Ten years ago, ISAAC Instruments was incorporated. Still being managed by
founders, owners and old friends, Jacques DeLarochellière and David Brillon, the
company evolved from the motor racing
business to vehicle testing and fleet management industries. ISAAC
Instruments is represented by 11 Value-Added Resellers on 4 continents and
deals with the biggest names in vehicle manufacturing.
The fleet of Transport Robert consists of almost 1000 tractors and 4000
trailers. Its managers know the fleet management and vehicle tracking market
inside-out and they have always been among the early adopters of
technologies that can offer a competitive edge or a way to reduce its carbon
footprint. When they found out about the possibilities offered by ISAAC
Instruments’ technology, they rapidly proceeded with a pilot-study to
quantitatively evaluate the driving methods and habits of its staff. The
managers
identified new ways to optimize operations. Transport Robert is now
deploying ISAAC Instruments’ vehicle telemetry on 250 trucks in order to
turn every trip into a training session. The Information Technologies (IT)
team of Transport Robert benefits from ISAAC Instruments’ collaboration to
link the precious additional data to its existing Microsoft SQL server
database.
“Découverte” approaches the scientific world through popular subjects. The
weekly magazine is presented by Radio-Canada French Television Network. The
team of the show focused on the hybrid buses project of the Société de
Transport de Montréal (STM). The study reveals that hybrid buses
(diesel/electric) reduce fuel consumption by at least 30% in the inner city
where the stops are frequent. The study also shows that they are not as
efficient on suburban routes. To everyone’s surprise, the study also
identified means to reduce fuel consumption of the conventional diesel buses.
ISAAC Instruments has been helping the ski resorts with the supervision of
their snow grooming activities. ISAAC Instruments’ systems contribute to the
operations’ continuous improvement, allowing managers of ski resorts to
better supervise the work and the equipment dedicated to slope maintenance.
Security on the slopes and corporate image are improved while environmental
impacts are reduced.
In order to improve winter road conditions, the
city of Chambly, Québec, has requested ISAAC Instruments to equip its fleet
of vehicles dedicated to winter services. Being a Chambly based company,
ISAAC Instruments has been selling its products around the world and, at
last, shows its know-how where its products are conceived and fabricated.
Last February 11th, Télé-Québec’s « La Vie en vert » presented a report by
Ève Beaudin called « Une automobiliste teste la conduite à 100 km/h ».
The program offers existing solutions to change our everyday habits for
environment’s sake. The report dealt with what has been called
“ecological driving” and presented the results of a study for which
ISAAC Instruments’ system was used and its president was
interviewed for analysis of the results.
