Digitisation is changing the world of logistics. With growing volumes of data and networking in the industry, logistical processes are becoming increasingly complex. Forklift trucks can sometimes even act autonomously and communicate thanks to an array of sensors—the fleet is becoming intelligent. Fleet managers control processes in real time and achieve significant rates of increase in movement of goods.
With the connect: fleet management system, Linde provides precisely the information the fleet operators need for efficient deployment of their forklift trucks, regardless of location and fleet size, whether new or existing forklift trucks or other manufacturers’ products. Get to know the connect: world of products and teach your forklift trucks to speak.
connect: The path to an intelligent fleet
