LAS VEGAS, Feb. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the release of its Trimble®
TrimFleet™ Mobile Connect for ready mix concrete operations. The
solution is an extension of the TrimFleet Mobile software suite
that is wirelessly connected to the Trimble TVG850 telematics
device. It is the first Android™-based application to provide
auto-status technology throughout the ready mix delivery
cycle.
The announcement was made at World of Concrete 2016, one of the
largest international exhibitions for the construction industry.
The new TrimFleet Mobile Connect is being demonstrated at the
Trimble Construction Logistics booth N1037 in the North Hall.
"As technology continues to evolve, the industry is seeking
solutions that enable improved efficiency and productivity," said
John Rice, general manager of
Trimble's Construction Logistics Division. "With TrimFleet Mobile
Connect, our customers have a solution that automatically collects
and shares data on an extensible platform so that intelligent
business decisions can be made quickly and easily."
TrimFleet Mobile Connect provides valuable information to
drivers, dispatchers and management within ready mix operations.
Drivers using TrimFleet Mobile Connect no longer have to initiate
status updates throughout the delivery cycle and can access
CoPilot® Truck™ navigation, text and voice communications, driver
ID and delivery information on an Android display. Leveraging the
TVG850, TrimFleet Mobile Connect can decrease driver interaction
associated with push-button solutions and offer more reliable
status and communications via the telematics device's onboard WiFi
and cellular capabilities.
With TrimFleet Mobile Connect, dispatch and management benefit
from more accurate status updates sent automatically to TrimView,
Trimble's office software solution for improved construction
logistics management.
