The Cost Savings & Operational Benefits of Standardizing a Fleet on an Aarcomm Remote

In the world of industrial operations, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are not just goals—they are necessities for staying competitive and successful. For fleet owners and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) managing extensive arrays of machinery such as hydrovac trucks or concrete pumps, the challenge of maintaining operational efficiency while minimizing costs is paramount. Aarcomm's innovative remote control technology offers a groundbreaking solution: the ability to standardize an entire fleet's remote control needs onto a single, versatile device.

Unprecedented Standardization

Aarcomm's advanced remote controls are uniquely designed with the capability to have machine type specifications coded into the firmware. This incredible feature allows a single remote to pair with multiple different types of machines. The benefit here is twofold: it drastically reduces the need for multiple, different remotes and it simplifies operations across various types of machinery.

Inventory Simplification

One of the most immediate benefits of adopting Aarcomm’s technology is the significant reduction in inventory requirements. Fleet owners no longer need to keep a large stock of spare remotes for each type of vehicle in their fleet. This not only cuts down on inventory costs but also reduces the logistical hassle of managing and storing multiple remote types.

In addition to the remotes, there’s also the batteries and their chargers to consider.  Aarcomm remotes come with a built-in battery that lasts 10+ years and a universal charging cradle that can charge any of Aarcomm’s remotes (and your cell phone)! This also reduces inventory and greatly simplifies operations.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency

With Aarcomm remotes, operators work off a standardized interface, regardless of the brand of machinery they are controlling. This uniformity significantly decreases the likelihood of operator error and the training time required when switching between different brands or generations of machinery. Operators become more efficient and confident, which in turn, enhances overall productivity and safety on the job site.

Forward and Backward Compatibility

Since all machine control specifications are programmed into the firmware—which is continually updated—Aarcomm remotes can operate both newer and older generations of machinery. This feature is invaluable for fleet owners and OEMs who need to manage diverse equipment ages and types without compromising on control and efficiency.

Competitive Edge

The ability to standardize remote controls is a feature that many competing remote control companies do not offer. For large fleets, which can sometimes number up to 1,000 vehicles, or for OEMs looking to simplify the remote control technology offered on their equipment, the impact of Aarcomm's solution is significant. It offers a competitive edge by enhancing operational capabilities while reducing costs.
