How does a trailer telematics solution improve fleet efficiency and visibility?
Areacontrol's trailer telematics solution, provides fleet operators with enhanced visibility over mobile assets through integrated GPS trailer tracking, BLE tags, and real-time data monitoring. This visibility allows for smarter route planning, optimized load management, and quicker responses to unexpected events, ultimately helping reduce fuel usage and administrative workload. Real-time alerts for events like door openings, temperature deviations, or unauthorized movements help maintain security and cargo quality. By integrating these capabilities, companies can significantly improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction while meeting compliance standards such as GDP for pharmaceutical and food transport.
What types of alerts and data insights does the system provide to help reduce risk?
The platform generates real-time alerts via color-coded map changes, SMS, and email when critical thresholds are exceeded—for example, a sudden brake event, temperature deviation, or unplanned stop. These alerts help reduce spoilage risks, improve driver behavior, and protect high-value loads. Insights from sensors measuring temperature, humidity, shock (fall), and even magnetic fields contribute to a detailed safety and maintenance overview. Such proactive measures empower fleet managers to address issues before they escalate, ensuring better asset utilization and overall reliability of the telematics solution.
Can this system help with preventive maintenance?
Yes, absolutely. The system captures data from GPS tracking and onboard diagnostics, including CAN and OBD interfaces, allowing users to monitor key mechanical metrics such as brake performance. This facilitates a predictive maintenance schedule, which reduces vehicle downtime and repair costs. Fleet managers can receive automated alerts when conditions indicate upcoming service needs—such as abnormal brake wear—helping to extend asset life and maintain road safety. This contributes directly to long-term cost reduction and improved operational continuity.
