The Power And Potential Of Telematics

摘要

At the recent telematics conference in Nashville, Tenn., sponsored by the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), many of the speakers gave the nearly 300 attendees a glimpse into their companies' use of telematics, demonstrating the technology's power and potential. "There's usually a point in the equipment owner's experience that becomes a breaking point for the decision to implement telematics," says Daniel Samford, GEM, vice president, corporate equipment, Herzog Contracting. That point for Herzog, he says, involved a project change order that caused additional equipment expenses beyond the project-bid scope. The project owner challenged Herzog's claim, which amounted to significant dollars, says Samford.
