Fu Ming Transport shows a new look with the assistance of technology.

        Under the epidemic tsunami, enterprise management is facing unprecedented challenges. However, Fu Ming transport not only finds business opportunities, but also takes advantage of the opportunity to promote the pace of digital transformation, weave a driving safety net with new technology, and accelerate the progress towards sustainability!

        Flexible scheduling performance contrarian growth

        The novel coronavirus pneumonia has been devastated by the global economy. Many enterprises have fallen down. Since May 2021, the epidemic in Taiwan has also suddenly increased. This has brought about drastic changes in the public consumption behavior and business environment. The logistics and warehousing industry has doubled its business volume due to the outbreak of stay at home economy; Fu Ming transport is mainly responsible for the transportation of bulk raw materials, which is also affected to varying degrees. However, a crisis is a turning point. Taking this opportunity, we can adjust the organizational constitution and business operation mode, strengthen competitiveness and win new customers.

                In view of the water situation alarm in Taiwan, Fu Ming transport immediately checked the transportation capacity and business, estimated the possible water transportation needs of customers and the group, gave priority to providing water transportation services without affecting the existing transportation services, and took over the water transportation tasks of several high-tech electronic plants through flexible scheduling, equipment utilization and safe transportation, Revenue and profit in the second quarter bucked the trend over the same period last year.

        Smart car guard driving safety

        In addition to punctuality (timeliness) and quality (quality) of transportation services, safety is more important. In the spirit of continuous R & D, innovation and improvement, Fu Ming transport applied new technologies and measures to fleet safety management, and not only passed the verification of "ISO 45001 occupational safety and health management system" in October 2020; In December 2020, it was also affirmed by the General Administration of highways and invited to share the achievements of safety management, so as to set a benchmark for the safety management of the freight industry; In April 2021, he was invited by the Republic of China chemical industry Responsible Care Association (TRCA) to talk about the management experience of transportation safety risk assessment in the seminar.

        For fleet management, Fu Ming transport not only cooperates with government policies to replace phase III environmental protection vehicles, but also comprehensively purchases vehicles that comply with the latest phase VI environmental protection regulations from 2020. Through exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) and urea catalyst reduction system (SCR), it can reduce carbon emission and noise pollution, save 5 ~ 10% oil and reduce more than 90% carbon emission.

        On the other hand, according to past experience and research, "human" factors account for more than 90% of all accidents, and the introduction of intelligent system can reduce the driving crisis caused by unsafe actions. Thanks to the rapid development of AI and Internet of things (IOT) in recent years, Fu Ming transport not only installed GPS, DVR and Mobileye on Phase V vehicles, but also listed AI as standard equipment when purchasing phase VI vehicles, and imported six advanced driver assistance systems,   ADAS), including "ACC active gap control cruise system", which can automatically reduce the speed to maintain a safe gap when a vehicle in front drives in or decelerates in front; "FCW front collision warning system" that can remind the driver's attention with warning tone and instrument panel diagram when collision risk is found; AEBS emergency brake assist system, which can pre pressurize the brake system to help shorten the braking distance and even automatically start the brake to avoid collision accidents; "LDWS lane departure warning system" that will make a warning sound to remind the driver to return to the lane when the vehicle is detected to deviate from the lane; VSC vehicle stability control system, which can calculate whether the vehicle has overturning risk by steering angle, vehicle weight and vehicle speed, and then control the engine and braking force; When the average tire pressure is lower than 5% of the computer set value or changes by more than 20%, the instrument panel will issue a warning "TPMS tire pressure detection and warning system".

        As the main model of Fu Ming transport fleet is semi / full coupling vehicle, the body is high and long, so it is inevitable that there are many dead corners of sight, and it is not easy to see the rear situation. Therefore, in addition to the left-right turning and reversing buzzer, the company has more comprehensively installed reversing cameras on the tank car since 2021, with a maximum of 8 lenses per vehicle, Maximize visual field assistance. In order to further prevent sight dead angle and internal wheel error accidents, Fu Ming transport also tested and introduced two detection technologies, "millimeter wave radar" and "optical image recognition". The former can transmit millimeter wave waves through the antenna and receive signals reflected by obstacles to calculate the relative speed, distance and angle with the target, which are not affected by weather and night environment; The latter uses the camera to identify the position of surrounding objects and the relative motion between the object and the vehicle. Both technologies can provide timely warning before the object approaches the vehicle.

        People oriented and stable enterprise physique

        Although equipped with a powerful intelligent system, it is people who really master the steering wheel. In order to ensure that the driver's physical condition is safe, Fu Ming transport specially introduces the finger vein identification system with the cloud detection process. Once abnormal indexes such as alcohol concentration and blood pressure are found, the system will immediately notify the management personnel. At the same time, in order to avoid driving fatigue affecting driving safety, Fu Ming transport also tested and introduced the "DMS fatigue monitoring status", which uses the camera to obtain the driver's image, and detects the driving behavior and physical state through visual tracking, action recognition and other technologies. When the driver is tired (he closes his eyes for many times within a specific time In case of long-term eye closure), distraction, phone call, smoking and other dangerous situations, immediately issue warnings and upload them to the cloud synchronously, so as to facilitate the company's remote management and improve the safety of the team.

                Not only make good use of technology, Fu Ming transport also assigns observers to perform BSV behavioral safety visit during driver loading, driving and unloading, and reach a safety consensus with drivers through communication and discussion.

        In addition to improving management, the management team is well aware that there is a serious shortage of drivers in Taiwan's labor market. In order to retain good talents, we must continue to improve working conditions and workplace environment for employees from the perspective of care, maintain workplace safety and promote employees' physical and mental health. With healthy drivers, we can improve driving safety and further ensure the public safety of the public. Therefore, Fu Ming transport has signed a contract with a special hospital to regularly invite doctors and nurses to the company to provide services such as employee health management, medical consultation, health assessment, physical examination abnormality tracking, medical referral suggestions, occupational disease prevention and work environment assessment, and plan health lectures, establish road running club and Softball club to promote employee health.

        In addition, Fu Ming transport also provides full training cost subsidies to encourage large truck drivers to use holidays to learn to connect vehicles, so as to cultivate second expertise. This will not only help the company to flexibly schedule transportation tasks, but also improve the driver's salary, improve employee satisfaction, naturally reduce personnel turnover, and create a more stable enterprise physique.

        After the covid-19 epidemic, stay at home economy broke out, zero contact life was in power, and the concept and practice of global supply chain also changed greatly. If enterprises want to win, they must deploy in advance. On the one hand, Fu Ming transport strengthens the application of AI and Internet of things (IOT), on the other hand, it also improves its competitiveness with one-stop services. At the same time, it actively arranges the transportation and warehousing business. At present, it is carrying out the acquisition and construction of warehousing land in Taichung City port and Taipei Port. In the future, we will lead a more intelligent fleet to meet the new era of logistics with more safe and reliable services.
