Real-time alerts for underperforming assets

Purpose

1. Automatedly deliver real-time alerts when forklifts or assets show signs of underperformance, automating early intervention to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

2. Automate monitoring across key performance metrics (utilization rate, engine health, idle times, error codes) to speed up response and improve operational efficiency.

3. Automatedly consolidate data from telematics, rental management systems, and maintenance logs for unified analysis.

4. Automating alert-triggered workflows, escalation to responsible teams, auditable event logging, and historical analytics for compliance and optimization.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automate triggers for low utilization below defined threshold.

2. Automate detection of frequent error codes or maintenance flags.

3. Automate alerts when real-time telemetry indicates engine overheating or battery depletion.

4. Automate conditional logic: e.g., alert only for assets at specific locations or contracts.
