See how we helped a refrigerated storage logistics pioneer efficiently plan their maintenance efforts using predictive analytics insights from a host of Microsoft Business Solutions.
The refrigerated transport industry is redefining its standards through cutting-edge technology. Temperature monitoring systems, automated security platforms, rule-based alarms, time-based reporting, and more have helped overcome many logistical problems. But maintaining a fleet of these vehicles is still a Herculean task. It is not enough to detect problems in real-time anymore. Proactive maintenance of these trucks is essential to prevent problems like temperature loss and equipment failure even before they might occur. For refrigerated storage specialists, ensuring they are one step ahead is also crucial in offering excellent customer service every time. This is where predictive analytics comes in.
The deluge of data coming in from the many intelligent systems running on these trailers can be sorted and processed to uncover insights.
The deluge of data coming in from the many intelligent systems running on trailers can be processed to uncover insights on the day-to-day functioning of the fleet and to schedule maintenance on time.
The customer, one of the largest refrigerated storage specialists in the US, provides full life cycle support for products requiring cold storage. They had collected a vast amount of data from the service and operation records of their assets and wanted to implement a robust predictive analytics solution. They wanted to use data-driven insights to proactively schedule maintenance efforts and therefore, offer better customer service.
Nevertheless, the deluge of data on their hands had a number of problems:
