DigiCore has secured a three year agreement to provide In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) and associated support, reporting and management services for BHP Billiton's global operations. DigiCore, which has operations in 31 countries, will supply its C-track IVMS and associated equipment and services to BHP Billiton's operations on a global basis.
(PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- DigiCore has secured a three year agreement to provide In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) and associated support, reporting and management services for BHP Billiton's global operations.
DigiCore, which has operations in 31 countries, will supply its C-track IVMS and associated equipment and services to BHP Billiton's operations on a global basis.
DigiCore's C-track offers IVMS services that include the ability to control vehicle access, monitor driver behaviour, create fleet management reports and actively warn the driver of any behavioural breech.
Pre-determined areas can also be set for each vehicle operation per driver and 'Geo-Fencing' technology is used to provide easy-to-use information at site level.
The C-track GPS/GPRS system records detailed accident reconstruction data. It also enables the manager to activate or disable certain features in the vehicle, like speed governors, vehicle headlamps, revolving or flashing lights as they enter pre-determined localities. If a vehicle is involved in any incident, the system provides a user-friendly report on all aspects being monitored by the IVMS.
"The selection as BHP Billiton's IVMS supplier is really a feather in our cap particularly after the grueling selection process. We are looking forward to working with BHP Billiton to ensure they achieve their increased driver safety standards throughout the world and as a bonus reduce the fleet's running costs," says DigiCore's CEO Nick Vlok.
"As a South African company we are proud to be delivering world class solutions to a global giant like BHP Billiton," says Bruce Richards, Managing Director DigiCore International
