About The Customer
Montrans is a Moscow-based company and is Russia’s leading transport monitoring company. Its satellite-based object monitoring systems are used by over 1,000 companies to track some 30,000 vehicles. With 100 employees, eight offices in Russia and one in the EU, it serves both small corporate vehicle fleets and the largest and strategically important infrastructure projects in Russia and the CIS, including Moscow International Airport, Power of Siberia, PSJC Gazprom, TurkStream and Yamal LNG.
The Challenge
Transport fleets are crucial for modern commerce, and their efficiency is paramount. However, as fleets grow in size, their management becomes increasingly complex. To keep track, organizations have equipped their fleet vehicles with sensors. However, the sheer volume of telemetry data they receive is difficult to consolidate and convert into meaningful reports that point to effective business decisions. Montrans, Russia’s leading transport monitoring company, faced this challenge. It started as a fuel consumption tracker but its systems have since grown in sophistication and it wanted to move away from static reports to provide interactive fleet control and data-driven management.
The Solution
Montrans formed a new service, Montrans Analytics, based on Qlik Sense technology. Initially, Montrans used Qlik Sense for its own internal operations, monitoring 50 cars. The company conducted pilot tests and was so impressed by the analytical power of the software that it signed an OEM deal with Qlik and went to market. The Montrans Analytics cloud solution is a comprehensive fleet management and control product that simplifies financial and technical administration tasks by combining all data under a single management and control standard. Sensors monitor the condition of the vehicle, its location and movement, mileage and fuel consumption, engine hours and even the way it is being driven. The system checks the availability of permits and authorizations, and enables operators to respond to emergency situations such as route deviations, service requirements or speed delays. It also provides useful information for bookkeeping and payments.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
