Using artificial intelligence (AI) to process live data from vehicle sensors, Stratio’s platform is being integrated with Freeway’s fleet maintenance system to provide crucial, real-time, information about on-the-road vehicle performance and condition.
Stratio’s technology is said to eliminate unplanned downtime and reduces maintenance costs using AI to predict faults in key components. Stratio is working closely with Freeway to spearhead the introduction of the new technology into the UK bus, coach and haulage sectors.
“There have long been demands for live diagnostic data from vehicles to be incorporated into vehicle maintenance planning,” says Patrick Tandy, managing director of Freeway. “With Stratio’s smart technology, there is at last a solution that delivers exactly what operators want. We see Stratio as a real game-changer, and work to integrate our respective platforms is already underway.”
Freeway provides a digital solution for vehicle maintenance and compliance with mobile devices synchronised with a central asset management system to eliminate paper across the engineering operation. Freeway also manages stores and purchasing.
“Freeway already integrates with operations, driver check, fuel, accounts and enterprise management system and we see Stratio as the final link in the chain; feeding in crucial real-time vehicle data so operators can be one step ahead of potential maintenance problems.” Tandy adds.
