Increased Visibility and Advanced Cargo Monitoring
Inland’s integration of state-of-the-art technologies such as CargoVision, REAR-VU Backup Camera, and Permalite Lighting will greatly enhance fleet management by increasing visibility and cargo monitoring capabilities. Phillips Connect’s CargoVision provides real-time camera visibility of cargo status and load conditions, ensuring that fleet operators are immediately alerted to any issues that might compromise safety or delivery integrity. The Phillips’ Rear-VU backup camera enhances driver visibility, significantly reducing the risk of accidents during reverse maneuvers, and contributing to safer fleet operations. Phillips’ Permalite Lighting offers extremely durable, energy-efficient illumination, improving visibility, increasing compliance, and keeping the roads safe. The technologies boost operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs and downtime, thereby delivering substantial value to fleet customers.
