Enhancing Fleet Efficiency: Grupo Energisa Implements Anyline’s Tire Tread Depth Solution
Introduction: Grupo Energisa Grupo Energisa, celebrating 118 years of history in 2023, serves approximately 8.4 million consumers across eleven Brazilian states, covering 10% of the nation’s population. With net earnings surpassing $504M in 2022, Energisa controls nine DisCos across states like Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, and Paraiba. Their concession area spans 2,034 thousand Km², accounting for 24% of Brazil’s landmass. The company manages a fleet of around 5,700 vehicles, playing a critical role in their operations.
The challenge with maximizing large fleet efficiency
Tire Management of fleet vehicles at Grupo Energisa lacked a formal, structured process. Inspections were irregular and typically visual, often coinciding with tire changes rather than being part of a systematic approach. This sporadic monitoring failed to track the lifecycle of tires effectively, resulting in tires not being utilized to their full potential and significant financial losses. The absence of a robust tire management system left money on the road, with tire expenses exceeding $2 million annually.
Using Anyline Tire Tread Depth to bring order and process
To address these inefficiencies, Grupo Energisa turned to Anyline’s Tire Tread Depth solution. The first use case focuses on enabling the organization to conduct monthly inspections of their fleet, starting with pickup trucks, which form most of their vehicle inventory. By implementing this technology, Energisa aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of tire health and establish better processes to manage tire expenses. Currently, the solution is being tested across seven regions of Brazil, with plans for broader implementation as specific success milestones are met.
Considering the substantial annual tire expense, better tire lifecycle management is crucial for Energisa. The potential for expanding Anyline’s meter reading solutions into other areas of their operations presents an exciting opportunity for further efficiency gains and cost savings.
“The ease of integrating Anyline’s tire tread depth solution into our operations has been transformative. We’re excited about the potential savings and efficiency improvements as we roll this out across our fleet, and we look forward to exploring even more innovative applications of this technology.”
“The Anyline solution empowers Grupo Energisa to conduct more frequent and accurate tire inspections, providing real-time data on tire wear and health. We are proud to see this proactive approach at Grupo Energisa as they aim to maximize tire usage, extend tire lifespan, and ultimately save on tire-related expenses.”
