A process for implementing a materials handling vehicle feature monitor includes receiving wirelessly, from a fleet of materials handling vehicles, electronic vehicle records. Each electronic vehicle record comprises travel-related data recorded by an associated materials handling vehicle and an operator identification of the corresponding operator of the vehicle. The vehicle records are parsed for each operator to extract dashboard data, which can include a travel distance that the materials handling vehicle has traveled. An expected travel distance under remote control to total travel distance for the predetermined period of time is established. For each operator, an electronic measurement of the expected travel distance under remote control to total travel distance for the predetermined period of time compared to the recorded travel distance under remote control to total travel distance for the predetermined period of time is generated. A graphical representation of the generated measurements is outputted to a dashboard.

Materials handling vehicle technology monitor

A materials handling vehicle technology monitor receives wirelessly, from a fleet of materials handling vehicles, electronic vehicle records. Each electronic vehicle record includes technology feature data recorded by a controller on an associated materials handling vehicle. Typically, the electronic vehicle record is generated in response to a corresponding technology feature on the materials handling vehicle being operated in a work environment. Moreover, each electronic vehicle record includes an operator identification of an operator of the materials handling vehicle at the time the technology feature data is recorded. The monitor also generates for each operator, an electronic measurement based upon a comparison of expected technology feature usage, e.g., a threshold, compared to the technology feature data in the received electronic vehicle records, which are associated with the corresponding operator. The process further comprises outputting to a dashboard, a graphical representation of the generated measurements.
