When a long term customer and major national building construction supplier needed to address a significant fleet safety concern, the project called for extensive logistics, complex installations, and exacting quality standards.
The fleet included box trucks, boom trucks, pick-ups, flatbeds, tractors, trailers, and Moffetts. Vehicle combinations required up to eight cameras, with installations taking as long as 10 man hours per vehicle. All work took place after hours.
Metro Mobile Electronics, LLC. (MME) brought together the planning, technical expertise, and meticulous workmanship needed to deliver a highly successful nationwide rollout.
Coordinating complex installations after hours
A 10-hour installation required careful planning, especially when the work had to happen outside the customer’s operating hours.
Our team coordinated technician schedules, equipment availability, and installation windows across hundreds of locations nationwide. Each appointment had to accommodate the full scope of work, with quality guiding the schedule.
We accounted for each vehicle’s requirements before work began and gave technicians the time needed to complete the installation properly.
Adapting to a diverse fleet
A box truck presented different installation challenges from a boom truck or tractor-trailer combination. Camera placement, cable routing, and equipment connections had to suit each vehicle’s configuration.
With up to eight cameras per combination, every component required careful attention. Our technicians adapted the installations to the equipment while maintaining consistent workmanship throughout the rollout.
Keeping trucks and trailers interchangeable
The customer regularly reassigned trailers between trucks, so the camera installations had to be exacting and accommodate changing combinations.
MME supplied specialized harnesses that allowed compatible trucks and trailers to interconnect as equipment moved throughout the fleet. Those connections were a critical part of making the camera systems practical for daily operations.
Planning for interchangeability helped ensure the installations supported the way the customer actually used its equipment.
Making quality the priority!
The project addressed a significant safety concern. There was no room for shortcuts or mistakes.
From camera placement and cable routing to harness connections and final system checks, each installation demanded precision. Long work windows and after-hours schedules made that discipline especially important.
The customer had sensitive requirements and high expectations. Our team treated those priorities as requirements for every installation, giving each vehicle the attention the work demanded.
Delivering a successful nationwide rollout
MME delivered a highly successful rollout by coordinating lengthy after-hours installations across a diverse fleet and supplying the specialized connections needed for interchangeable truck and trailer combinations.
The project demonstrated the value of planning around the customer’s operations and maintaining meticulous standards from start to finish.
