Expanding the Range of Wireless Solutions for Mobile Equipment Management
Agenda • Problem Statement
• Project Participants
• Reference clients using similar system solution
• Why CFAMS– Wireless system benefits
– Top four fleet management issues
• System architecture
• Standard reports - enabling lean logistics
• Location tracking and remote management capability
• ROI case studies
• Summary
Problem Statement
• DoD owns, operates and maintains thousands of industrial fleet vehicles.– Significant ongoing over-maintenance (calendar time
vs. actual motion time)
– No positive control over the location of assets
– No key control or operator accountability
Lead Project Participants
• DoD: Anniston Army Depot
• Industry: I.D. Systems, Inc.
Other participants: Ford Motor Company (industry observer and current user) Sierra Army Depot (Depot observer)

Primary Benefits of CFAMS • Increase operational readiness of industrial vehicle fleet
– Drives expanded productivity at the depot
– Reduces maintenance expenditure
– Reduces capital expenditure on equipment procurement
• Enables Lean/Six Sigma programs for process improvement– Real-time access to detailed operational productivity data
– Facilitates “doing more with less”
• Reduction of lost work-time accidents and asset damage

Why CFAMS?
Paper-based management: labor-intensive; no access control; no real-time visibility; human error
Non-wireless electronic systems: data collection labor; unreliable access control; no real-time visibility
Wireless systems: proven effective/reliable for access control, real-time data & asset visibility, data accuracy, safety/maintenance/productivity improvements, and rapid return on investment
