Lehnkering optimises fleet operation
New Punch Telematix system for Lehnkering’s trucks The Road Logistics & Services division of Lehnkering GmbH equips its fleet with a new telematics system to optimize the fleet operations. The trucks of the specialist for chemical and steel transport will be provided with “CarCube”, a computer system developed by the Belgian company Punch Telematix. This new system will be integrated in the In-House-Software CargoWare of the Lehnkering GmbH and it will account for further improvements in transport arrangements across locations. “We intend to offer perfect logistics services to our clients. Therefore, the perfect handling of business processes and information is of particular importance. With the flexible functions of CarCube combined with our software, we are able to operate complex logistics processes in an exact and proactive way”, says Sven Vogel, Head of the information technology of the Lehnkering Group. “This is a milestone for us to implement a seamless process integration beginning with the IT-systems of our clients up to our drivers.“ CargoWare reports continuously the current position and the “track & trace information” of the vehicles. Therefore the company is able to plan efficiently the disposition of its trucks to avoid empty runs as much as possible. Submitted telemetric data and a telematic assistant analysing the driving style in terms of braking, changing gears or acceleration, also helps to reduce fuel consumption. In addition, the on-board computer transmits all order and delivery data, works as a navigation and communication system that can be used as a handsfree set and for sending text messages.
