That is because they often think that the path from downloading to creation of a finished report is long and complicated. But it’s not true. Solutions exist that can fully or partially automate this process. The data can flow directly to the archiving software or in the case of driver data with a single click. Many of these programs can also evaluate the data immediately. Fleet managers can obtain an overview of the fleet and drivers and increase their efficiency. An example is VDO TIS-Web from the tachograph manufacturer Continental, which generates reports from the data. This software was developed in conjunction with the digital tachograph and the download tools. It also displays violations that were registered by the tachograph, so fleet managers can act quickly and avoid fines. What Continental’s individual tools can do Continental offers fleets of all sizes the perfect infrastructure for the tachograph: DLK Pro Download Key S – easy manual download This is a cost-effective solution in compact format for easy manual downloading and archiving of driver card and mass memory data, which can be transferred to a PC via the USB interface. DLK Pro TIS-Compact S – first step for data evaluation With the DLK Pro TIS-Compact S, you can do more than just download and archive data manually the device also enables initial data evaluations. The data can be transferred to other PC applications via the export function. VDO SmartTerminal – staying independent of office hours The terminal is a standalone solution. No PC in the background is required for reading out the driver card and transmitting data from the download key and this makes it ideal for fleets in which the drivers work independently of office hours. Users operate the terminal via a large touchscreen display similar to that of a tablet, and data transfer from the terminal to the PC takes place via Wi-Fi or network connection (Ethernet LAN). DLDWide Range II – automatic download on the road This is the perfect hardware solution for downloading datawhile on the road. The DLD Wide Range II is linked to the digital tachograph and it automatically sends the encrypted vehicle and driver card data via SIM card at fixed intervals. TIS-Web – Evaluating tachograph data and keeping track of fleets The software TIS-Web DMM 5.0 enables fleet managers to comply with all the legal requirements for archiving. They can see at a glance if something is amiss. Reports, statistics and automatic reminders simplify their everyday work. In addition, TIS-Web Motion provides dispatchers with real-time information on drivers and vehicles. Connect, inform, integrate. Along these strategic pillars the business area Vehicle Networking and Information (VNI) develops building blocks and end-to-end systems for the networked mobility: hardware, software and services. With solutions for connectivity, human-machine interaction, systems integration and high-performance computing for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and fleets, VNI enables proper networking and a seamless information flow. www.vdo-fleet .co.uk a member of the Stertil Group Tel. 0870 770 0471, info@stertil.co.uk, ww w.stertil-dockproducts.co.uk • Improved Protection: Reduces the risk of accidents and litigation. • Improved Security: Reduces unwanted tampering and theft. • Improved Health & Safety: Provides ‘reasonably practical’ precaution. • Versatility: Suitable for HGVs including vehicles with ‘tail lifts’. • Positive Positioning: Automatically restrains the rear wheel of the HGV. • Integrated Control: Can be interlocked with existing dock products. • Easily Retro Fitted: No civil works required. • Demonstrations: Available at our Northampton demo theatre.
