Battle Motors rolled into Waste Expo this week with its new Fortris AI platform, a proprietary data engine and reasoning system it says will improve efficiency and lower costs.
“The Fortris AI stack processes, analyzes and manages data extremely efficiently to help make you the smartest operator in the business,” said Battle Motors CEO, Michael Patterson. “The Fortris AI reasoning system was designed to emulate human-like problem solving, decision making and inference capabilities to deliver true reductions to TCO.”
The AI tool can be used across mixed fleets and boasts features such as: AI-powered DVIR and TPMS; self-diagnostics; and voice-activated mode with photo capture for streamlined warranty support.
The in-cab tablet and dashboard are powered by Battle’s RevolutionOS.
“With the launch of the Fortris AI, we’re setting a new standard for smart truck technology,” said Paul Marsolan, chief software officer at Battle Motors. “This system is designed to simplify operations, enhance safety, and improve efficiency, allowing fleets to focus on what matters most — delivering results.”
Drivers will benefit from fewer delays and safer routes, the company claims, while fleet managers will enjoy faster decision-making capabilities and reduced costs.
The Fortris Hub consolidates screens and provides information in real-time, Battle said. Inside the cab, the Hub serves as a command center with a 10.5-inch digital instrument gauge cluster and a 14.6-inch center touchscreen.
Fortris AI provides API-enabled third-party access to integrate with body company-installed systems. Customers can begin pricing vehicles with Fotris AI using Battle Motors’ configurator beginning this month, with production to begin in Q3.
