Omnitracs Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Inc., a provider of integrated wireless systems, applications and services to transportation and logistics companies, announced the availability of its Vehicle Maintenance application on the Mobile Computing Platform 50 (MCP50). Vehicle Maintenance captures important engine and vehicle diagnostic information and sends it to drivers and fleet managers so that service can be proactively scheduled to reduce repair costs.
Initially launched in 2008 and also available on Omnitracs MCP110 and MCP200, the application monitors the most common engine fault codes and periodically reports vehicle diagnostic information and when alerts are generated. Fleets may configure the reporting intervals to align with their business needs. Back office personnel receive the notifications via an intuitive web interface or emails, while drivers are notified of engine faults on the in-cab display. This insight allows drivers and managers to easily view and correct problems that arise, while also enabling fleets to direct vehicles to the best inspection and service locations for preventative repairs to minimize on-road and out-of-network failures.
Vehicle Maintenance provides the option to view both current and historical information about each vehicle or the entire fleet, making it easier to plan and schedule regular maintenance. Managers are able to quickly spot critical issues on one consolidated page, as well as sort and filter information for improved workflow efficiency. Vehicle View provides a more detailed diagnostic, location and profile snapshot, along with graphical representations of generated data, to improve analysis and resolution of reported fault conditions.
Omnitracs MCP50 is a mobile fleet management solution that helps transportation companies increase productivity and manage safety and regulatory compliance. The MCP50 offers flexible pricing plans, enabling fleets to cost effectively adopt applications most critical to their operational needs. The Vehicle Maintenance application is included with Omnitracs Premium Plan. Other applications available on the MCP50 include: Analytics Manager; Critical Event Reporting; Hours of Service; In-Cab Navigation; Performance Monitoring with Fuel Manager; and Vehicle Inspection Report.
