TruckX Conference and Expo takes place at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, Johannesburg, South Africa on July 3, 2019. ORBCOMM will be exhibiting in booth 3.
Truck Management and Driver Behaviour Monitoring
ORBCOMM’s Truck Management solution consists of a comprehensive reporting platform, a telematic device, an in-cab driver interface, in-cab video cameras as well as sensors and peripherals that enable complete visibility of truck fleets and drivers for improved fleet and driver safety, adherence to driving hours, improved fuel economy, fuel theft prevention and reduced liability from false claims resulting from vehicle crashes.
Secure Cold Chain Compliance: Temperature Recorders
ORBCOMM will showcase the latest developments in its temperature recorder and transport refrigeration monitoring systems for reefers and straight trucks, with the Euroscan X3 temperature recorder and the HACCP-compliant Euroscan MX2 communication module. Both devices are ideally suited for cold chain maintenance and reliable transport refrigeration monitoring. They are GAMP 5 certified and the MX2 also meets HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) requirements. As part of a turnkey cold chain monitoring solution, which includes a comprehensive reporting platform, the temperature recorders can be used on a variety of over-the-road refrigerated transport assets to protect loads from spoilage and claims, improve delivery estimates with real-time location data, optimise fuel consumption, prevent theft and more.
Trailer and Vehicle Tracking
ORBCOMM’s comprehensive asset tracking solutions enable visibility of fleets used in oil and gas, mining and transportation and distribution for improved safety and operational efficiency. Along with a powerful reporting platform and cellular, satellite and dual mode (satellite-cellular) telematics devices, ORBCOMM’s vehicle and trailer tracking solution extends connectivity to drivers, vehicles and cargoes in some of the most remote regions of the world for improved security, better customer service and streamlined operations.
GT 1020: Real-time asset tracking and monitoring for heavy equipment in harsh environments
The GT 1020 is a new compact all-in-one telematics device designed for use in multiple asset tracking applications in mining, construction and other demanding environments. Equipped with integrated LTE 4G/3G/2G cellular and GPS antennas, the GT 1020 will withstand extreme weather and environmental conditions such as dust, water, shock and vibration for uninterrupted connections and constant operation. The GT 1020 is quick and easy to assemble and disassemble and, thanks to its small size, can also be discreetly installed on smaller vehicles and equipment to prevent theft and tampering. A permanently installed, rechargeable battery allows reporting for up to nine months without an external power supply, depending on the reporting frequency. The device is available as part of ORBCOMM’s turnkey FleetEdge solution, with APIs and integration tools also available to facilitate integration with proprietary and third-party applications.
