Vnomics Expands Availability With New Partnership with Geotab

True Fuel® application now available on the Geotab Marketplace

Vnomics Expands Availability With New Partnership with Geotabab

Rochester, New York– March 08, 2021 -- Vnomics Corp., the provider of True Fuel®, a proven fuel saving technology that combines real-time driver coaching with insightful fuel efficiency data, today announced the availability of True Fuel on the Geotab Marketplace, a go-to source for top organizations to better manage their fleets.

Seamlessly integrating with the Geotab platform, the True Fuel solution coaches drivers, in-cab and in real-time, on fuel efficient driving practices and simultaneously measures and analyzes real-time driver behavior and fuel consumption in Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks to provide Geotab customers with greater insight into their fleets. By isolating and quantifying driver behavior and vehicle configuration impact on fuel consumption separately, driver managers and fleet managers can accurately identify fuel waste and provide a basis for making informed operational changes with respect to fuel efficiency. Going further, True Fuel allows fleet managers to assess driver performance in a fair and transparent way, enabling businesses to institute a fuel-based incentive program based on driver fuel performance.


“We are thrilled to add Geotab, one of the industry’s leading innovators, to our growing network of integration partners,” said Bob Magnant, vice president, product management at Vnomics. “By providing access to greater data insights and coaching tools, the availability of True Fuel on the Geotab Marketplace opens up exciting opportunities, not only for Vnomics, but also for Geotab customers. Rather than relying on miles per gallon (MPG), True Fuel allows fleet customers to increase their fuel efficiency and implement a fair fuel-based incentive through its patented application."

Through this partnership, the True Fuel solution provides Geotab customers with real-time audible coaching and tools to help drivers and fleets reduce fuel waste by increasing their fuel efficiency. Fleet and driver managers will have access to True Fuel’s data-rich fuel analytics directly through the MyGeotab platform or from True Fuel’s automated email reports. Going a step further, this solution enables drivers to access self-serve analytics for greater visibility into their fuel performance and further coaching through an optional mobile app.

“With a continued emphasis on sustainability and helping our customers improve efficiency, Geotab is focused on providing users with access to a variety of fuel-focused solutions via the Geotab Marketplace,” said Louis De Jong, executive vice president at Geotab. “Through partners such as Vnomics, we are better positioned to help current and prospective customers reduce gas emissions caused by inefficient driving behavior and help empower incentive programs with data-rich analytics.”

True Fuel’s real-time in-cab coaching has been proven to help improve fuel-inefficient driving behaviors, resulting in a 3% to 10% reduction in fleet fuel consumption annually. By utilizing the True Fuel solution, current users, ranging from large enterprise carriers to small fleets, have saved over 100 million gallons of fuel.

The True Fuel application is now fully integrated with the Geotab tool suite and is available with the GO9 and GO9+ devices via Geotab’s Pro or ProPlus subscription packages.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
