80 results about "Fleet management" patented technology

Fleet (vehicle) management can include a range of functions, such as vehicle leasing and financing, vehicle maintenance, licensing and compliance, supply chain management, accident management and subrogation, vehicle telematics (tracking and diagnostics), driver management, speed management, fuel management, health and safety management, and vehicle remarketing. Fleet Management is a function which allows companies which rely on transportation in business to remove or minimize the risks associated with vehicle investment, improving efficiency, productivity and reducing their overall transportation and staff costs, providing 100% compliance with government legislation (duty of care) and many more. These functions can be dealt with by either an in-house fleet-management department or an outsourced fleet-management provider. According to market research from the independent analyst firm, Deloitte, the number of light duty vehicles registered in commercial fleets in Europe as of 2016 was 15 million, and 19.5 million in North America Even with these record numbers of registration, light duty vehicles represent only 62% of all fleet sales.

Integrated autonomous warehouse robot

An autonomous warehouse robotics system integrates a multi-sensor platform, adaptive payload handling, dynamic task reallocation, advanced navigation, energy management, and comprehensive safety features into one mobile robot chassis. The system utilizes LiDAR, stereo vision, ultrasonic sensors, mmWave radar, thermal cameras, and event cameras to perform complete environmental sensing and obstacle detection. Sensor fusion combines adaptive weighting, multi-modal data integration, and statistical filtering to create high-confidence maps for reactive path planning and collision avoidance. The robot's payload system features machine vision for item recognition, telescopic lifts, variable-width grippers, and real-time toolhead verification to handle a variety of goods. Fleet management is achieved through dynamic task reallocation that considers robot location, battery level, and operational delays, all coordinated by a cross-platform middleware architecture that ensures standardized communication, remote monitoring, and over-the-air updates among diverse robot brands. Energy management optimizes power usage via predictive routing, autonomous return-to-charge, and auction-based scheduling. Safety is maintained through proximity detection, behavior-based intervention, and human-robot cohabitation protocols while advanced localization is enhanced by fusing ultra-wideband positioning with visual landmark alignment, inertial sensing, and machine learning to deliver high accuracy in non-line-of-sight conditions. An onboard edge AI module further refines navigation and task prioritization through neural network inference, ensuring robust, adaptive operation in dynamic, unstructured warehouse environments.
