Ndustrial Unveils Nsight Fleet Platform

Ndustrial, a leader in the energy intensity sector, has recently introduced the Nsight Fleet™, a transformative platform aimed at enhancing the management of transport electrification infrastructure within industrial settings. This groundbreaking initiative comes amid the rapid growth of electrification in logistics, with the electric commercial vehicle market anticipated to see an annual increase of over 23%, hitting a remarkable $250 billion market valuation by 2030.

As industries strive to minimize their carbon footprint and optimize operational efficiency, the Nsight Fleet solution stands out by integrating charging options into existing logistics routes and processes. This is particularly vital for third-party logistics (3PL) providers, as it allows multiple carriers and suppliers to access power for refrigerated trailers. By transitioning from traditional diesel-powered transport refrigeration units (TRUs) to electric TRUs (eTRUs), fleets can achieve a significant reduction in on-site emissions and fuel expenditure, with estimates suggesting a decrease of approximately 30%.

Utilizing the established Nsight™ Energy Intensity Platform, known for its extensive deployment of energy management systems across numerous industrial facilities, the newly introduced fleet management tool empowers businesses to lower energy consumption not only in their factories but throughout their entire supply chain.

Manuel Aguirre, VP of Supply Chain Electrification at Ndustrial, emphasized the integral role of refrigerated transport in maintaining global supply lines, ensuring the quality and safety of goods ranging from fresh produce to crucial medical supplies. "Through Ndustrial's electric fleet solutions, companies can significantly reduce operational expenses and emissions without upfront investment requirements," he stated.

Key Features

The Nsight Fleet package offers a robust set of features designed to streamline operations, including:

• - Yard management and optimization tools: Improving overall efficiency and utilization of space.
• - Real-time charger availability status: Ensuring that logistics managers are aware of charger access at each dock or pedestal.
• - Automated cost allocation and billing for third-party logistics providers: Simplifying financial tracking.
• - Real-time load management: Preventing excessive demand charges that can spike operational costs.
• - Refrigerated trailer audit logs: Facilitating compliance standards and quality assurance.

The design philosophy behind Nsight Fleet focuses on enhancing existing operational workflows rather than complicating them. According to Ndustrial CEO Jason Massey, the intent was never to introduce unnecessary steps. They achieved this by systematically analyzing current processes and tailoring solutions to align with them.

Energy Transformation

With decarbonization at the forefront of industry goals, fleet electrification presents a substantial opportunity for meaningful progress. According to Alex West, a senior principal analyst at Omdia, "Data serves as the foundation for this transformation. Businesses that excel at integrating diverse industrial systems are particularly well-placed to deliver cohesive solutions in this expanding market."

Beyond software provision, Ndustrial also specializes in the design, installation, and management of electric fleet infrastructure. The company offers an innovative Energy-as-a-Service option, creating avenues for facilities to generate new revenue without initial or ongoing expenditures. Additionally, projects like eTRU shore power can often proceed without exceeding the capacity of existing utility services. Currently, Ndustrial is executing eTRU electrification infrastructure for a prominent client in the United States.

This unveiling of the Nsight Fleet platform follows Ndustrial's recent collaboration with Southwire, one of North America's top wire and cable manufacturers, which holds an interest in advancing heavy-duty transport electrification. This partnership equips Ndustrial to roll out integrated electrification infrastructure projects at competitive price points, broadening accessibility to sustainable solutions.
