## The Utilization Blind Spot
Most warehouse managers know how many forklifts they own, but very few know how those forklifts are actually being used. Are they moving? Are they idling? Are you renting extra equipment while your existing fleet sits unused in a corner?
TagFinder Track's Equipment Utilization dashboard provides the answers.
## High-Accuracy Accelerometer Data
We don't just track location; we track movement. Using the high-resolution accelerometers built into CargoBeacon EverTags, TagFinder precisely measures move time versus idle time down to the second.
### Actionable Analytics:
- **Peak Usage Analysis:** Identify your busiest hours and days to optimize shift scheduling.
- **Right-Size Your Fleet:** Discover that you only use 70% of your forklifts simultaneously, allowing you to return expensive rentals.
- **Maintenance by Usage:** Schedule preventative maintenance based on actual active hours rather than arbitrary calendar dates.
## Geofence-Based Workflows
By combining utilization data with TagFinder's advanced Site Modeling, you can see exactly *where* your equipment is spending its time. Are forklifts dwelling too long in the loading dock? Is there a bottleneck in the packing area? TagFinder gives you the data to streamline your operations globally.
