Optimising the Flow
Organised transportation in the supply chain consists of
two critical factors:
- Getting cargo to its destination intact
- Getting it there on time
Without advanced mobile communications, proper fleet
management is an impossibility.

By Land
Our computers are mounted in trucks, vans or any vehicle
transporting cargo, and are loaded with fleet
management software making it possible for fleet
operators to input data and communicate in real time to
central dispatch back at the office. Our computers can
survive the torture of the open road or sea-unpredictable
temperatures, spills, dust, dirt and less than careful use
of the touch screen. Communication options are many.
Operators can use the rugged touch screen, voice or text
messaging.
- GPS mapping is used to calculate the most optimal
route for each driver's itinerary, given various
conditions including road closings, weather and traffic.
Drivers can be notified immediately of order changes and
can adjust their route
- The position of all vehicles is available to central
dispatch at all times so that theft or hijacking of a
load can be closely monitored
- Load assignment and tracking is simplified and
digital signatures and payment options minimize
paperwork
- Surveillance cameras can assist operators with
difficult reversing and parking manoeuvres
- Loads are properly monitored and programmed to
detect if goods have fallen or if the temperature of the
container deviates from a given range
- On board diagnostics provide preventative
maintenance as well as other cost-saving measures such
as change in tire pressure. Pressure automatically
changes depending on the vehicle's weight, saving on
maintenance and fuel cost

By Sea
Container operations at ports face increasing pressure to
improve the accuracy of their data. Not only is cost savings
a concern, but also national security. In order to keep an
accurate track of when and how much of a shipment has come
in and where it is going, terminal operators use systems
running on our computers. Operators can decrease downtime
through improved container movement and space
management.
Sea port operations require computers that can withstand
varying temperatures, salinity, and moisture and can be
easily viewed outdoors in the bright sunlight.
