Case Study: South32 improves fleet maintenance efficiency with Linxio GPS tracking

South32 - Customer Case Study

South32, a major mining company operating the GEMCO site, faced a challenge with its vehicle maintenance. Their calendar-based maintenance schedule was inefficient, leading to improperly maintained equipment. The company contacted vendor Linxio to explore using telematics to reduce fleet expenses and automate manual processes.

Linxio implemented a solution using a plug-and-play OBDII GPS tracking device integrated with their software and the customer's SAP system. This allowed South32 to move to a more accurate, engine hours-based maintenance schedule. The results included lower overall costs and a more productive fleet. The success at GEMCO led other divisions within South32 to adopt similar solutions from Linxio.
