connect:desk in Detail
Dashboard
The dashboard serves as the communication hub for connect:desk. Fleet managers can use individually adaptable widgets, such as the calendar, forklift truck notifications and accesses, to monitor and inspect their fleet. All messages are forwarded to them directly by email if necessary.
Organization
In the organization area, fleet managers can edit the driver, job location, assigned forklift trucks and other information. The hierarchically structured list display offers an overview of the organizational structure and simplifies the assignment and management of access and usage rights.
Administration
Tables, detailed views and various input elements enable flexible viewing, maintenance and expansion of large amounts of data. For example, it is possible to manage drivers' licenses, training and health checks easily.
Zones
In the zones area, fleet managers use their own hall or plant plans to plan and configure zone areas and hall accesses and define automated speed adjustments if necessary. For example, forklift truck speed is controlled in a targeted manner at crossings or in narrow areas, which increases safety.
Transparency with Reports and Analyses
Based on the comprehensive data on the forklift truck fleet, connect:desk can be used to call up just under 30 interactive reports on the fleet, individual areas, forklift trucks or drivers. The data is displayed in clearly arranged diagrams and tables. This means that fleet managers know precisely who used which forklift truck, when and how. There are a total of four report categories:
Log book
The log book provides an overview of all recorded events for the individual forklift trucks. The pre-op check table lists all pre-op checks carried out for the selected forklift trucks as well as the associated answers from the drivers. Interactive diagrams display conspicuous battery charge statuses and log outs and can be grouped according to driver and forklift truck.
Usage
The usage analysis provides an overview of the usage and capacity utilization of all forklift trucks. The interactive diagram shows how long and for what purpose the drivers have used the selected forklift trucks. It also lists shock values, the progression of the battery charge status and the distribution of the zone passages.
Service
The service area lists the service and maintenance dates for all fleet forklift trucks. On this basis, fleet managers can bundle maintenance dates in a targeted manner and reduce costs.
Coordination
The coordination category provides data about drivers as well as the usage and capacity utilization of all forklift trucks. The forklift truck distribution provides an overview of the composition of the entire fleet – organized according to manufacturer, forklift truck type and other criteria. The fleet lists all forklift trucks with their most important characteristics. All training carried out and outstanding for the drivers can be found under driver training.
