3rd Eye Introduces Fleet Health And Maintenance Software
Predictive and Proactive Automated Maintenance Module Provides Next-Generation Tools to Streamline Vehicle Maintenance and Accurately Forecast Preventative Maintenance
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 20, 2020 — 3rd Eye, part of Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the release of Fleet Health & Maintence, its automated fleet maintenance module, as part of the broader Connected Collections® fleet data strategy.
While vehicle technologies have grown dramatically over the last decade, the ability to leverage those technologies to improve maintenance strategies has lagged years behind, often resulting in reactive maintenance campaigns that only tackle repairs after the vehicle is out of service, or down while on route. This directly impacts fleet productivity, which ultimately impacts customer service, and also leads to an increased spare ratio, which only adds additional cost. The introduction of 3rd Eye’s Fleet Maintenance technology will change that trend.
“With Fleet Health and Maintenance, fleets now have the ability to be both predictive and preventative when it comes to maintenance procedures,” said Environmental Solutions Group President, Pat Carroll. “At present, most maintenance shops stock shelves of parts that are not needed, replace parts that are not worn out, and spend far too much time troubleshooting a problem. All of this leads to trucks out of service, elevated maintenance costs, and a fleet maintenance program that is reactive versus one that is proactive.”
“Employing Fleet Health and Maintenance like having a cardiologist and a health coach looking after your assets as artificial intelligence is monitoring your vehicle’s various systems to predict failures up to three weeks before they happen,” Carroll continued. “In addition, fleet owners can easily get a visual health check through the 3rd Eye portal to not only schedule maintenance that’s truly preventative, but allow maintenance shops to accurately forecast their spend for the first time.”
“With a simple look at the dashboard, a maintenance specialist can quickly triage their fleet to determine which assets need repairs and when,” said Carroll. “The Fleet Health and Maintenance module reduces troubleshooting and maintenance costs by 70% and 25%, respectively, and increases fuel economy by 27%. Importantly, this level of visibility allows fleets to dramatically increase their uptime productivity, and reduce their spare ratio while extending the lifecycle of their assets.”
The Fleet Health and Maintenance module makes it easy for maintenance shops as work orders are automatically generated and entered into a fleet’s Maintenance ERP system. The reporting capabilities of Fleet Maintenance are equally robust and provide fleet owners with customizable reports that can focus on fault codes, system health trends, or fleet health reports based on individual assets.
Fleet Health and Maintenance is part of the larger ESG Connected Collections comprehensive fleet data strategy that provides a rich stream of data and data-driven options that allow fleet owners to make better decisions faster.
