Fleet management for safety security and eficiency

Haulotte has introduced Advanced Access Management (AAM), a cutting-edge feature integrated into the Sherpal telematics solution. Designed to redefine safety, security, and fleet efficiency, AAM empowers fleet managers to control machine access and usage remotely while increasing operators’ safety and reducing unauthorized operations.

AAM provides  control over machine access and usage, allowing fleet managers to secure their assets while enhancing job site safety. Whether managing a single machine or an entire fleet, operators can only access equipment using a predefined code or RFID card, ensuring that only trained personnel are authorized to operate.

Features include:

• Single user or multiple users: Control access for an individual operator or a group.
• Customizable fleet options: Apply restrictions to specific machines or entire fleets.
• Super user privileges: Grant special access to specific operators or technicians to bypass restrictions when necessary.

By using its own IoT solution Haulotte can now send information right from the machine. This is important for the safety of the machine and operator because it allows Haulotte to send information to the machine computer to limit machine movement in the safest way.

AAM offers robust features to regulate machine operation. Geofence prevents machines from operating outside a predefined area; leaving this zone restricts lifting functions and limits speed. Timefence only allows machines to operate during specific times, preventing unauthorized out-of-hours usage. Faulty tracker protection restricts use if a tracker is removed or damaged. Remote restriction enables managers to manually restrict machine usage to address evolving site conditions.

What distinguishes Haulotte’s AAM is that it never leaves the machine completely immobilized. Even when restrictions are activated, operators are still allowed to operate for essential safety manoeuvres, such as lowering a basket or moving equipment at low speed. Additionally, operators can access system status on the machine’s interface, offering a user-friendly experience that improves comfort for operators on the job site.

“By designing and mastering the IoT chain, we’ve created a solution that not only secures machines but enhances the user experience,” said Frédéric Menini. “This ensures that even during restricted usage, operators can safely move machines for essential operations, such as loading or repositioning. Thanks to our mastery of our IoT solution, the knowledge of our market and the uses of our machines, we have created the best customer experience for machine access management. The implementation of AAM is straightforward, allowing fleet managers to quickly and efficiently define access levels, manage working areas, set operational times, and apply real-time usage restrictions,” concludes Frédéric.
