Dialog Enterprise’s Smart Fleet helps demining operations
View(s):Dialog Enterprise, the corporate ICT solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, has tied up with Mines Advisory Group Sri Lanka (MAG) to equip purpose-built vehicles with its innovative Smart Fleet real-time GPS driven vehicle tracking system. This marks a leap forward in terms of assisting the ongoing demining operations in the northern and eastern provinces covering, Vavuniya, Mannar, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Batticaloa and Trincomalee.
MAG has been working in Sri Lanka since 2002, locating and removing landmines, unexploded ordnance and other remnants of war systematically. With the support of international donors and the Sri Lankan army, MAG has released over 52.5 square km of land, cleared over 63,714 mines and removed over 28,187 unexploded ordnances, Dialog said in a media release.
In order to carry out this large-scale operation consisting of over 900 staff, MAG relies on a fleet of heavy vehicles which include excavators, lorries, double cabs and bowsers to ensure an effective and smooth operation. Approximately 95 per cent of MAG vehicles have been fitted with the Smart Fleet solution which provides precise data on vehicle movement, location, unauthorised usage, security and fuel consumption.
Kevin Klerx – Head of Support Services of MAG Sri Lanka, said: “Thanks to this innovative solution provided by Dialog Enterprise, we are able to track all of our vehicles in the field with the GPS tracking system. Besides that, we also have fuel sensors installed in most of our vehicles.”
We require approximately 40,000 litres of diesel per month to carry out our operational tasks, hence it is vital for us to understand the fuel consumption, in order to make comparisons with previous data to derive analytical calculations of the fuel consumption and cost. With the ongoing fuel crisis in the country, this technology enables us to establish a proper infrastructure and effectively manage our fleet.”
Speaking on the versatility of the solution, Navin Pieris, Group Chief Officer – Dialog Enterprise, Dialog Axiata PLC says, “Our fuel sensors will ensure that fleet operators have an accurate understanding of fuel levels and consumption rates. Additional options such as temperature sensors would be ideal for those who transport fresh produce. The ability to mount up to eight cameras per vehicle is an advantage for those who transport precious cargo. This really is a highly adaptive solution for anyone who needs to manage their vehicles.”
