The Raymond Corp. has two new versions of its iWarehouse forklift fleet optimization solution. The iWarehouse Essential and iWarehouse Enterprise combine fleet efficiency, warehouse optimization, and professional services.

iWarehouse Essential provides access control and compliance and monitors and collects lift truck and operator data in real time, providing warehouse managers with increased visibility of their assets and labor performance. iWarehouse Enterprise turns collected asset and labor information into actionable data that help warehouse managers identify opportunities for fleet and warehouse optimization. The solution integrates with select labor management systems (LMSs) to help increase productivity and reduce operating costs.

Complete with a variety of data-tracking modules, iWarehouse Essential provides increased warehouse and lift truck fleet visibility. The iWarehouse Essential solution uses real-time information from the operating systems of lift trucks to enable warehouse managers to track important information and identify ways to improve operator and lift truck performance. The iWarehouse Essential's basic configuration allows for control, monitoring, and tracking of lift truck and fleet usage. It also automates vehicle access and provides an electronic operator checklist that is recorded and stored for OSHA compliance.

Complementing iWarehouse Essential, iWarehouse Enterprise is able to manage and report truck, fleet, and operator data to enhance fleet optimization as well as provide data and analysis for actionable business solutions for warehouse optimization. Integration with select LMS systems can provide greater warehouse visibility, increase asset utilization, and provide information to audit labor standards to help increase employee productivity.
