What are IoT Sensors? What are IoT Sensors? Internet of Things or IoT sensors are hardware that can collect on-board data from the vehicles and send them to authorized software. These sensors are ideal for reducing human effort into fuel tracking, engine and tire supervision, etc.
Why Integrate Software with Sensors? On-board sensors collect crucial information such as vehicle load, tire pressure, engine health, and acceleration. They send this information to software that further curates and analyzes data to form actionable reports. With the help of the reports formed through sensor integration, fleet managers get necessary insights into their fleet productivity and expenses. They can then take appropriate measures to increase fleet efficiency.
Important Sensors For Important Sensors For Better Fleet Management Better Fleet Management When looking for good fleet management software, ensure that it allows flexible sensor integration. However, the following sensors are crucial for exponential business growth!
Fuel Level Sensors Fuel Level Sensors These sensors allow you to keep track of: Fuel filling Fuel ejection Fuel consumption Through fuel level sensors, you can stay safe from pileration and also understand the fuel consumption rate and patterns.
Accelerometers Accelerometers Accelerometers are ideal for tracking driver behavior such as: Braking pattern Rate of acceleration Harsh braking and abrupt acceleration lead to excessive fuel consumption that you can reduce by training drivers better.
Load Sensors Load Sensors Load sensors are a boon for the waste management and last-mile delivery sectors because they monitor the total weight on a vehicle. This information can be used for: Consignment tracking Proof of delivery Monitoring engine health
Cabin Thermometers Cabin Thermometers For vehicles carrying cold-chain supplies, cabin thermometers are ideal since they: Constantly monitor cabin temperature Alert fleet managers when the temperature falls or rises over recommended level
Tire Pressure Sensor Tire Pressure Sensor Tire pressure sensors are ideal for vehicle diagnostics and negate the importance of pre-drive vehicle surveys. They monitor tire PSI so that the manager gets an idea of the kind of maintenance the vehicle requires.
