Top 10: What CDE Fleet Managers should be monitoring
Here are 10 key elements that we believe CDE Fleet Managers should be monitoring in their refrigeration fleet while using AoFrio IoT solutions.
These actions help maximize cooler uptime, optimize asset usage, support business compliance, and minimize field disruptions.
- Monitor asset locations - Regularly verify that all coolers are where they should be using the GPS-located data logged by Track app.
- Track asset lifetime and service needs - Review the age and service history of assets to identify when replacements or servicing are due.
- Check data uplink status - Ensure regular passive data transfer from each device to the cloud, confirming full fleet visibility.
- Analyze cooler performance stats - Monitor key metrics like temperature stability, compressor cycles, and energy usage for outliers.
- Detect asset movement or tampering - Track any moves—authorized or otherwise—using location change history and movement event logs.
- Review alarm and event reports - Look for repeated or severe alarms/events that indicate persistent or urgent issues fleet-wide.
- Ensure software and firmware currency - Keep apps and controller firmware updated to ensure compatibility and data security.
- Assess asset utilization rates - Determine which coolers are under- or over-utilized to optimize asset allocation and operational efficiency.
- Maintain access control and roles - Regularly audit user roles and access codes to support secure, compliant fleet management.
- Plan preventive maintenance - Schedule fleet-wide servicing based on data trends, usage patterns, and predictive analytics provided by AoFrio’s system.
