According to the company, its VC6096 in-vehicle/fixed mount mobile computer enables the collection of business-essential data including mileage, location, driver performance and vehicle metrics such as hours of service and arrival and departure times.
With integrated GPS, the VC6096 provides the asset visibility needed to support real-time location-based applications from directions for drivers to fleet location for dispatchers. The new VC6096 is said to improve the safety and lifecycle of vehicle fleets with integrated SAE J1708 and SAE J1939 telematics support.
The new computer offers transportation customers with the tools for automatic monitoring and collection of engine operation information – providing dispatchers with visibility into engine error codes to improve overall maintenance, driver productivity, and vehicle utilization.
The VC6096 can also provide information on the driving patterns of mobile workers to identify safety issues, eliminate unnecessary wear and tear on vehicles and minimize fuel consumption. It offers an open platform that enables customers to select and control applications and peripherals that meet their business needs.
Brian Viscount, vice president of mobile computing at Motorola’s enterprise mobility business, said: The VC6096 improves the efficiency of mobile workers on the road with real-time connectivity and instant communication when and where they need it. By enabling organizations to more quickly, easily and accurately capture relevant driver and vehicle data, enterprises will reduce paperwork and increase efficiency by automating the driver logs, time cards, and highway fuel tax reports.
