Monitoring and control of transports by way of the terminal GT5
Added: October 22, 2010In practice, carriers must face and deal with communication, wages or invoicing of the performed shipments as part of the freight framework. Transport companies and commissioners search for ways to save money and implement new internal control mechanisms. Especially for large fleets, these are often a way how to gain a profit, provided that they are used properly and regularly. Such tools also exist for the use of our technologies and solutions in the functionality customized to your requests.
In addition to vehicle localization, operation monitoring or fuel measuring and monitoring, GX SOLUTIONS in its monitoring development puts an accent on a regular contact between a dispatch centre and drivers. With its solutions it offers carriers monitoring with the multifunctional terminal GT5. The monitoring system with GT5 gets under control drives, transports and the activity of personnel, thus saving operational costs as much as possible. The terminal communication system maintains a constant on-line connection between the dispatch centre and the driver as well as among individual drivers. It monitors both a kilometric and time course of a transport up to the level of goods control. GT5 takes over the control of transport in action, communication, navigation, attendance and work of a driver, including authorizations for specific vehicles and drives. A dispatcher, not a driver, decides on a route and its planning; which saves you many kilometers otherwise driven in vain. The dispatch centre does not call but sends orders and instructions to the driver by way of a few clicks in the system, straight to the monitor in a vehicle. In turn, the driver informs on the actual situation of the drive, transport regime, semi-trailer identification, and the location of performance, loading and unloading of the shipment directly from the vehicle. An outcome is an electronic record of the operation directly from the vehicle – an activity log.
GT5 already contains a GPS system SYGIC with an option of direct setting – with proportions and weight loading of a carriage set. TIR restrictions can also be set. The dispatcher sends suggested transport routes and crossing points which are most suitable. This fact also has an impact on the cost optimization.
In order to facilitate activities and processes, the terminal enables the driver to send files such as electronic invoices or CMR directly to the dispatch centre. All you have to do is to connect a small hand scanner to the terminal through a USB port. Another advantage of GT5 is a reverse camera for on-line monitoring of the space behind a vehicle. Another camera input is ready for a general use; using it, you are able to monitor the space inside the driver’s cabin or carriage.
Terminal communication via GPRS transmission facilitates an instant exchange of information, thus providing an overview of the situation and loading of transports. You are completely informed about the course and handling of shipments. The situation at transport routes can be hardly predicted and GT5 makes operative management of drivers’ actions, awareness of all non-standard situations or controllability of every change in the plan possible as well. Only with target-focused communication, which is convenient especially for roaming, you will be able to perform transport abroad profitably. The terminal GT5 and transport monitoring with GX SOLUTIONS can also guarantee your customers a long-term successful cooperation with your transport company; they will not just look for lowest-cost services anymore since GPS monitoring of vehicles and transports is often a requirement of the commissioner for performances and services of carriers.
