Smart Trailer Inventory through Telematics for Freight and Coupling Logistics
How do you find a trailer in a yard of hundreds or even thousands trailers? How to know which ones are on route and which ones stored? How to make sure the trailer is attached to the right tractor?
Smart Trailer Inventory is a solution to a recurring problem in fleet operation, if you are thinking that a tractor-trailer enters a shipping yard and is coupled to the wrong trailer and therefore the wrong load… That’s exactly what happens! You end up with trailers at the wrong destination, unsatisfied customers and excessive expenses that must be covered to correct these errors.
Improper trailer coupling to trucks and unknown trailer inventory are common problems in large trucking companies and represent a significant problem at different levels causing customer complaints and penalties, generating financial losses and reputational damage, for which trailers must be managed efficiently to remain competitive and profitable.
The cost of ignoring valuable and key information for optimal performance in the operation is very high:
- Are we sure the trailer is attached to the right tractor?
- Where exactly is the trailer parked in the yard?
- What was the last known location of the trailer?
- How many trailers are parked in the yard?
Smart Trailer Inventory for Freight and Coupling Logistics
In response to this need of automotive transport, Didcom has developed a management solution for the identification of trailers in real time with Bluetooth sensors that allows carriers to guarantee the agile and precise control of trailers coupling to tractors.
Our solution puts at your fingertips real-time information on the location, date and time of coupling events and ID verification in trailers assigned to tractors to correct errors and avoid cargo trips to wrong destinations. The trailer location is determined by the GO device connected to the vehicle, so all GPS trip logs will be assigned to the attached trailer.
The ID logs are obtained through Didcom BLEG and transmitted in real time through the GO device, which will send all the information to MyGeotab.
