Samsara Inc. unveiled more than a dozen transformative AI-powered solutions for physical operations.
Fueled by Samsara’s open platform, these first-of-their-kind solutions empower organizations to operate smarter with AI-powered safety tools, a new connected wearable, advanced routing and navigation capabilities, and enhanced maintenance tools.
“We’ve entered the age of intelligence, and AI is helping our customers operate smarter,” says Sanjit Biswas, CEO and co-founder of Samsara. “We’re partnering with our customers to build products that help them run safer, more efficient operations and protect frontline workers while saving millions of dollars.”
Key takeaways:
· AI Multicam: Drivers can now add up to four additional HD cameras, providing a 360-degree view to reduce blindspots, all accessible through an in-cab monitor. In addition, the AI Multicam actively notifies drivers in real-time of hazards, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Whether using a Samsara camera or a third-party device, administrators can retrieve historic video footage and corresponding audio to help quickly resolve incidents.
· Safety Coaching for Lean Teams: A new set of customizable features help administrators with lean safety teams scale driver coaching and recognition with AI and automation. AI analyzes hundreds of risky driving events—considering factors like severity, frequency, road conditions, and total drive time—and automatically sends low-risk behaviors to drivers for self-coaching and escalates higher-risk events to managers.
· Driver App: The Samsara app now includes TikTok-style training videos to boost engagement and end-of-day reviews to help with driver coaching. Designed to act as a companion for drivers throughout the day, the app now offers new gamification features and recognition tools to reinforce positive, safe behavior.
· The new Samsara Wearable offers several benefits, including long-lasting battery life; easy, one-click protection; proactive threat alerts.
· One platform: Samsara connects driver and worker safety in one system, allowing for faster response time and visibility across the entire fleet.
· Route Planning: Building on existing routing capabilities, Samsara now integrates directly with fleet operators’ sales systems to pinpoint the most efficient routes and delivery schedules for customers’ fleets.
· Commercial Navigation: Samsara can now overlay fleet-specific restrictions like weight, height and hazmat directly onto standard digital maps to provide more accurate turn-by-turn directions.
· Asset Maintenance: Streamline repairs and lower costs.
· DVIR: Now, drivers can simplify the vehicle inspection process by automatically converting inspection notes from voice to text. In turn, managers can ensure reports are properly completed by viewing drivers’ walkaround paths, the duration of the inspection and quality of the report photos.
· Fault Code Intelligence and Automated Work Orders: This optimization extends to the back office, where fleet administrators can view the DVIRs in a unified dashboard. Fault code intelligence automatically deciphers the codes and uses AI to create maintenance work orders.
