ObjectFX Technology Utilized in Eaton's Fleet Advisor Transportation Logistics Management SystemEaton Senior Product Manager Richard Miller noted, "Our customers are very enthused about this new visual tool. In addition to making their dispatchers much more efficient, it gives them the added ability to track by driver. And they seem to be impressed with how intuitive the system is. Some have told us they've even been able to start using it without referring to the manual." Mark Tudor, ObjectFX's CEO and President said, "We are extremely pleased that Eaton chose to incorporate SpatialFX technology in its Fleet Advisor transportation logistics management system. This is a true testimonial to the value that real-time wireless communications and interactive views add to enterprise-wide management systems." SpatialFX technology accesses dynamic GPS-generated information in Eaton's database to reveal real-time views. The point-and-click interface improves the system's functionality and ease-of-use by enabling users to easily hone in on the performance of a particular truck, driver or route at any time, as well as the collective performance of several vehicles or drivers in an operating area. Color-coded status indicators reveal exceptions to route plans at a glance. Identification of exceptions such as early or late arrival/departure or extended route-stop and route-leg duration facilitates early detection of problems and minimizes crisis situations. The system maps "breadcrumb" progress with controllable frequency updates, and its open GIS architecture provides the means to utilize source maps from a variety of vendors. Since the program runs in a client/server environment, it may be available across all local area and wide area networks within a customer's enterprise.
