Empty travel
Distance covered without moving material — returns, repositioning and approaches that never touch a pallet.
RAMS MEPS Platform
Make Every MHEMovement Count.
MEPS—MHE Efficiency and Productivity System—turns equipment movement, utilisation, idle time and task activity into operational intelligence for better fleet performance.

The current state
A moving MHE is not
Always a productive MHE.
Most operations can see that a forklift is busy. Very few can see whether that movement actually moved material. So fleets get bigger, shifts run longer, and the real losses stay invisible — hidden inside travel that looks like work.
Idle & waiting
Time where the machine, the operator or the material simply isn't progressing.
Congestion
Movement constrained by the building itself — aisles, intersections and dock faces.
Fleet imbalance
Some machines carry a disproportionate share of the shift while others stand still.
What MEPS reads
Four things captured
Three things understood.
Position, identity, load and time come off the machine. The Digital Twin gives them a place in the building — and the same four inputs answer three different questions.
Location
LiDAR indoor position, route, distance, speed, zone and dwell — no GPS dependency.
Operator
Session identity through the authentication method configured for the site.
Pallet detection
Whether the machine is carrying material or travelling empty.
Movement & time
How far, how fast, and how long a machine spent working or waiting.
Twin
Digital Twin-ledHow much useful work the fleet creates — pallets moved, loaded travel, task and asset performance.

How it works
Position. Classify.
Measure. Improve.
MEPS converts raw movement into operational information that warehouse teams can act on.

Core capabilities
See how the fleet
Actually works.
Six connected capability groups turn MHE activity into a practical improvement system.
01 · Live positioning
Live MHE visibility
See the fleet, not a list
View the last available position and operating state of connected equipment inside the facility context.
02 · Utilisation
Productive vs non-productive time
Measure where the shift goes
Understand active work, travel, waiting, idle, charging and unavailable time by MHE and shift.
03 · Movement
Route & travel analytics
Find avoidable movement
Analyse distance, paths, repeated movements, empty travel and route variation across the Digital Twin.
04 · Zones
Dwell, queue & congestion
Find the operational bottleneck
Measure time spent in docks, staging, charging, aisles and restricted or high-traffic zones.
05 · Performance
Shift & fleet comparison
Benchmark operating patterns
Compare vehicle, equipment class, operator session, shift and site performance using common measures.
06 · Insight
Exceptions & improvement signals
Move from data to action
Surface extended idle, unusual movement, imbalanced use and recurring delays for operational review.

Proof / Customers
Prove improvement
Against the baseline.
MEPS creates a measurable path from observed activity to verified operating change. Each change is checked against the measure it was supposed to move, on the site's own baseline.
Utilisation
Compare productive share before and after the change.
Productive share, % of shiftIdle + wait
Measure time recovered from queues and inactivity.
Minutes recovered per shiftTravel per task
Track movement reduced through route or staging changes.
Distance per completed taskWork per MHE hour
Connect fleet time to configured task output.
Tasks per machine hourRoute change
Verify a re-routed lane against the travel it was meant to remove.
Distance on the changed laneStaging & zones
Check a moved charger or staging area against the queue it was meant to shorten.
Dwell and queue, by zoneFleet sizing
Test a fleet change against the work the shift actually needs.

Questions operations
Teams ask.
No. Position is the starting point. MEPS is designed to analyse utilisation, activity, travel, dwell, queues, shifts and fleet patterns in physical context.
