OMNIA heads to the Far East: First Installation in the Philippines

Swarco is pleased to share the successful implementation of a new traffic management system based on Swarco's OMNIA platform for the city of General Santos, located in the southern part of the Philippine Island of Mindanao. General Santos is a rapidly growing city, known for its vibrant economy and as an important commercial and industrial hub in the region.

Why General Santos?
In recent years, General Santos has seen significant demographic growth, with a consequent increase in urban traffic and ever more frequent traffic congestion. The need to improve traffic flow management and ensure greater road safety has made it a priority to work on 33 key intersections. These intersections were selected because of their strategic importance for the city's road system, covering the points of greatest influx and ensuring an immediate impact on traffic flow.

What the Project Includes
For General Santos, the OMNIA system includes a permanent software license for the management of 33 traffic lights and an intuitive, multilingual interface for traffic operators. The system makes it possible to monitor the traffic situation through interactive maps and detailed reports, schedule traffic lights according to time slots, and apply adaptive strategies for real-time traffic regulation. In addition, OMNIA can exchange data with other city systems, acting as a system integrator and providing the city with all the systems already installed, in order to have all the necessary data in one system. This technological integration considerably improves the functionality and efficiency of the SWARCO system outputs, providing a quality service at reduced costs. This integration is exploited by the Strategy Manager, which allows the selection of traffic light plans dynamically based on traffic and the real-time management of the contents of variable message signs (VMS), thereby optimizing the traffic flow.

A First Step Towards a City of the Future
This project represents the first step towards a complete transformation of urban mobility in General Santos. Our goal is to further expand the system, including new areas of the city and integrating advanced technologies to make General Santos a model of a modern and technologically advanced city. With OMNIA, we are building the foundations for a safer, more efficient and sustainable city, improving the quality of life of citizens and helping to make General Santos one of the most beautiful and functional cities in the region.

Forecasting to save: how asset manager cuts mainenance costs

The maintenance of transportation vehicles represents one of the main cost factors for companies in the sector. Every unexpected breakdown leads to high expenses, operational delays, and a negative impact on service quality. This is why predictive maintenance is becoming a strategic element for optimizing the management of fleets. By leveraging smart data usage, Pluservice has developed Asset Manager, an innovative solution that helps prevent failures, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency.

THE INNOVATION OF PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
Unlike preventive maintenance, which follows scheduled deadlines, predictive maintenance uses sensors and algorithms to monitor vehicle health in real time. Thanks to this technology, anomalies can be detected before they turn into failures, enabling timely and targeted interventions. This approach reduces the number of emergency repairs, prevents costly vehicle downtimes, and optimizes resource utilization.

REAL-TIME INFORMATION FOR SMART DECISIONS
Asset Manager continuously collects and analyzes data from vehicles, integrating information from onboard sensors and workshop reports. Key monitored parameters include engine oil quality, the temperature of critical components, and the condition of brakes and tires. With the support of artificial intelligence tools, the platform can predict a component’s lifecycle and suggest the optimal intervention, preventing premature replacements or unexpected breakdowns.

BENEFITS FOR TRANSPORT COMPANIES
The adoption of predictive maintenance provides immediate and measurable advantages, such as:
• Reduced operating costs, eliminating unnecessary interventions and minimizing downtime;
• Increased fleet reliability and safety, thanks to constant vehicle condition monitoring;
Resource optimization, with better maintenance scheduling and reduced waste;
• Lower environmental impact, through efficient management of consumable materials and more responsible vehicle usage.

DATA AND ANALYSIS FOR STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
One of the most innovative aspects of Asset Manager is its ability to provide detailed reports, allowing fleet managers to make data-driven decisions. The platform offers intuitive dashboards displaying vehicle status, anomaly reports, and maintenance forecasts, transforming maintenance from an unexpected expense into a planned investment.

A NECESSARY SHIFT FOR THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT
In the mobility sector, efficiency and sustainability are becoming increasingly crucial. Implementing a predictive maintenance system means reducing waste, increasing safety, and ensuring service continuity. With Asset Manager, Pluservice provides transport companies with a concrete solution to tackle future challenges, maximizing fleet performance and optimizing every aspect of maintenance management.
Predicting failures is no longer an option—it’s a necessity.

