Fleet managers, regardless of fleet size, know that effective management of trailers and tankers is critical to successful logistics, both domestic and international. Lack of oversight quickly leads to loss of control over assets, unauthorized use, delays, customer complaints, reputational damage, reduced orders and lower profit margins. Trailer tracking is no longer a nice-to-have; it is a necessity for companies that want to stay competitive.
To manage trailers accurately, fleet managers need to know in real time where trailers are, who is driving them, how many stops have been made, and more. It is also important to be able to measure and analyze the productivity of each trailer, such as by hours of use per week or month. Capturing and analyzing work data helps companies manage assets and employees effectively.
BLE tracking as a solution
All-Connects' Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) technology easily addresses the challenges of trailer tracking. Our GPS trackers communicate via Bluetooth with BLE sensors, which can be attached to various types of trailers, from refrigerated trailers to intermodal chassis. Due to their lightweight design and easy installation, BLE sensors are ideal for asset tracking.
BLE sensors emit unique IDs, which are detected by GPS trackers on vehicles and sent to a server along with location data. With this technology, any trailer with a BLE sensor can be tracked in real-time via mobile devices. This prevents errors and makes tracking effective and practical.
Practical features of BLE tracking:
- Proximity Event: Detects when a vehicle is near a trailer, or leaves this area.
- Detection By Filters: Filters and groups trailers by type or other characteristics, for more efficient management.
Bluetooth BLE offers cost advantages, energy efficiency and ease of use, with easy installation and replacement. This technology can be quickly integrated into virtually any fleet, leading to improved corporate reputation, profitability and competitiveness.
