Abstract
Materials handling vehicles are integrated with enterprise computing systems by providing a transceiver on a vehicle, where the transceiver is configured for wireless data communication across a wireless computing environment. More particularly, integration is implemented by configuring a processor on the materials handling vehicle to: communicate with the transceiver for wireless communication to a corresponding server computer, to communicate with at least one electronics component of the materials handling vehicle across a vehicle network bus and to receive logon information to identify an operator logging onto the materials handling vehicle. Integration also comprises configuring the processor to implement at least one customization function on the materials handling vehicle based upon the received logon information by: wirelessly communicating information between the server computer and the materials handling vehicle via the transceiver and interacting with at least one component of the materials handling vehicle across the materials handling vehicle network bus.
