Indesit

Indesit is the number 1, freestanding brand in Europe and one of the major appliance brands in the UK, who pride themselves on developing products that ease the pressures of modern day life and take the hassle out of everyday chores. Efficient, reliable and easy to use, they are full of innovative solutions that make your life easier.

The prime objective was to reduce the amount of damage being incurred to the white goods at the Central Distribution Centres across Europe, including fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers. Additionally, Indesit were keen to introduce improvements to their health & safety process and efficiency levels for the fleet of over 150 fork lift trucks.

Careful consideration of the unique set of challenges at their Distribution Centre at Raunds, Northants, led Davis Derby to recommend the TruckLOG TK5 Fleet Management system with the shock sensor option. Smart Cards were selected as the means to restrict vehicle access to authorised drivers while the system’s adjustable shock sensors were enhanced by fitting bump strips enabling even glancing contact to be detected.

While helping Indesit meet its health and safety obligations through controlled driver access and a customised Pre-Operational check system the TK5 shock option integrates with management software to report on impacts above the company’s acceptable threshold. This in turn promotes responsible driving among operatives and reduces damage related costs. Further cost savings and increased energy efficiency are delivered by the adjustable idle timer.

Paul Penfold, Indesit’s LGV Fleet Operations Manager, comments, “This system provides the controls, and delivers the information we need, to be able to significantly reduce damage within our warehouse. The Smart Card system allows only drivers who are suitably qualified, trained and authorised to operate our forklifts and the adjustable shock system allows us to identify any training requirements for our drivers”.