BPA Italia (Lactalis) relies on Geotab technology to optimize its fleet and reduce maintenance costs
Geotab lnc.– a global leader in connected vehicle solutions and TTS Italia ordinary member, has supported BPA Italia, a vehicle rental company that is part of the Lactalis Group, the largest dairy group in the world, in its journey to adopt telematics, with the aim of optimizing the management of the company fleet and addressing the challenges related to maintenance costs, driver safety and the protection of company assets. Lactalis and BPA chose to implement Geotab's fleet management solution through one of its authorized partners: this allowed them to obtain a complete overview of the data and analytical insights on their fleet, relating to location, consumption, emissions, mileage and health status of each vehicle.
With approximately 2,700 vehicles, including refrigerated vans for the delivery of fresh products, the companies of the Group Lactalis, such as Galbani, Parmalat and Leerdammer, rely on BPA Italia for the management of corporate mobility. The coordination and maintenance of such a large and complex fleet of vehicles is therefore a challenge that pushes the company to constantly seek cutting-edge solutions. Lactalis Group chose to adopt telematics mainly for needs related to preventive maintenance, vehicle geolocalization, and optimization of fleet management. In addition, the company aimed to improve driver safety, prevent theft and increase the efficiency and sustainability of the logistics network. To respond to these challenges, BPA Italia chose Geotab technology, appreciating its level of completeness, flexibility and advanced analysis, in addition to the consulting capacity and support in the implementation of the project guaranteed by its authorized partner. "Our main objective was related to preventive maintenance: consequently, everything that could make the fleet's activities more efficient, safe and better planned, while obtaining savings on maintenance costs", explains Matteo Viani, Managing Director of BPA Italia. “We focused on the Geotab solution because it allowed us to achieve all of these goals.”
Thanks to the installation of GO9 devices on fleet vehicles, the Lactalis Group can now leverage telematics data and analyze it in the MyGeotab management platform, which provides the company with the tools to make comparisons, generate customized reports (including those related to consumption, CO2 emissions and mileage) and manage all operational aspects in an efficient and more sustainable way. MyGeotab is able to enable predictive maintenance, to anticipate potential problems or anomalies before they turn into costly failures. The company can thus use data-driven analytical insights to schedule targeted maintenance interventions, optimizing downtime and reducing repair costs. The adoption of Geotab has led to concrete and measurable results for both Lactalis Italia and BPA Italia, in particular in terms of:
cost reduction. Thanks to predictive maintenance and constant monitoring of vehicles, in the first 9 months of 2024 the company recorded a 7% saving on maintenance costs compared to the previous year, in which it did not use any telematics solution.
greater safety and protection of assets. Geotab has also contributed to improving driver safety and protecting company vehicles. Through geolocation, two stolen vehicles in Milan and Naples were recovered, for a value of over 70 thousand euros, to be added to that of the transported goods.
return on investment. The experience of Lactalis and BPA Italia confirms that investing in a telematics solution like the one offered by Geotab can generate a significant return. "I would absolutely recommend adopting telematics, because in the face of an expense that is not even too excessive, the return on investment is largely guaranteed", says Viani. Building on the results achieved thanks to Geotab, BPA Italia intends to continue investing in telematics and increase the use of data to make decisions on fleet management. “As far as we are concerned, today it would be difficult to do without telematics. I can certainly confirm that we will continue on the path undertaken so far and that we will continue to invest in this direction,” he concludes. “We are very proud to accompany the Lactalis Group in achieving the objectives to increase the safety, efficiency and sustainability of its fleet. The opportunities offered by telematics are potentially endless, and our job is precisely to help companies make the most of them,” says Fabio Maio, Sales Manager of Geotab Italia.

Circle Group alongside C.I.S.Co. to present the BoxEu project: a new era for container management through the BoxTech platform
Circle S.p.A. (‘CIRCLE’ or the ‘Company’) - Innovative SME listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market, at the head of the Group of the same name specialising in process analysis and in the development of solutions for the innovation and digitalisation of the port and intermodal logistics sectors, as well as in international consultancy on Green Deal and energy transition issues, and TTS Italia ordinary member- announces, in collaboration with C. I.S.Co. (Centro Internazionale Studi Containers) and with the patronage of Bureau International des Containers BIC (of which C.I.S.Co. is the National Registration Organisation in Italy), the launch of an innovative project promoting the adoption of the BoxTech platform in Italy: an initiative aimed at digitalising and centralising the management of container data, for a more efficient, secure and transparent logistics.
BoxTech is a free and neutral platform developed by BIC, which enables container owners to upload the technical details of their devices. Through this platform, mandatory data such as tare weight, gross maximum weight (GVW) and other essential information is easily accessible not only by the owners, but also by all supply chain actors such as shippers, customs, terminals and hauliers. BoxTech is therefore a global, centralised repository that helps improve communication and operational efficiency.
The platform, compliant with the 4S standard, safety, security, sustainability, thus offers a single source of fast and reliable access to all container-related information, reducing the time and effort required to search for data on multiple disparate sources. In addition, BoxTech facilitates compliance with VGM (Verified Gross Mass) declaration requirements, simplifying the management of information required for transport security. The API technology also enables both the automatic loading of container fleets and the consultation of data in real time, ensuring a continuous and up-to-date flow of information. Another important aspect is the ability to easily report if a container has been sold, stolen or lost, transferring responsibility for any damage or wrongdoing to the new owners or responsible operators.
In this way, BoxTech not only increases operational efficiency, but also helps to improve security and transparency in container management, making the platform an indispensable tool for all actors involved in logistics. The BoxEu project marks an important step in the introduction and adoption of the BoxTech platform on a national level by undertaking a ‘bottom-up’ deployment operation, directly involving the contact persons of the companies managing container fleets.
With the BoxEu project, Circle Group and C.I.S.Co. intend to accelerate the digitalisation of the logistics sector, increasing reliability and transparency in the management of container data. BoxTech is a key solution to support all actors involved in the container handling process, from container registration to fleet management.
‘Our collaboration with BIC and C.I.S.Co. through the BoxEu project,’ said Luca Abatello, CEO of Circle Group, ’aims not only to promote an innovative platform, but also to establish a new standard of efficiency and security in container management. We are proud to be part of this initiative that marks a fundamental step towards the digitisation and simplification of the logistics sector, as per the Connect 4 Agile Growth industrial plan'.
The pilot project, which started in Italy, will be presented at Let Expo, the sustainable transport and logistics fair that will take place from 11 to 14 March in Verona, at the Assiterminal stand (Stand A2 Hall 3), where a presentation of the project is scheduled for Thursday 13 March at 11.30 am.
Circle Group will also be in Hall E4 - Stand 4, hosted by the SIMA (Zucchetti Group) and ACCUDIRE stand, to present innovative solutions for document dematerialisation, interoperability with logistics nodes and digitalisation of information flows in the operating systems of the main players involved. It will be a unique opportunity to discover concrete projects aimed at optimising booking processes at the gates, with a significant reduction in waiting times and an improvement in operational efficiency. Solutions for automating the management of pre-arrival messages, automatically updating cargo and container tracking data at the terminals, and eliminating errors associated with manual data entry will also be presented. Thanks to these innovations, traffic flow management is smoother, significantly reducing waiting times for hauliers and optimising the entire export and import cycle of goods.

