#1 You like solving mysteries, such as:
- How long has that dent been there?
- Why didn’t the operators mention this truck needs service?
- Where is my XYZ forklift?
#2 You Like Doing Things The Old Fashioned Way
Collecting data manually is time-consuming, and it doesn’t give you the full picture. A telematics system puts equipment data at your fingertips and delivers insights into driver behavior you can’t get any other way.
Clark’s SMART telematics can be installed on any forklift, regardless of make, model, or age. It can even be used on mixed fleets across multiple locations. Here’s what the platform includes:
Clark SMART Telematics
Clark SMART includes:
- Driver Behavior Reports
- Performance Metrics
- GPS Tracking
- Equipment Utilization Reports
- Service History
- Maintenance Notifications
- Impact Alerts
Every Clark SMART unit can use both cellular (mobile data) and WiFi. Get real time updates on your:
- Smartphone
- Tablet
- Laptop
- or Desktop Computer
Clark SMART telematic units can be attached to virtually any forklift or material handling equipment — even electric pallet jacks. There are no monthly fees, and installation takes two hours or less.
As mentioned above, Clark SMART can be used on mixed fleets across multiple locations. The system is very easy to use, but our team will make sure you have everything set up just the way you want it.
The Clark SMART system also integrates seamlessly with an AI camera system. Advanced sensors detect reflective tape on high-visibility safety gear, transforming standard high-vis vests into an active pedestrian detection solution for forklifts and other mobile equipment.
