How a Seasoned Digital Mobility Provider cut down on Operational and Maintenance Costs

Overview

An established digital mobility service provider wanted to utilize predictive maintenance and continuous SOH monitoring to reduce unexpected breakdowns and downtime. Datakrew introduced an advanced AI/ML integrated solution to forecast potential issues to enable timely intervention.
 

Client Profile

Our client is a leading digital mobility solutions and services provider with almost 40 years of industry experience. They operate and maintain a wide and diverse fleet, and connect customers, drivers, and vehicles to deliver technology-enabled solutions that are safe, reliable, inclusive, and sustainable.
 

Problem

Our client’s pre-existing battery management system lacked the sophistication to accurately predict the State of Health of the batteries. This resulted in sub-optimal battery performance and frequent replacements, affecting the overall efficiency of their fleet. Additionally, the customer faced challenges in understanding how different usage patterns impacted the State of Health of their vehicle batteries.
The absence of predictive maintenance capabilities meant that the customer often dealt with unexpected vehicle downtimes and maintenance issues, which led to higher operational costs and reduced fleet availability.