Hertz Italia chooses the “Smart Vehicle Protector” service to prevent theft and preserve the value of the fleet
The Italian branch of Hertz, the largest car rental company in the world, has chosen to adopt the Smart Vehicle Protector solution from Targa Telematics, one of the main global players in the field of IoT and the development of digital solutions and platforms for connected mobility and TTS Italia founding member, to preserve the value of its fleet. The introduction of the service has allowed Hertz Italia to significantly reduce the damage caused by theft and misappropriation, preserving the value of individual vehicles in the fleet: in particular, the company has calculated that the implementation of the new Targa Telematics service has allowed it to obtain a stolen vehicle recovery rate of up to 95%. “We are extremely satisfied with the collaboration with Targa Telematics, which is celebrating ten years this year. The data speaks for itself, the services that Targa Telematics makes available to us are cutting-edge, based on the latest technologies and are absolutely targeted. For companies like ours with large fleets, it is vital to protect assets from risks and in these ten years of collaboration we have learned a lot from each other” – said Massimo Scantamburlo, CEO and General Manager of Hertz Italia. Smart Vehicle Protector is the evolution of the Stolen Vehicle Recovery solution, already successfully adopted by Hertz Italia as part of the ten-year partnership with Targa Telematics; thanks to the adoption of increasingly advanced technologies based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, the asset protection service has been improved and enriched with predictive functions that allow for preventive and proactive intervention to prevent thefts or misappropriations from occurring.
“The collaboration with Hertz Italia, which has continued for over ten years, is a virtuous example of how a long-term technological partnership can generate tangible and lasting value,” noted Massimiliano Balbo di Vinadio, Vice President Sales LA of Targa Telematics. “We have built an evolutionary path together that has allowed us not only to face new challenges, but also to anticipate them, developing increasingly advanced and customized solutions. Giving continuity to this relationship means for us to be alongside Hertz Italia every day, contributing with innovation and expertise to the protection and efficiency of their fleet.”
The long-term collaboration between the two companies has allowed Targa Telematics to build a history of Hertz Italia fleet data such as to be able to study continuously updated behavioral patterns and to build numerous risk models that are the basis of the service. Thanks to an advanced predictive analysis system, it is possible to prevent potential thefts through intelligent monitoring of various risk factors. The system analyses and correlates a series of key information in real time, including:

Detection of anomalous behaviour: through geofencing and analysis of usual routes, the system reports suspicious movements of vehicles, such as entry into unusual or sensitive areas (e.g. unauthorised workshops, car dismantlers, key duplication points). The movements are compared with historical behaviour and, in the event of anomalies or recurring patterns linked to potential risks, an alert is sent to the operator.

Customer reliability: the system takes into account any reports from the Security Manager relating to previous accidents, violations or anomalous behaviour of drivers, without disclosing confidential information. In the presence of such reports, the rented vehicle is subjected to proactive monitoring, with the aim of anticipating and coordinating any control interventions, reducing the risk of theft or improper use.

Insolvency reports: the system also cross-references information relating to previous missed rental payments, using them as an additional parameter for identifying potential risks. All this information is processed and transformed into immediate alerts for operators, allowing for rapid and effective intervention in the prevention of vehicle thefts. The technological solution that Targa Telematics provides to Hertz Italia also includes the services of the Operations Centre active 24/7, which analyses the information and intervenes in the event of theft, collaborating with the Police for the timely recovery of the vehicle.
