Ikoteks: Mercury

Mercury tachographs are one of the devices which are most demanded in Russia for control of observance of a work-rest schedule of drivers. This equipment is included into the list of the devices recommended to FBU "Rosavtotrans" and used in the companies which are obliged to install tachographs on the transport according to Orders No. 273 and No. 36 of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. The Incotex company releasing Mercury tachographs pursues open policy and is ready to be integrated with the systems of satellite monitoring of transport. Therefore integration with SCOUT who is one of the leading systems in the market became a natural step.

2016: A system SCOUT is integrated with the Mercury tachograph

As a result of integration owners of vehicle fleets can automatically unload data from cards of drivers and analyze them in transport monitoring system SCOUT. Thus the companies obliged to equip the transport with tachographs receive the additional tool for observance of requirements of the legislation. Integration became possible thanks to the fact that the producer of Mercury tachographs, the Incotex company, supported the ScoutNet protocol in the devices.

Interaction "Mercury" and SCOUT allocates owners of transport with new advantages both in respect of use of tachographs, and in the work plan with the system of satellite monitoring. In the first case they have an opportunity most conveniently and quickly to fulfill the requirements of the legislation. The integrated devices allow to unload automatically data from cards of drivers, to build group and individual reports about violations of work-rest schedules. In a System SCOUT it is possible to address information on work of drivers, for example, in cases of checks from labor inspectorate at any moment. Also users can diagnose operability of tachographs far off. All this occurs in one software and does not require additional software. In terms of advantage for monitoring of transport undoubted plus of integration is an opportunity to identify drivers according to the card of the tachograph. Thereby personalisation of information at all levels of control is reached: continuous data, reports, notifications, etc. Thanks to it managers do not need to spend time, finding out who when and on what transport worked.

Integration of a monitoring system of transport and tachographs is a separate area of work of SCOUT group.

Use of tachographs and a System the SCOUT within a uniform complex helps to observe competently the law, to pay back initial costs quicker and in general to cut down expenses on vehicle fleet. Having wide experience of cooperation with producers of tachographs, we quickly enough made integration about Incotex. And now our system is fully integrated already with three leading brands of digital tachographs. Need of owners of transport for this equipment and additional solutions is especially relevant now because vehicles on which analog control instruments are installed should be equipped with digital tachographs till July 1, 2016 Product manager "Integration into tachographs" Isaev Dmitry., SCOUT Group
