  Florida County saves $150,00 in annual fuel costs with CalAmp Fleet Intelligence Imagine saving enough money in fuel costs annually to buy a handful of new vehicles. Or to invest in that new tool your maintenance team requires. Or maybe even to reward your best employees with performance bonuses. That’s some serious fuel savings. And an undeniable return on investment for Fleet Intelligence software. That’s the result experienced by a Florida County Public Works department after they installed a GPS-powered Fleet Intelligence solution from CalAmp. CalAmp, the California-based company which has long held a leadership position in the telematics industry, serves scores of cities, counties, states and universities with the same customer-focused technology designed to make fleets safer, smarter and more efficient deployed by some of North America’s most profitable and dynamic private businesses. CalAmp’s success serving private and public fleets is rooted in that fact that its intuiti...

  Winters in the bustling New England town of South Windsor, Connecticut, north of Hartford, are synonymous with snow and ice, which often keep the town’s fleet of 40-plus street service vehicles engaged. Real-time visibility into the location of each vehicle allows Scott Yeomans, street services associate manager, to move his snowplows like chess pieces, helping operators plow roads faster and more efficiently.    In fact, when a South Windsor resident calls emergency services, Yeomans typically has a snowplow at the resident’s location, clearing the way for emergency vehicles, even before help arrives.   A GPS fleet tracking system from CalAmp makes it possible.   “We find where the nearest truck is located, move it over, and start plowing the area. Then the operator will jump out and start shoveling the sidewalk,” said Yeomans. “Oftentimes, our guys are done before EMS arrives.” As a result, EMS gets in and out faster. And when it comes to emer...

With a growing global market that includes a strong demand for fresh food, supply chain’s cold side has never been more important.  Companies want to ensure their product is fresh, as well as safe, when it reaches consumers. However, governments and organizations add another layer of complexity because they want to guarantee the same things but through regulation. For produce, fruits, seafood and other fresh-to-consumer items, the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law in 2011, governs how producers and shippers ensure food safety. These directives illustrate the emphasis on preventing loss, contamination and spoilage rather than merely responding to it. This shift in focus requires new solutions and processes that can provide visibility and documentation from origin to destination, and perhaps beyond. IoT technology is part of the answer because smart options provide insight into not only the location of every shipment, but its environmental conditions whether ...

  The Forefront of Cold Chain Monitoring for Vaccine Shipping Preparations for a COVID-19 vaccine rollout highlight the complex nature of vaccine shipping and the need for real-time cold chain monitoring of sensitive cargoes. How do you ship a vaccine that must be kept at freezer or even deep-freeze temperatures without ruining it? Especially when you’re shipping millions of vials across the globe to stop a pandemic? The answer: very carefully. The COVID-19 vaccines in development, like many other vaccines and pharmaceutical products, require strict environmental control. Some of the vaccines need to remain cool. Others are frozen and must stay that way. One may require an arctic temperature as low as -112 degrees F (-80 Celsius). By comparison, ice cream and steaks are shipped at -80 F. If at any point between pickup and delivery a vaccine shipment goes out of a specified temperature range, an event known as a temperature excursion, the integrity of the vaccine may be compromised,...

  Commercial fleet tracking managers face multiple challenges, sometimes daily, keeping their vehicles on the road and dispatched efficiently. In the past, some decisions had to be “guesstimated” based on experience and limited utilization information. Having real-time quantitative information, straight from the vehicle itself, helps streamline operations and make decisions easier. Commercial fleet managers face multiple challenges, sometimes daily, keeping their vehicles on the road and dispatched efficiently. In the past, some decisions had to be “guesstimated” based on experience and limited utilization information. Having real-time quantitative information, straight from the vehicle itself, helps streamline operations and make decisions easier. A telematics gateway connects the physical vehicle and its environment to an IT, often cloud-based, ecosystem. This single device provides the driver and the command center access to critical operational information via various networks...
