RFID Solutions for Fleet Maintenance

Overview Efficient fleet maintenance is absolutely necessary given today's high equipment costs and climbing operating expenses. GAO RFID Inc. Fleet Maintenance Solutions include mobile and fixed scanners, mobile computers and Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems, along with applications from industry-leading partners, to help to streamline the maintenance operations. By capturing, moving and managing vehicle data across the enterprise, the solutions reduce truck maintenance costs and optimize fleet utilization. GAO RFID technology will help reduce vehicle downtime by ensuring fixes are made only when necessary - rather than according to a pre-established plan, and therefore greatly increase overall efficiency of the fleet and profitability of the business.
