WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., 2012-03-22 14:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for
tracking, securing and managing high-value enterprise assets, today announced
it has received purchase orders from Toyota Engineering & Manufacturing North
America, Inc. (TEMA) to deploy its PowerFleet wireless Vehicle Management
System (VMS) on fleets of material handling equipment at two Toyota plants in
the U.S. One facility is upgrading a fleet of approximately 500 industrial
trucks, originally equipped with an I.D. Systems VMS in 2002. The second site
will be deploying a VMS for the first time.
TEMA is responsible for all of Toyota's (NYSE:TM) engineering, development and
manufacturing activities in North America. TEMA coordinates 13 Toyota
production facilities, including the two sites deploying the PowerFleet system.
For more information on Toyota, please visit www.toyota.com
I.D. Systems' PowerFleet wireless VMS is designed to enhance the safety,
security, maintenance, and utilization of industrial equipment. The system
improves safety and security by restricting vehicle access to trained,
authorized operators and providing electronic safety checklists. It helps
reduce maintenance costs by automatically uploading vehicle data, reporting
checklist problems in real time, basing maintenance schedules on actual vehicle
usage rather than calendar time, and helping determine the optimal economic
time to replace equipment. In addition, the system can help improve equipment
utilization and reduce the total cost of fleet ownership by ensuring equipment
is in the proper place at the right time and streamlining work flow.
'We are very pleased that Toyota, which many consider the gold standard of
manufacturing innovation and efficiency, will continue to utilize and benefit
from our wireless vehicle management systems,' said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems
chairman and CEO. 'Our wireless technology has been deployed by one Toyota
plant continuously for almost a decade--a testament to the quality and
sustainability of our solutions--and we look forward to expanding our brand of
best-practice industrial fleet management to other Toyota facilities.'
