entirely devoted to the potentially lucrative public sector, following the acquisition of specialist firm Amatics in 2008.
Powys County Council became the 10th local authority in Wales to adopt Cybit's system, and the company now provides fleet tracking and telematics support to more than 30 local authorities across the UK.
The council uses the Cybit system to manage 450 winter road maintenance and highways services vehicles, such as gutters and gully empters. Each maintenance vehicle has a GPS tracking unit fittec and a mobile data terminal, allowing them to be tracked and monitored in real time. Wisdom says "The Cybit system provides real-time management of Powys County Council's vehicles. The reports provide fleet managers with instant proof that maintenance work has been carried out and allows them to see which areas need further attention and why — essential for public-sector operations."
Last year, Cybit was also awarded a five-year contract by the Highways Agency to track ant monitor more than 400 winter service and maintenance vehicles. The system records whether thE vehicles are spreading, the rate and pattern of spreading, width and lane position, and ploughing 'The telematics system gives [Highways Agency] contractors the ability to monitor location-baser information, check 'planned' versus 'actual' activity, react to problems, and to be confident tha roads have been adequately treated", Wisdom adds.
Cybit also provides technology to organisations involved in fisheries protection, port manage ment and vessel tracking, open-cast mining, and the oil-exploration industry.
