For a fair few years now, remote access to multidirectional forklifts has been part and parcel of the standard service that many HUBTEX customers have come to expect. One main benefit is rapid troubleshooting thanks to the ability to view all error messages and vehicle parameters, which enables HUBTEX’s service teams to fix faults fast and effectively. This basic connectivity feature is now being enhanced by a comprehensive package of new solutions, chief amongst them the fleet management portal. This lets customers see all their relevant vehicle and fleet data online and draw valuable conclusions about the use, energy efficiency and productivity of their individual trucks and entire fleet. There is also the possibility of integrating optional functions such as monitoring battery levels, keeping a record of daily physical access controls and assigning drivers precisely using either individual PINs or transponders. Damage that goes beyond simple wear and tear can also be logged and documented. The portal is easy to access via an app or web browser. “The main benefit of our system is the fact that, with remote access, we’re enabling a high degree of integration into our vehicle electronics while also offering state-of-the-art fleet management on a single platform,” explains Michael Röbig, Head of Product Management at HUBTEX. The connectivity solution, which will be presented to an audience for the first time at LogiMAT, can be ordered as an add-on for all HUBTEX vehicles and retrofitted to many existing models.
