Uptake Enhances Its Predictive Maintenance Technology through Daimler Truck North America’s Data-as-a-Service Model
DTNA customers will have access to
Uptake’s data-driven insights to help reduce unplanned fleet downtime and
maintenance costs with increased predictability
CHICAGO
and PORTLAND, Ore. —February 16, 2023— Uptake, a leader in
predictive analytics software-as-a-service (SaaS), has entered into a
commercial agreement withDaimler Truck North America LLC (DTNA), a leading manufacturer and provider of commercial vehicle
products, services and technologies. The agreement will enable the use of
innovative data-as-a-service (DaaS) technology to powerUptake Fleet, Uptake’s comprehensive predictive maintenance and work order analytics
technology for the transportation industry.
Through
this DaaS agreement and upon customer consent, DTNA will facilitate streaming
of the necessary data to power Uptake Fleet. Uptake will administer the
technology to help fleets optimize vehicle lifecycles and reduce repair costs
using predictive vehicle maintenance.By
analyzing information from subsystem sensors and work orders, Uptake can
predict vehicle problems well in advance of a fault code and recommend
corrective actions before they lead to costly repairs, delays or roadside
breakdowns.
“Trucking
companies are facing unprecedented challenges today, from delays in acquiring
parts to labor shortages and rising repair and maintenance costs,” said Kayne
Grau, CEO of Uptake. “Since its inception, Uptake has been focused on
connecting data, assets and operators. Our agreement with DTNA will provide our
customers and partners with even more data-driven insights to ensure fleets are
fully operational, safe and reliable.”
Uptake
will deploy 65 data-science models to help DTNA customers save money by
minimizing their number of unplanned maintenance events. Uptake Fleet also
offers real-time intelligence on the performance of individual vehicle parts
and subsystems. Using predictive maintenance, operators buy only the parts they
need when they need them, and tailor repair schedules to individual vehicles
based on their actual usage.
“Daimler
Truck North America is committed to using cutting-edge technologies so our
customers can get the longest and most impactful life from their vehicles,”
said Sanjiv Khurana of DTNA. “It is encouraging that Uptake is exploring new
ways of leveraging data to optimize the performance of our trucks, and we are
excited to explore the potential this brings.”
DTNA
customers will be able to utilize Uptake’s recently announced new
capabilities in Uptake Fleet, effective immediately. Leading the additions is
an expanded Work Order Analytics capability that enables users to predict
vehicle failures down to the component level for more detailed and accurate
decision-making. Also included in Uptake Fleet’s enhancements is support for a
number of popular sensor analytics endpoints, which fleets can leverage to
optimize their maintenance scheduling and further reduce vehicle breakdowns.
