关于客户
Windy City Limousine & Bus, based in Chicago, is the sixth-largest passenger transit company in the United States and the fastest-growing ground transportation company in the country. Founded in 2006 by a group of experienced executives in the passenger transit space, the company has a strong customer-focused mission. With a fleet of over 350 vehicles, including limousines, shuttles, and buses, Windy City is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and ensuring passenger safety. The company partnered with Samsara to leverage real-time data and enhance their operations, aiming to deliver a next-level customer experience.
挑战
Windy City Limousine & Bus faced significant challenges in managing their fleet and ensuring customer satisfaction. The dispatch department was overwhelmed with calls from customers inquiring about vehicle locations, especially during peak hours. The existing GPS tracking system was unreliable, leading to inefficiencies and delays in providing accurate information. Additionally, ensuring passenger safety was a top priority, but the existing safety monitoring system was reactive, relying on customer feedback and delayed video footage. The company needed a solution to provide real-time data, improve safety measures, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
解决方案
Windy City Limousine & Bus implemented Samsara's real-time data solutions to address their challenges. The dispatch team now uses the Samsara dashboard to quickly locate vehicles and provide accurate information to customers. This has significantly reduced the time spent on phone calls and improved customer satisfaction. For safety, Windy City utilizes Samsara HD dash cams and driver behavior data to enhance their coaching program. The real-time video footage and detailed incident data allow for more effective and timely coaching, leading to improved driving behavior and increased safety. Additionally, the maintenance department leverages live engine diagnostics and fault code alerts from Samsara to proactively address potential issues, reducing vehicle downtime and ensuring peak performance.

Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.”
