Nationwide service support for Didbox
The Didbox low-cost high-value device for operator access control and data recording now has the support of a nationwide service arrangement through Actiserve (UK).
Data recorder boosts safety
New safety features and an optional collision monitoring device are at the heart of a redesign for the Didbox data recording and driver access system.
With legislation and case law ever more a feature of the production manager or fleet operator's time and resources, managers need to have the necessary data and peace of mind without complex IT requirements and retraining issues.
Didbox has been designed to meet the need for low-cost, unsophisticated yet reliable driver access control and recording devices for operational vehicles and machines.
It is effective in preventing nonapproved operators or drivers from accessing plant and equipment and records data vital to the safe and effective operation of fleets and groups of machines.
The Didbox unit is constructed to the highest standards of electronic build using rugged and maintenance-free components for long life and virtually zero downtime.
It is designed to be unobtrusive yet effective as a deterrent for unwanted access.
Approved drivers carry an electronic "key" which activates the machinery or vehicle fitted and records usage data necessary for the fleet or machine shop operator.
Research has shown that current, competitive devices are too complicated and sophisticated for the needs of most operators.
As well as offering uncluttered, essential data, Didbox has been designed to use standard office-based software for downloads and analysis, taking away the need for discrete software and the need for additional staff training and expensive upgrades.
Low initial cost, simple installation, use of standard applications and low maintenance requirements make Didbox the ideal choice, particularly with its simple and reliable nature.
Typical paybacks from retrofitting Didbox to a fork lift truck, for example, range from 4 days to 3 months, with reduced damage and downtime, increased productivity and potential savings on insurance premiums.
Didbox is available exclusively from Actiserve.
