The post LIV-24 introduces intelligent ‘Vehicle Fleet Management’ technology Enhancing industrial transportation efficiency with real-time command centre appeared first on ThaiResidents.com - Thai Local News - Thai News.
In an era when businesses must compete, not just against one another, but more importantly, against time, Therefore, quick, secured and efficient transportation have become essential for every type of business. This is especially true for the industrial sector, where a wide variety of transportation modes are required, such as for general merchandise, for chilled/frozen products, for construction materials, for petroleum products, for liquids, gases, and hazardous substances.
However, recurring problems in regard to transportation in Thailand have been road accidents arising from speeding, delayed deliveries, lost goods, fuel theft and other fraudulent activities. Also problematic is the management and containment of contaminated materials or materials not originating from the factories in accordance with Ministry of Industry requirements. All these mitigating factors have a huge negative impact on businesses and the communities.
LIV-24 Company Limited, as the leader in the integrated intelligent security technology, can help to solve those problems with “Vehicle Fleet Management”, which is a real-time transportation tracking system that efficiently answers transportation management needs to mitigate and prevent various problems that may occur and to save costs.
Ms. Niramon Direkmahamongkol, Managing Director of LIV-24 Company Limited, reiterated, “LIV-24 is the proprietor of the new ‘Vehicle Fleet Management’ solution, which is the technology most suitable for, and applicable to, various types of transportation. This is because we recognise the potential in the efficient transportation of goods, as industrial manufacturing is an important business sector that drives the country’s economy, especially for the fact that the industrial sector requires the transportation of materials used in the production processes from various locations to the production facilities. This requires strict control of the transportation time in order to prevent the production process from being adversely affected.
“Therefore, fast, accurate, punctual, economical and secured transportation is indispensable to the businesses. For some industries, transportation also means the evacuation of contaminated or unused materials, which may have been disposed of incorrectly leading to harm to the environment and the communities. Those factors involving industrial transportation have made GPS tracking of transport vehicles from the origin to the destination an unavoidable necessity. With that in mind, the Vehicle Fleet Management system is the right solution for the transportation industry, for which we give importance to, and explore the latest technology to apply in conjunction with smarter transportation management.
“LIV-24 recognises an opportunity to increase transportation business potential, especially when industrial plants often contract many transportation companies, making tracking and monitoring of the transportation extremely difficult. Therefore, LIV-24 has developed software and Application Programming Interfaces (API) to support the tasks of transportation tracking, which is an automatic route calculation system for transport fleets in addition to tracking vehicle location in real time and monitoring transport status to meet the needs of the transportation services.
“Furthermore, tracking can also help the operators of transport vehicles to achieve maximum efficiency, thus considerably increasing their business potential. Currently, LIV-24 is monitoring and supervising approximately 225 large transport lorries per day running on 63 routes throughout the country on behalf of large-scale industrial production facilities. This operation is routed through the Command Centre that can monitor overall transportation efficiency in real time.”
LIV-24’s Vehicle Fleet Management system is equipped with the following major operational features:
- GPS Tracking: The system monitors transportation routes in real time, constantly calculating for the shortest transportation routes, or for routes with the least amount of travel time. The system can also help to plan the most appropriate route, especially for transport vehicles that need to make deliveries at multiple points (Multi-Stop), for which the system will calculate to arrange the most appropriate order of stops, to reduce transportation time and to ensure that the products reach their destinations faster, to achieve the lowest transportation costs.
GPS tracking is also able to define the areas that the vehicles enter and exit, allowing delivery services that adhere strictly to the set plans, while also being able to set notifications when vehicles enter and exit the designated areas. This ability is very useful especially for the transportation of contaminated materials that must be handled in accordance with the requirements and has a clear specific destination without any deviation that may cause an impact on the environment within communities.
- Driver Monitoring: This system monitors the behaviour and driving characteristics of the drivers to prevent potentially dangerous driving.
For example, the system can monitor if and when the driver falls asleep, or driving with excessive speed. This helps to reduce accident risks, ensure safety and security of the products, prevent theft or fraudulent activities through the monitoring of fuel usage and producing reports correlating fuel use and distance travelled to achieve maximum efficiency.
- Real-time Alerts: Alert values can be set with the Incident Management System for when abnormal incidents occur, such as when a transport vehicle deviates from a planned route, or when a delivery is delayed. The system can provide notifications through many channels, including SMS, Email and LINE App, etc.
- Transport Lorries Maintenance Data Programming: This system includes recording of maintenance costs and automatic notification of scheduled maintenance. This helps to extend the service life of the vehicles.
- Automatic Data Reporting: The “Auto Daily” report has been designed to provide data that are crucial to the business – “Data scientists” are employed to do comprehensive data analyses and summarisation according to business needs, resulting in the information that is completely reliable. The report can be retrieved at every step, thus instilling full confidence for customers.
“LIV-24 is an intelligent observation technology, with the expertise in providing security 24 hours a day with the aim to increase work efficiency for our customers. In doing so, the technology and the team at Command Centre are adept at monitoring and connecting with the ‘Vehicle Fleet Management’ to help solve any related problems for company owners or industrial plants that utilise several transport contractors. The system helps to reduce difficulties, complications, and management errors. Moreover, the comprehensive data available in the reports can help enhance the operational efficiency and increase the effectiveness of the organisation even more,” Ms Niramon concluded.

The post Advancing Smart Buildings via Effective Management Strategies appeared first on ThaiResidents.com - Thai Local News - Thai News.
