MOBIWORK

MOBIWORK The integrated solution for transport

planning and monitoring

MOBIWORK is a hardware and software platform for transports optimization; if offers solutions both for vehicular monitoring and trips strategic planning. Monitoring and control of vehicles and performed routes MOBIWORK control and monitoring system allows the real-time supervision of times and means positions (thereby even information about goods). Such operation involves the installation of devices on board of vehicles in order to: - First of all, verify that planned trips

are really performed. - Download on-board logs with data

about position and current status of sensors (anti-theft, acceleration meter, temperature...)

- A proper web server application, installed in the customer’s control station, permits to:

Display current position and condition of one or more vehicles

Ask to vehicles the on-board logs download

Analyze downloaded data and produce reports and statistics in order to verify, in particular, that what was previously planned is respected.

Planning, evaluation and reorganization of trips The planning system offers several functionalities in order to answer, in the same time, to the following needs: - Optimized planning of deliveries (and reclaims) for strategic monitoring of costs and improvement of quality levels of service;

definition of strategic reference projects for every day of the week and for particular periods of the year according to periodicity. Planning, management, control of costs for the reorganization of network when customers are added or changed.

- Evaluation of consequences in relation to variations of delivery frequency, of a restriction or of the structure of vehicles fleet. - Evaluation of the structure of vehicles fleet with reference to the

kind of vehicles in use (charge capability, type of vehicle, driver…) - Identification and evaluation of the best

store to serve a customer. The algorithm allows identifying of the best customer assignment to the store, whereas the kind of goods can satisfy the order’s request.

- Production of detailed reports to obtain indicators of performances in terms of vehicles use, costs and quality of service provided.

MOBIWORK

Planning system The system is based on INTERTOUR trips planning software.

INTERTOUR is an interactive system for the planning of distribution, it works in Windows environment, and it can be used as a mean for both strategic and operational planning. The basis of planning process consists in customers orders, combined one another in order to generate trips. Orders are imported from the external system (host) and trips are exported towards the host. INTERTOUR graphic interface supports the planning process. User has the chance to modify the planning (manually or automatically) according to his own needs. INTERTOUR offers two different modalities for planning: - Free optimization - Optimization based on trips derived by a previous planning or by company’s experience. Monitoring and control system The system is based on a series of software modules located in a central server by the customer, and on telematic devices installed on board of means. Communication among means of transport and central operative station can take place through different GSM and satellite communication channels. In particular, supported channels are: - GSM network(dial-up and

SMS), - Satellite ORBCOMM network - Satellite GLOBALSTAR

network (dial-up and packet), MOBIWORK is based on GPS - Global Positioning System. MOBIWORK provides services for fleet management and mobile assets localization, bidirectional Exchange of messages and monitoring of on-board sensors and alarms: crash, theft, mechanical failure... In particular MOBIWORK allows the download, on demand or periodically, of on-board logs deriving from mobile devices installed on vehicles, making it possible to rebuild routes performed and related events (status of sensors, type of stop, ignition on off, kilometres covered…). On board system It’s an electronic device of new generation equipped with a base electronics, a GSM-GPRS module for data communication, a GPS module/processor for positioning relative to latitude and longitude, and an electronic acceleration sensor which is able to detect and rebuild crashes on the basis of accelerations. Assembling is not intrusive in vehicle’s structure; in fact, there are just three points of contact, fuel system, ignition panel and GSM and GPS antenna. If necessary, the system will be supplied with voltage converter from 24V to 12V.

Estensioni

MOBIWORK can be integrated with devices for automatic data collecting (orders, reports…) like: PDA, mobile phones, bar code readers and ANOTO pen. This last one, in particular, permits the electronic automatic acquisition of what compiled on paper. MOBIWORK uses mobile phones BENEFON with GPS embedded for applications of localization and management of mobile work teams.
