1 1 Introduction Linde Fleet Scan The Linde Fleet Scan is a system for recording and documenting fleet activity for forklift trucks and other industrial vehicles. It is the first product in Comnovo's new Digital Fleet Optimisation (DFO) product range. By evaluating the movement of the truck, conclusions can be drawn for the improvement 1.1 Functional description First, battery-powered activity trackers are installed on vehicles.

UWB Dongle Gateway with accessories 1.3 Software components of the Linde Fleet Scan A Microsoft PowerApps application is used to configure the project. The evaluation is carried out with a Power BI dashboard. . The applications are interconnected and can be accessed with a Microsoft user account.
3 1.4 Intended use The components of the Linde Fleet Scan may only be used as intended. The safety instructions must be observed. 1.4.1 Limited release for use As of 03.2022, the Linde Fleet Scan is only approved for use in countries of the European Economic Area and may only be used in these countries. The use of the Linde Fleet Scan in other countries is not authorised by Comnovo. We will be happy to send you the current EU declarations of conformity on request. 1.4.
3 Important Note Changes or modifications made to this equipmentnot expressly approved by KION NORTH AMERICA or its authorized reseller respectively WILL void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. Note The use of devices mounted on outdoor structures, e. g. Static Units mounted on the outside of a building or any fixed outdoor infrastructure is prohibited. Only handheld devices may be used in mobile scenarios in mixed in-/outdoor mode.
4 1.5 Symbols used The signal terms DANGER, CAUTION, ATTENTION, NOTE and ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE are used in these operating instructions for information on special dangers or for unusual information requiring special labelling: NOTICE means that special attention is drawn to technical contexts because they may not be obvious even to professionals. DANGER means that there is a danger to life and/or considerable damage to property would occur if this is not observed.
5 2 Components 2.1 Activity Tracker 2 1 3 5 4 1. 2. 3. QR Code Name des Geräts Eindeutiger Identifier The Linde Fleet Scan is a system for recording and documenting fleet activity for fork lift trucks and other industrial vehicles. With a battery life of 14 days, the Activity Tracker measures the activity of the truck via an integrated motion sensor. 4. 5. Status LED Magnet CAUTION A lithium polymer battery can be damaged by deep discharge.
6 Status LEDs The status LED supports the operator during the charging process, commissioning and data transmission as follows: • • • • • • LED is off: The unit is active in the measurement or the unit is deactivated due to an empty battery. LED flashes red (1 time per second): The battery is being charged and has a charge level below 80%. LED flashes red (3 times per second): The battery is being charged and has a charge level below 80%. Measurement data is available on the device.
7 NOTICE The activity tracker is always active. The transport of the tracker is therefore also recorded. To ensure that the full memory capacity can be used for the measurement, we recommend fully charging the activity tracker directly next to a gateway immediately before the measurement. In this way, all data is transferred from the memory and deleted. Battery life The battery life of the Activity Tracker depends largely on the activity of the vehicle due to the measurement method used.
8 2.2 Charging station 2 3 4 5 1 1. 2. 3. Charging indicator LED Charging surface Micro-USB cable To charge the Activity Tracker, the unit must be positioned on the charging surface (2). The front side must be on the charging station. The charging station must be connected to the power supply at the USB connection (5) with the micro USB cable (3). 4. 5.
9 2.3 Gateway 4 3 1 2 1. 2. UWB Dongle USB-Adapter cable The gateway receives the measurement data from the trackers and sends it to the cloud. As the activity trackers do not have an integrated cellular module to save energy, the ultrawideband radio channel is used to transmit the data from the activity tracker to the gateway. The gateway has a cellular connection and can thus upload the data to the cloud database without interfering with the local IT infrastructure.
10 2.4 Performance Evaluation Software Two tools are available for analysing the data. Projects can be created in the web based PowerApps Linde Fleet Scan application. Data evaluation takes place in a linked Power BI dashboard. Create a user A Microsoft Windows account from the KION network is required to use the Linde Fleet Scan app. Please get in touch with your contact at Comnovo to set up a new user account. We will be happy to help you.
11 Entering the fleet data and assigning the activity trackers In this dialogue you can enter the fleet data. You can assign a name for the vehicle. Then enter the 4-digit code of the Activity Tracker for the corresponding vehicle. In the Workflow chapter, we present you with tools and descriptions for integration into the setup process. On the same page, you can enter further information from the vehicle. NOTICE The entry of break times is mandatory for the later evaluation of the workload.
12 2.5 Data Analysis The data analysis is realised Power BI Dashboard. The Dashboard is accessed via Dashboard" button in the application. in a linked Power BI the "View PowerApps NOTICE Achten Sie darauf, dass dem Projekt bereits Sensordaten zugeordnet sind. Ohne Sensordaten ist das Power BI Dashboard leer. Der Haken „This project is connected with sensor data“ muss auf grün stehen. Start screen In the start screen, the essential parameters of the fleet recording are displayed.
13 The presentation of the activity analysis follows two variants: 1. 2. 3. Breaks and shift times are taken into account (Shift Activity). Travel times outside the shift schedule are ignored in the calculation. The percentage activity is related to 24h of the day (24h). Percentage activity as in 1 with consideration of driving times outside shifts. (24h related to shift times) NOTICE The data from the PowerApp is used as a basis for the shift and break times.
14 To identify optimisation potential, look at the number of trucks in the group compared to the percentage of activity time of these stackers. It can happen that only a small percentage of all trucks in the group are active at the same time. All trucks belonging to the same group must have the same shift and break times. Parallel activity animated and aggregated This illustration provides a better understanding of the parallel activity.
15 3 Workflow- installation to evaluation The Linde Fleet Scan is based on: 1. 2. 3. the Activity Tracker, which is installed on vehicles to measure activity. the gateway to transfer the data to the cloud data analysis software. In this chapter, the components are explained based on the workflow. Phase 1: Setup Phase 2: Measurement Define the project Mount tracker 2 weeks Get fleet info 3.
1 Generate the report The reports can then be generated. Via the button View Dashboard the data can be displayed in the Power BI report. The detailed description of the evaluation graphics can be found in chapter 2.5.
2 4 Care and disposal 4.2 Disposal 4.1 Care CAUTION Damaged surfaces due to incorrect cleaning agents. • • Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning agents with abrasive particles. Regular cleaning of the Linde Fleet Scan components increases the service life of the system. Carry out the following steps after daily use: • • • Check components for dirt.
