Moving to the Cloud

In an effort to provide customers with further flexibility and capabilities for managing their forklift fleet and operators, Crown has announced that its Crown InfoLink fleet management system has moved to the Cloud to offer a flexible two-tier platform that will allow the software to be easily scaled as customer fleet management needs grow and mature.

 

Crown InfoLink is a wireless forklift fleet and operator management system that
delivers actionable data to help warehouse managers maximise productivity. Hosted
by Crown, InfoLink now provides a flexible approach to fleet and operator
management by offering a two-tier platform that aligns with customer needs and
challenges, and provides multiple paths to forklift fleet optimisation depending upon
organisational priorities and budgets.

The Standard plan provides basic fleet and
operator management features, including operator authorisation for equipment use,
impact detection and alerts, along with real-time equipment status.

The Advantage plan offers companies the ability to increase operator productivity,
manage planned and unplanned maintenance, and optimise energy resources
including battery changes and fuel usage, in addition to the basic fleet management
features.

“We are seeing the forklift quickly become the most advanced piece of equipment
that touches every part of the warehouse. More advanced on-board technology is
improving operator productivity and enabling connectivity that helps to provide
greater visibility into the warehouse environment, operator productivity and product
movement,” said Jim Gaskell, director of global Crown Insite products, Crown
Equipment. “Crown InfoLink helps companies use actionable information to make
better business decisions and achieve a better return on investment. The new two-
tier platform makes it easier for organisations to get started with fleet management.
For instance, depending on a customer’s needs, they may be able to enjoy fleet
management capabilities for as little as the cost of a cup of coffee per day, per
forklift.”
