Earlier this year, a group of industry experts warned that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could, one day, lead to the extinction of the human race, a prediction that was received with a mixture of scepticism and alarm across the world. What is certain, however, is that AI is rapidly impacting contemporary culture and software technology in ways that only seemed possible within the covers of science fiction novels less than a year ago, and it will continue to change the way the world operates in the immediate future.
Many people working in business and industry are rightly concerned – and excited – about the impact that Artificial Intelligence will have on the world. However, when it comes to commercial vehicle wash systems, two other exciting developments – robotics and software automation – are already improving efficiency and delivering better quality results for less money, even before AI makes its imprint on the industry.
In this article, we’ll explore how automated bus, train, and truck wash systems are benefiting from advances in technology, making them the smart solution your business needs to keep its fleet on the road or track.
Enhancing Efficiency Through Analytics
Efficiency is key in commercial vehicle washing, not only to minimise costs and time, but to support sustainable behaviour in an increasingly fragile environment. With powerful analytical capabilities, modern commercial vehicle wash systems optimise wash cycles, water usage, and detergent deployment, ensuring that each vehicle is cleaned to the highest standards in the quickest and most cost-efficient way possible. By learning from patterns and adjusting parameters, tech-enabled wash systems ensure that each wash is conducted with maximum efficiency, saving resources and time.
Preventing Unplanned Downtime
When you rely on your commercial washing system to keep your fleet of vehicles in optimum condition, unplanned downtime is frustrating and disruptive. Furthermore, unexpected repairs can be a nightmare, as entire wash systems can be taken out of service for days or weeks at a time while new parts are on order. By harnessing the latest predictive maintenance technology, which analyses data and detects subtle signs of wear and tear, commercial wash systems are taken out of service in a timelier manner to facilitate minor repairs that could, if left unchecked, become serious problems.
Improving Outcomes Through Constant Monitoring
Real-time monitoring keeps a vigilant eye on the commercial vehicle washing process, identifying anything that deviates from the norm, no matter how minor. In the event that an issue is detected, staff will be automatically alerted so that swift and proportionate action can be taken to reduce waste and uphold the quality of the wash.
At The Forefront Of Technology
At Britannia Wash Systems, we’ve already adopted the latest tech into our automated wash systems for trucks, buses, and trains, giving our customers quicker, more cost-effective access to the tools they need to keep their fleets in prime condition.
