Uptake, Geotab Partner for AI-Powered Fleet Management
Industrial solutions software company Uptake and fleet telematics provider Geotab have partnered to develop a service to help fleets predict failures.
By combining Geotab鈥檚 hardware, which already captures data from about 100 different truck sensors, with AI-powered predictive analytics, fleets will have more precise insights into which components will fail, and when, according to an Oct. 25 press release.
鈥淔or the first time, fleets can go beyond basic monitoring to proactively predict and prevent breakdowns,鈥 Hoyoung Pak, head of transportation and logistics at Uptake, said in the release. 鈥淧airing Geotab鈥檚 capabilities to effectively access and rapidly transmit sensor data with Uptake鈥檚 ability to turn massive amounts of data into actionable insights leads to undisputed outcomes. Those can include reduced fuel cost, decreased unplanned maintenance and increased fleet productivity. The market has been asking for this for a long time.鈥
Uptake鈥檚 offerings are based on artificial intelligence and Internet of Things analytics.
Geotab rapidly transmits data from a truck鈥檚 sensors to the cloud. Uptake then analyzes this data and applies contextual information such as weather conditions to deliver insights to keep a fleet running efficiently. The software also only presents alerts when trucks are at risk of breaking down, helping to ensure that fleets neither under- nor over-maintain.
