Truck Tracking & GPS Module
Managing fleet operations to maximize productivity and efficiency is essential to maintaining the profitability of any building materials company. Systech’s Truck Tracking & Communications modules are comprehensive communications systems that provide information regarding where each of your vehicles is located and what they are doing. This allows you to improve the utilization of your fleet and more accurately plan for their future activities based on past performance data.
Key Advantages
• Sophisticated GPS integration with Trimble Mobile Solutions provides automatic and dynamic link with each field vehicle
• Auto statusing (no driver intervention) available for most required functions
• Nextel®, radio, and cellular (CDPD and GPRS) communication alternatives
• Direct text messaging from dispatch screen to trucks can replace most voice communications
• For ready mix, aggregate and building material vehicles
• Interfaces and integration to a variety of mapping tools
INterface with leading vehicle management equipment
The Systech Integra™ system has options to interface and integrate with most leading vehicle management equipment: from complete and seamless integration with sophisticated GPS-based solutions, such as the Telvisant™ GPS system from Trimble Navigation, to simpler options, such as Nextel-based mobile units from Trakit. Systech also supports status devices from most leading manufacturers.
automatic functions save time and effort
The key to the return on investment with any tracking or status system is the ability of all of the various system components to work in harmony, providing the maximum benefit for the least amount of cost and effort. A prime example is Systech’s integration with the Trimble Telvisant GPS-based system. Here, the Systech system electronically and transparently provides the mapping system within Trimble, along with the geocodes or addresses for each delivery as it is being ticketed. This eliminates any manual effort by dispatchers to create “hot zones” at delivery sites to serve as triggers for automatically sending Arrive/Leave Job status signals to one of the Systech Integra Dispatch modules.
At the same time, Systech and Trimble have tightly integrated their system components to automatically record and reflect such events as Loading, Leave/Arrive Plant, Start/Stop Pour or Unload, Washout, Adding Water, Breakdowns, Breaks, etc. This integrated solution can even provide truck engine and drive train performance data from the J-1701 electronic buss in newer trucks. This greatly reduces installation costs and improves overall system performance, while increasing the reporting options available to the Systech software.
pioneering integration features
Systech pioneered such integration features as automatic determination of project geocodes, on-line text messaging with Dinet, converting Nextel mobile phones into status reporting devices with combined voice communication options with Trakit, and much more. The Systech solution ensures the best and most reliable technology available.
Ask your Systech representative to provide a free analysis of the voice and data communication options that are available in your area. You will then be able to select the radio, Nextel, CDPD or GPRS solution that maximizes your return on investment while exceeding the performance criteria you have defined.
