Increased efficiency can have a catalogue of benefits for fleets. For instance, cleanliness can dramatically decrease maintenance requirements while potentially extending the life of vehicles. Equally, a gleaming fleet can equate to glowing PR, so it’s often worth the investment. However, it’s important to invest in the right automatic truck washing machine. Here’s why automation might be the answer.
Automated washing systems are the latest ‘must-have’ for commercial vehicle fleets. There are multiple reasons for this, but one of the most instantly recognisable is that automation doesn’t require a skilled operator. As automatic vehicle washing machines do all the hard work for you, this equates to accumulated financial savings while dramatically reducing the expensive risk of human error. As such, automation is no-nonsense, optimised, uncomplaining, and represents the hallmark of efficiency and productivity.
Automation has more to offer than simply getting the job done. For instance, at Britannia Wash Systems, we incorporate advanced analytical capabilities into our machinery to achieve optimised efficiency. AI enables the wash system to learn exactly how much detergent and water are ideal for your unique requirements, enabling the equipment to be customised accordingly. As such, you benefit from maximum time and energy efficiency, as well as reduced waste. As a bonus, AI will use predictive maintenance to troubleshoot problems before they become a costly downtime issue, resulting in a highly optimised solution.
Many companies continue with the outdated manual washing method. This time-consuming approach introduces a spectrum of inefficiencies. The labour involved is just the tip of the inefficiency iceberg, which incorporates challenges such as excessive water and energy wastage, and potential damage to the vehicle. This can be one of the most expensive lorry wash errors to correct, especially if critical parts are accidentally jet blasted. Contrastively, if areas are missed during a manual wash, legislative penalties could follow. All of these issues can be avoided with high-quality, trustworthy automation.
High-quality printed curtain sides are a major investment and a significant mouthpiece for your brand. Incorporated into the design is the philosophy, vision, and identity, which collectively forms part of your immersive brand experience. If the sides are splattered in mud, grime, and general detritus from the road, you are at risk of sending the wrong message. With automated washing, you are guaranteed to send a message that shines, reflecting a company that cares about both its image and its clients.
In every industry, minutes are money. If your lorries are parked up to be manually washed, it means that they are not out generating income. As such, they become assets that quite literally gather dust. Ideally, your fleet should be in constant motion, generating its ROI while promoting your organisation. This is efficiency in motion, and it applies at multiple levels. When you can wash your trucks to the highest quality in a matter of minutes, there is no need for downtime, enabling you to streamline your operations.