Currently, “Smart Building” systems have become a new standard in building construction. Through studies it has been found that the number of buildings using smart building systems is expected to increase by more than 150% by the year 2026*. Implementing smart building systems in business sectors will not only enhance cost management efficiency but also reduce labor and repetitive work. Today, OPEN-TEC (Tech knowledge sharing platform), powered by TCC TECHNOLOGY GROUP, has gathered knowledge from experiences in managing and providing technology consultations, aiming to elevate organizations’ ability to efficiently manage smart buildings.
What is a smart building?
According to the definition provided by WiredScore**, “smart building” refers to a user-centric building that leverages technology to improve cost efficiency, convenience, environmental friendliness, and proactive design.
Factors Towards Smart Building
As previously mentioned, technology plays a crucial role in elevating smart buildings. The application of technology involves six main factors**, including Individual and collaborative productivity, User health and well-being, Community enhancement, Sustainability, Maintenance and optimization, and Security.
Designing or constructing smart buildings is essential, requiring long-term planning to cover every stage and selecting technology suitable for various real estate types. For example, Commercial real estate may need technology for managing temporary access, Residential real estate for regular access management, and Industrial real estate for controlling machinery operations, among others.
“People Process Technology” 3 Main challenges of Transformation
Beyond the aforementioned points, there are three main challenges that the real estate sectors must face during the transition to smart building systems. These challenges include people, process, and technology. People possess knowledge of technology to reduce errors during operations. Furthermore, processes should be aligned with objectives. Lastly, selecting suitable technology for each type of real estate is crucial, such as applying the Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Overcoming these challenges in all three aspects help facilitate the transition of the real estate sector to become smarter.
Green World Vision – New Perspectives for Tenants, Buyers, and Investors
Apart from the challenges, the real estate industry and building users emphasize the importance of incorporating ESG principles (Environment, Social, Governance) as organizational standards. This emphasis has led to the push for constructing green buildings, incorporating technologies such as automatic lighting control to reduce energy waste and improve energy management efficiency. These initiatives contribute to sustainable and efficient smart building management, aligning with Thailand’s goals for carbon neutrality outlined in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
Lastly, the effectiveness of smart buildings relies on careful planning and management in terms of people, process, and technology. Smart building systems have the potential to propel the real estate sector towards sustainability. The content, mentioned above, has been gathered by OPEN-TEC, citing the sources from the “Building Tech Forum 2023,” organized by the Faculty of Engineering, Sripatum University, under the theme “Building System Technologies in the Digital Era.” Special thanks to Dr. Thiti Vacharasintopchai, Smart Property Project Director at T.C.C. Technology Co., Ltd. (TCCtech), for sharing knowledge specifically in the field of Smart Building.

Madi Paidi Bangkok, Autograph Collection, one of the city’s hottest boutique hotels which brings the art of storytelling to life, is excited to announce the appointment of Teerathep “Tor” Tishabhiromya as Executive Chef at EKKALUCK, the hotel’s signature dining destination, as it prepares to unveil an original culinary concept.
Chef Tor has more than 15 years of experience at Thai and international hotels and popular restaurants in Asia Pacific. Having been inspired to cook by his grandmother (the first recipe he learned was her steamed fish with curry paste), he embarked on an impressive career that has taken him to Australia and across Thailand. He achieved his first executive chef role in Laguna Phuket in 2014 and joined Marriott in 2018 as executive chef at Sukhumvit Park, Bangkok – Marriott Executive Apartments.
Over the course of his career journey, Chef Tor has led his restaurants to many awards and accolades, including top rankings on Tripadvisor, while his creative menus have delighted many diners. Most recently, he was executive chef at Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok Sukhumvit 20, establishing the hotel’s culinary direction and successfully overseeing three popular dining venues.
Ever since it opened its doors in September 2023, EKKALUCK (which means “unique” in Thai) has lit up the dining scene in Thong Lor, Bangkok’s trendiest district. Its contemporary style of Thai and international cuisine will now be elevated to new angles of excellence with the arrival of Chef Tor and the launch of its innovative “Brunch, Lunch and Later” concept.
Having greeted guests every morning with a stylish semi-buffet breakfast, featuring healthy plates and live stations, Chef Tor and his talented team will craft a series of signature à la carte dishes throughout the day and evening. Popular Thai and international recipes will be reimagined with an Instagrammable twist, and while each menu item will stay true to its taste roots, the artistic presentation and unique ingredients are sure to spark conversation.
From Pad Thai Chao Phraya, which can be enjoyed in a sizzling street food style or as a Tom Yum soup, to Tao Hoo Klong Ngae, a Southern Thai favorite from Hat Yai province which is prepared with a signature sweet chili & tamarind dressing, EKKALUCK is a haven of creative Thai cuisine, while reinterpreted classics such as Green Curry with Young Coconut Meat and Indian Naan Bread, and the succulent EKKALUCK Burger will tantalize the taste buds. Chef Tor also embraces local and sustainable ingredients; for example, the EKKALUCK Salad is brimming with healthy greens and is inspired by our hotel owner’s passion for homegrown Thai produce, including his own fresh kumquats. Each dish is complemented by our handcrafted cocktails and rare wines, ensuring a truly exceptional dining experience.
This seamless blend of originality, authenticity and modernity will help EKKALUCK to reaffirm its position as one of Bangkok’s most exciting places to dine.
