From Bosch tools for fleet reliability and efficiency

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Fleet reliability and efficiency are critical in fleet management. With customized software and services, Bosch supports mobility and logistics service providers in their daily work, helping to optimize fleet performance and increase safety and profitability in a sustainable way. Indeed, by integrating the fleet with data in the cloud, efficient monitoring and planning can be performed. For this, Bosch offers innovative services and software solutions tailored to the specific needs of individual operators.These are Bosch’s services for fleet efficiency and safety.RideCare: Installed in fleet vehicles, the service detects vehicle body damage, smoke inside the passenger compartment and risky maneuvers in real time. With a sensor box in the vehicle, Bosch combines cloud-based data analysis using artificial intelligence. Repair or cleaning tasks can thus be carried out more quickly, optimizing fleet management while improving the customer experience.Wrong-way driver warning: with this cloud-based system, Bosch has developed a solution that warns not only the driver proceeding in the wrong direction, but also all other road users who are in the danger area. It takes only a few seconds, so much less than radio news. The life-saving alert appears directly on the vehicle’s instrument panel display, using the GPS location of the vehicle or phone, without the need for additional hardware.Vehicle Health Services: Vehicle Health records standardized, manufacturer-specific error codes as well as notifications in the vehicle and evaluates them in the cloud. Any impending problems are recognized promptly and presented clearly, suggesting immediate responses such as maintenance. This greatly reduces the number of unexpected breakdowns, making it easier for operators to plan.Cloud-based diagnostics: vehicle problems can be reliably identified and analyzed remotely and resolved efficiently. Fleet operators get not only a clear and understandable description of diagnosed faults and their respective fault codes, but also an assessment of risk and criticality. In addition, further actions are suggested, such as going to the workshop as soon as possible. For this purpose, the vehicle diagnostic data is transferred to the cloud and subjected to further processing and analysis. The system provides accurate information to locate the cause of the fault.Predictive diagnostics: fleet operators are alerted to potential faults and problems before they occur. Based on the connected vehicle’s diagnostic data, the intelligent service detects faults in the vehicle’s components and systems and, if possible, calculates their remaining service life. Fleet managers are thus able to prevent failures in their fleets with proactive measures and efficiently plan necessary workshop visits over the long term.Automotive Connectivity Hub: a solution that can be retrofitted to any vehicle, regardless of manufacturer, providing access to vehicle operational and diagnostic data and thus enabling a wide range of data-driven services.Battery in the Cloud: for electric vehicles, this service offers, for example, improved performance and durability of high-voltage batteries. With the help of continuously recorded data on battery status and usage, it can analyze high-voltage batteries, predict their aging and defects, and optimize their fast-charging behavior for longer life, thereby improving the reliability and economy of electric vehicles. It is a solution that analyzes battery data to determine its condition and, through optimization measures, helps extend battery life by up to 20 percent, with the goal of extending vehicle life and conserving resources.Usage Certificate To Go: adds to Battery in the Cloud services. This is a retrofit solution: battery data is uploaded to the cloud and is used to assess the health of the battery. The result is displayed in a certificate for the service provider. The new service targets vehicles already on the market. Therefore, this ideally supports customer groups such as mobility service providers, fleet managers, inspection companies, garages, remarketing companies, car dealers, and even automobile associations. The non-falsifiable “certificate of use” documents the condition of the batteries throughout their useful life, thus providing a more accurate picture of the residual value of the batteries should the car be sold.
