The Transport Logistik trade fair in Munich took place live for the first time since 2019. It almost feels like a family reunion when the collaboration has been going on for over a decade. AREALCONTROL GmbH has been part of the tracking tool of Europe's largest freight exchange #tctrack at TIMOCOM right from the start.
The Supply Chain Visibility Extensions are really exciting!
Optimal transport logistics is particularly dependent on digitization, telematics, IoT and apps with a data flow that is free of media breaks. Robust and proven interfaces are essential to keep shippers, shippers, carriers and recipients up to date in real time. This saves a number of telephone calls, e-mails and thus unnecessary time and work.
The AREALCONTROL telematics platform, hosted in the "private cloud", offers all the functionalities required for modern transport management.
These include in detail:
- Truck telematics with live transmission of driving/rest/shift times (D8) as well as fully automatic remote tachometer download (RTDL), driver card and mass data.
- GPS positioning and tracking including trace documentation
- FMS/CAN data for fleet management with "machine learning", a sub-area of artificial intelligence
- Interfaces via REST/API to all leading supply chain visibility platforms including freight exchanges
- XML/web services for the comprehensive connection of the transport management systems
- App ArealPilot 360° @ Android for dedicated, freely defined processes in order and activity management ("mobile workforce management") including live status, images, document exchange, messaging & chat as well as feedback on irregularities and disruptions. Depending on the hardware, also with barcode scanning.
- Digital PlanBoard for disposition and route/tour planning
- Automated scheduling with optimal route/tour planning
- Co-tracking of tools, accessories, transportable forklifts, containers, trailers and trailers via BLE tags/beacons (Bluetooth Low Energy)
- Trailer, trailer tracking including track tracking and optionally with temperature monitoring
- Self-sufficient container location using asset trackers with terms of up to two years.
These comprehensive possibilities can, but do not have to be realized, introduced and implemented in one step. A plan with gradual introduction and thus the realization of a digitization strategy makes more sense. Keyword "Pareto principle" or also known as the "80:20 rule".
Subsidies and funding according to DE-minimis Germany-wide as well as digitization programs, depending on the federal state, are possible for all components.
