Why Transportation Needs AR
The transportation industry is changing fast – facing skills shortages, increasingly complex technologies in boats, on trucks and railways. It also faces huge and increasingly demand for its services – and that means keeping downtime to a minimum.
“Downtime keeps trucks off the road. If a truck is off the road, the company (or person) that owns it does not make money and neither does the driver – who is a big stakeholder in this (especially when the driver is also the owner operator). Asset utilization is the key performance indicator in trucking.”
