LIV-24 introduces intelligent ‘Vehicle Fleet Management’ technology Enhancing industrial transportation efficiency with real-time command centre

In an era when businesses must compete, not just against one another, but more importantly, against time, Therefore, quick, secured and efficient transportation have become essential for every type of business. This is especially true for the industrial sector, where a wide variety of transportation modes are required, such as for general merchandise, for chilled/frozen products, for construction materials, for petroleum products, for liquids, gases, and hazardous substances.

However, recurring problems in regard to transportation in Thailand have been road accidents arising from speeding, delayed deliveries, lost goods, fuel theft and other fraudulent activities. Also problematic is the management and containment of contaminated materials or materials not originating from the factories in accordance with Ministry of Industry requirements. All these mitigating factors have a huge negative impact on businesses and the communities.

LIV-24 Company Limited, as the leader in the integrated intelligent security technology, can help to solve those problems with “Vehicle Fleet Management”, which is a real-time transportation tracking system that efficiently answers transportation management needs to mitigate and prevent various problems that may occur and to save costs.

Ms. Niramon Direkmahamongkol, Managing Director of LIV-24 Company Limited, reiterated, “LIV-24 is the proprietor of the new ‘Vehicle Fleet Management’ solution, which is the technology most suitable for, and applicable to, various types of transportation. This is because we recognise the potential in the efficient transportation of goods, as industrial manufacturing is an important business sector that drives the country’s economy, especially for the fact that the industrial sector requires the transportation of materials used in the production processes from various locations to the production facilities. This requires strict control of the transportation time in order to prevent the production process from being adversely affected.

“Therefore, fast, accurate, punctual, economical and secured transportation is indispensable to the businesses. For some industries, transportation also means the  evacuation of contaminated or unused materials, which may have been disposed of incorrectly leading to harm to the environment and the communities. Those factors involving industrial transportation have made GPS tracking of transport vehicles from the origin to the destination an unavoidable necessity. With that in mind, the Vehicle Fleet Management system is the right solution for the transportation industry, for which we give importance to, and explore the latest technology to apply in conjunction with smarter transportation management.

“LIV-24 recognises an opportunity to increase transportation business potential, especially when industrial plants often contract many transportation companies, making tracking and monitoring of the transportation extremely difficult. Therefore, LIV-24 has developed software and Application Programming Interfaces (API) to support the tasks of transportation tracking, which is an automatic route calculation system for transport fleets in addition to tracking vehicle location in real time and monitoring transport status to meet the needs of the transportation services.

“Furthermore, tracking can also help the operators of transport vehicles to achieve maximum efficiency, thus considerably increasing their business potential. Currently, LIV-24 is monitoring and supervising approximately 225 large transport lorries per day running on 63 routes throughout the country on behalf of large-scale industrial production facilities. This operation is routed through the Command Centre that can monitor overall transportation efficiency in real time.”

LIV-24’s Vehicle Fleet Management system is equipped with the following major operational features:

  • GPS Tracking: The system monitors transportation routes in real time, constantly calculating for the shortest transportation routes, or for routes with the least amount of travel time. The system can also help to plan the most appropriate route, especially for transport vehicles that need to make deliveries at multiple points (Multi-Stop), for which the system will calculate to arrange the most appropriate order of stops, to reduce transportation time and to ensure that the products reach their destinations faster, to achieve the lowest transportation costs. GPS tracking is also able to define the areas that the vehicles enter and exit, allowing delivery services that adhere strictly to the set plans, while also being able to set notifications when vehicles enter and exit the designated areas. This ability is very useful especially for the transportation of contaminated materials that must be handled in accordance with the requirements and has a clear specific destination without any deviation that may cause an impact on the environment within communities.
  • Driver Monitoring: This system monitors the behaviour and driving characteristics of the drivers to prevent potentially dangerous driving. For example, the system can monitor if and when the driver falls asleep, or driving with excessive speed. This helps to reduce accident risks, ensure safety and security of the products, prevent theft or fraudulent activities through the monitoring of fuel usage and producing reports correlating fuel use and distance travelled to achieve maximum efficiency.

  • Real-time Alerts: Alert values can be set with the Incident Management System for when abnormal incidents occur, such as when a transport vehicle deviates from a planned route, or when a delivery is delayed. The system can provide notifications through many channels, including SMS, Email and LINE App, etc.
  • Transport Lorries Maintenance Data Programming: This system includes recording of maintenance costs and automatic notification of scheduled maintenance. This helps to extend the service life of the vehicles.
  • Automatic Data Reporting: The “Auto Daily” report has been designed to provide data that are crucial to the business – “Data scientists” are employed to do comprehensive data analyses and summarisation according to business needs, resulting in the information that is completely reliable. The report can be retrieved at every step, thus instilling full confidence for customers.

“LIV-24 is an intelligent observation technology, with the expertise in providing security 24 hours a day with the aim to increase work efficiency for our customers. In doing so, the technology and the team at Command Centre are adept at monitoring and connecting with the ‘Vehicle Fleet Management’ to help solve any related problems for company owners or industrial plants that utilise several transport contractors. The system helps to reduce difficulties, complications, and management errors. Moreover, the comprehensive data available in the reports can help enhance the operational efficiency and increase the effectiveness of the organisation even more,” Ms Niramon concluded.
