifecycle management.
The respective telematics systems of EP Equipment and GemOne work together to provide insights for better fleet management for their customers.
EP delivers the necessary insights for technical fleet management and machine condition monitoring, while GemOne telematics delivers insights which help fleet managers boost safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Not only will material handling fleets benefit from the different insights provided by EP and GemOne telematics, but both sources of insights can be integrated into the GemOne Cloud so that there’s one single source of truth for your fleet data.
The GemOne Cloud is an easy-to-navigate online portal that captures and displays these insights, and it allows easy integration of your telematics data into your existing IT systems and applications.
By integrating GemOne’s telematics with EP Equipment’s lithium-ion material handling products, dealerships and material handling fleets can enjoy improved safety measures and enhanced fleet efficiency, extending the equipment’s lifespan.
This integration helps businesses with operational insights, proactive maintenance data, and better resource allocation, ensuring that they get the most out of their material handling investments.
