IntelliStick and RASTRAC enter into five-year agreement for jointly bundled engine performance monitoring devices
IntelliStick®has
been chosen by Manning NavComp, Inc. to provide oil
condition data for its RASTRAC® product line, a leading GPS fleet tracking and remote
asset management solution that has been used on more
than 5,000 systems and nearly 300,000 vehicles and assets worldwide. Today the two companies announced a
five-year agreement to offer a bundled package with engine performance
monitoring devices from both companies that will be jointly marketed and
available for purchase from either company.
RASTRAC is
designed to be flexible and scalable, making it an ideal vehicle tracking
solution for fleets of all sizes. From small delivery companies with just a few
vehicles to large multi-national operations dispatching thousands of vehicles, RASTRAC’s flexibility
makes it a logical choice for fleets of any size operating virtually anywhere
in the world.
The IntelliStick system—which continuously scans engine oil for water, coolant
or fuel intrusions and monitors oil oxidation, level and temperature—has been configured to transmit data via the RASTRAC engine performance
monitoring system. RASTRAC then provides alerts to maintenance
personnel, allowing them to take preventive steps to reduce engine damage and
costly breakdowns. Customers who install an IntelliStick with an existing,
compatible RASTRAC system or purchase the new
bundled package will receive real-time reports on oil condition and engine
performance for vehicle fleets of all sizes, as well as for engines used in
industrial applications. The data is transmitted via radio, satellite,
cellular, or GPRS to laptops, smartphones and other devices that can be located
remotely.
“We are pleased to be
partnering with RASTRAC, as it allows us to provide the tools and resources fleet
owners need to maximize engine performance and fuel economy, while minimizing
the need for costly repairs and unproductive down time,” said Fred Rogers,
president of IntelliStick.
"Our
customers demand systems that are powerful and easy to use," stated Jeff
Manning, president of Manning NavComp, Inc. "Our goal with RASTRAC has always been to
provide the best solutions possible. With IntelliStick, we can now provide our
customers with oil condition data in a fashion not previously available, which
helps us service our customers even better than ever before."
