Forklift Management Systems
Forklift management systems help companies that rely on material handling keep their fleets in great shape. The proper management of forklift fleets promotes warehouse safety. When material handling teams can oversee key aspects like maintenance schedules and operating hours, not only can safety improve but productivity as well. A safe warehouse is a productive one– but what should companies look for in forklift management systems to make this possible?
Here, we’ll take a look at what features make a thorough fork truck management system. We’ll also discuss ELOKON’s fork and lift truck management systems, which are trusted around the world. To further improve warehouse safety, we’ll explore other ELOKON warehouse safety management systems later. Examining the important features of fork truck management systems can help your team identify where your warehouse can improve its safety measures.
Important Features of Fork Truck Management Systems
Fork truck management systems play an important role in forklift safety. They allow teams to oversee fleet operations and status and monitor driver success. Improving warehouse safety can also decrease costs associated with accidents and injuries. However, only the right forklift management systems will offer these features—ones that actively facilitate fleet and driver safety. But what features should material handling teams look for in fork truck management systems? At ELOKON, we believe that these systems should at least increase fleet visibility, track operating hours, and easily integrate into existing workflows.
Increasing Fleet Visibility
Material handling is already complex between team logistics and busy routes. When the right fork truck management systems exist, there’s no reason why fleets should be mismanaged, increasing the risk of unnecessary downtime and even accidents. Fork truck management systems increase fleet visibility, which means that leadership can account for each vehicle, monitor its maintenance schedule, and view its status. ELOfleet offers these capabilities, ensuring that material handling teams are sending out forklifts that are ready to handle the day’s demands.
Tracking Operating Hours
Tracking operating hours is another key feature of forklift management systems. The ability to track driving hours allows teams to analyze productivity and improve where needed. Operating hours are indicators of two factors: driving productivity and vehicle readiness. ELOfleet allows material handling teams to monitor operating hours so they can assess their productivity.
Powerful Workflow Integration
Powerful and efficient workflow integration is essential for success. Fork truck management systems should increase productivity by preventing missed maintenance that can lead to accidents. KPIs should be readily available for review to improve team operations. However, these features can’t improve productivity if the safety system is difficult to integrate. ELOfleet by ELOKON is easily installed and integrated into existing workflows. Our app-based system facilitates implementation, allowing teams to improve safety and manage their fleets more effectively as soon as possible.
Increasing fleet visibility, tracking operating hours, and integrating into workflows are key features of forklift management systems that will increase safety and productivity. While these features are important for ensuring a safer warehouse, a more successful fleet management system offers additional features to further improve team and fleet safety. At ELOKON, we’re proud that ELOfleet, the world’s first smartphone-based smart fleet management system, is a powerful tool that offers these capabilities and much more. Let’s take a look at how ELOfleet revolutionizes forklift fleet management.
ELOKON Lift Truck Management Systems: ELOfleet
ELOKON lift truck management systems start with ELOfleet. ELOfleet is an elegant system that we’ve designed to streamline fleet oversight and fleet KPI analysis. When your lift truck management systems are simple yet powerful, the increase in team productivity and fleet organization can be significant. Let’s look at the key features of ELOfleet that make it one of the best forklift management systems in material handling:
Smartphone Design for Driver Access
Daily driver access control through a smartphone keeps fleet operation simple without sacrificing safety measures. ELOfleet only allows authorized drivers to sign in via RFID or PIN and operate their forklifts. Our ELOfleet lift truck management systems prompt drivers to complete their daily safety checklists before operation, further ensuring fleet safety. Your team can customize authorization levels and change checklist questions to fit your workflow.
Web-Based Dashboard KPIs
While our smartphone design streamlines driver sign-ons and safety, our web-based dashboard offers fleet KPIs to streamline overall fleet data and success. Your leadership can review key fleet metrics like impacts, mean truck utilization, and maintenance schedules so that your company can optimize its fleet. By logging truck information through truck IDs, your team can see specific fleet data to pinpoint losses in productivity. Team improvement starts with clear and readily accessible KPIs, which ELOfleet is built to provide.
ELOfleet is one of ELOKON’s lift truck management systems, designed specifically for fleet organization and execution. Together, the smartphone app and web-based dashboard create a comprehensive management system that drivers and leadership can use as tools, increasing team communication.
