what the future holds.

"Bryan Brady, application specialist at Caterpillar, thinks the path down which the industry is headed is not only to provide project personnel with the appropriate data to do their jobs, but also to have this information come to them automatically without a lot of legwork"

RMTD -

High fuel prices have forced contractors to scrutinize the way their equipment is operated, notes Gary Hallgren, chief executive officer at Remote Dynamics Inc. in Plano, TX, a provider of asset-management information tools. Hallgren cites studies indicating that contractors can reduce their fuel consumption by 10% to 15% simply by monitoring speeding and idling and eliminating unnecessary vehicle trips. Excessive idling time can translate to a low ratio of fuel consumption to actual productive work.



trackkiwizzard , thanks for that DD. I know of another way RMTD can add to their fuel savings goals. SVMI Dynovalves are the first digital PCV valves, that captures fuel savings by reusing the gas that escapes.... Think about 25% - 50% fuel savings with both these systems. I'm very familiar with Data Delivery system they use and I know both systems would be compatible with each other.

"The system installs on any fuel, lube, or pickup truck, or on fuel stations or remote bulk tanks, and it can work alone or in conjunction with another OEM Data Delivery system that tracks equipment service hours".

Simons points out that contractors have two requirements in order to optimize fuel use: They must track the cost of legitimate fuel consumption, and they must prevent unauthorized use. OEM Data Delivery’s Secure Fuel System provides analytics on the consumption of fuel and customized multilayer security for fuel dispensing via password or authorized ID. The system uses a wireless device that identifies each vehicle, its location, and the fuel dispensed to it. Following dispensing, the equipment hours, mileage, and gallons dispensed are captured automatically, and GPS coordinates are stamped into the record.
