Navistar Ups its OnCommand Connection Vehicle Platform
Navistar International has announced a number of advancements to its OnCommand Connection platform, including OnCommand Connection Live Action Plans, a feature that is expected to predict when a part is going to fail before it actually does.
OnCommand Connection will soon be piloting OnCommand Connection Live Action Plans, a feature that is expected to predict when a part is going to fail before it actually does. These are prognostic models developed using both our field service intelligence and algorithms based in big data analytics.
When certain adverse conditions are identified on a vehicle, OnCommand Connection would provide the customer with alerts about potential corrective actions, the potential repair, the parts needed, and the training required to make the repair. The company expects to pilot this over the next three months, with an official launch in 2018.
“We expect to be able to tell customers that we will proactively identify problems before they happen, recommend a fix and pay for warrantable fixes…before anything fails on the truck and they experience down time,”said Persio Lisboa, chief operating officer. “The innovative solutions we offer via OnCommand Connection help fleet owners and operators achieve optimum vehicle uptime while protecting their bottom line.”
Additionally, OnCommand Connection now features Automated Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting (ADVIR) capabilities that are intended to automate government-required vehicle inspection reporting and record-keeping for enhanced safety and productivity. The solution is fully integrated with other OnCommand Connection tools and services, including OnCommand Connection Telematics, Remote Diagnostics and Electronic Driver Log.
Terry Kline, SVP, chief information officer, said “Our Automated Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting solution relieves drivers of much of the paperwork required in the vehicle inspection process, while assuring that best-practice inspection and reporting protocols are followed.”
The company’s trailer tracking software is intended to provide detailed analytics and reporting for trailer management, built on the OnCommand Connection platform. GPS fleet trailer tracking helps companies keep tabs on their trailers and their cargo, so they can better maximize these assets to reach their customers and clients effectively. It also helps improve asset utilization, maintenance practices, and optimize trailer capacity.
“Information related to the trailer such as location, temperature, remaining space in trailer, tire pressure, and others are critical in making quicker more knowledgeable decisions,” said Kline. “Our Automated Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting solution relieves drivers of much of the paperwork required in the vehicle inspection process, while assuring that best-practice inspection and reporting protocols are followed.”
