The Added Value of Deploying Sensor Based Networks
We often talk about the importance of being efficient. How intelligent technology can enhance business processes to save the bottom line. How streamlining workflow can contribute to a significant return on investment. This is all true.
But what we don’t discuss often enough is how technology, when used effectively, can have a significant impact on the environment. For me, I am particularly proud to be a part of this contribution. I know that when our SensorSMART Technology Platform is deployed it will contribute immediately to the management of large, moveable assets.
Customers’ have reported and unanticipated and immediate 35% waste reduction immediately upon deployment. For instance, this could very easily have been achieved through an Automated Gate Access Solution. IntelliGATE reduces the amount of paperwork and identification needed at yard access points. Instantly truck idle times are reduced by 2, 3, 6 minutes each! Can you image what that can add up to in fuel savings in one year? And what that alone would mean to the environment?
Equipment and machines can often be difficult to locate at large scale construction sites. Sometimes ordering duplicates saves from costly downtime. But with asset tracking, needed equipment is located easily. Instantly waste is reduced.
When we embrace intelligent technology, and use it properly, it can have a tremendous impact on a company’s global footprint. Maybe this isn’t something we really talk about, but in my opinion, that’s one serious value added benefit.
