Ford Work Solutions delivers four innovative features:

– An in-dash computer developed with Magneti Marelli and powered by
Microsoft Auto that provides full high-speed Internet access via the
Sprint Mobile Broadband Network and navigation by Garmin. It's the first broadband-capable in-dash computer in production. This system allows customers to print invoices, check inventories and access documents stored on their home or office computer networks - right on the job site.

– Tool Link, a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) asset tracking system developed in partnership with DEWALT, the industry leader in professional power tools, and ThingMagic, the industry expert on embedded RFID technology. This enables customers to maintain a detailed real-time inventory of the tools or equipment stored in the pickup box.

– Crew Chief, a fleet telematics and diagnostics system, which allows small fleet owners to efficiently manage their vehicles, quickly dispatch workers to job sites and keep detailed vehicle maintenance records.

– Cable Lock security system developed in partnership with Master
Lock®, the industry-leading lock manufacturer, to discourage theft of expensive tools too large to fit in the cab.....
