The new contracts cover an enterprise-wide upgrade of I.D. Systems' state-of-the-art PowerFleet Vision™ software, enhancements to the system's material handling productivity optimization module, and a new generation of automated system health analytics and reporting.

About Wireless Vehicle Management Systems (VMS)

I.D. Systems' wireless VMS consists of intelligent wireless devices (Vehicle Asset Communicators®) installed on powered industrial vehicles (such as forklifts and pallet movers), a patented RF communication system, and software for access control, utilization analysis, real-time location tracking, and many other functions. The VMS helps improve industrial workplace safety and security by restricting vehicle access to trained, authorized operators and by providing electronic safety inspection checklists. The VMS helps reduce maintenance expenses by automatically uploading vehicle data, reporting vehicle problems in real time, giving management the option of scheduling maintenance according to actual vehicle usage rather than on a calendar basis, and helping plant management determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment. The VMS also helps improve productivity by ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time and by providing management with unique reports on vehicle utilization.
