Public utilities companies, whatever the industry in which they work (water, gas, electricity, salubrity, thermofication, public transport, infrastructure, fire fighting, police, etc) deal with major difficulties in managing operations for public service. The business environment is constantly changing and public services need to take into account market constraints
ETA Automatizari Industriale has developed and integrated info SafeFleet X520 important features which permit public utilities to overtake all the challenges of a stressed activity, with millions of clients, hundreds of sites to maintain and restricted budgets. Companies may rapidly redirect the closest vehicle to a location for intervention (POI), can verify the intervention time from intimation, can verify the public services timetable (eg. garbage collection at the specified dates and hours). By using SafeFleet X520, public utilities companies have relevant information about work time and volume of work needed for activities with the obvious consequence of efficiency: reducing the number of vehicles by increasing the usage rate of the fleet. On the other hand, SafeFleet X520 permit operators to access real time information and historical data about each vehicle's journeys based on time intervals. The immediate effect of this feature is the elimination of clandestine journeys during work hours, increase efficiency and company income. A vehicle working for water company can make 2-3 journeys for company interest and 10 journeys in private interest. Losses from this kind of "service" are huge. SafeFleet X520 reduces bureaucracy of emitting and processing daily trip plan as well as driver time sheets. These information are available are electronically available and in real time (information are available in the database immediately after the journey has ended). For equipments and aggregates, SafeFleet X520 offers the possibility to record engine function time in load of idle. This feature is important because it records the common fuel theft - drivers let the engine running on idle and at the end steal fuel justifying high consumption due to extended engine use (the difference is that on idle the engine consumes 5 liters/hour while in use it consumes 20 liters). Another economy source brought by SafeFleet X520 is reduction of the communication costs by drivers phone calls. The operators have the possibility, directly from WebReporter, to communicate with drivers by sending free SMS messages*. References in the public utilities domain:
