Fleet Management and
Asset Tracking
Situation
A retailer was concerned about the safety and security of a few of
their trailers that contained high-value freight in the upper
six-figures $$. Pilferage was an issue as the trailer moved from origin
to customer.
Solution
A device was installed (on their trailers) that tied directly into
myFleet's online monitoring system. In addition to the device, triggers
were put in place to detect trailer door activity. The device
communicated with a satellite system to provide real-time communication
and Global Positioning (GPS) down to a few hundred feet. Any activity
or trailer position outside of the normal scope triggered alarms to
notify the proper authorities.
Benefits
- High-value freight can now be monitored
24 hours per day.
- Alerts are triggered if a trailer door is
opened outside of the permitted time window or if it is outside of the
pre-determined GPS coordinates.
- A map can be monitored via myFleet and
the myLogistics Online website indicating the position(s) of the
high-value freight.
