Asset tracking for trailers, swap bodies and load-carrier pools
Load-carrier pools only work if it is clear how many units are genuinely in circulation – and where they stand. In practice the pool spreads across yards, customers and subcontractors, and the stock figure becomes an estimate. Bluetooth tags on the unit plus worldwide positioning over 4G LTE turn that estimate into a number: dwell times, cycle times and whereabouts become visible without anyone keeping lists.
What is tracked
-
Trailers and semi-trailers
Units standing between yards and customers – rarely where they were planned to be.
-
Swap bodies
High unit counts in circulation, spread across many locations.
-
Mesh boxes and pallets
Classic pool load carriers with a high risk of shrinkage.
-
Roll containers
Carriers that travel all the way into the store and are meant to come back.
What it delivers
-
Dwell times become visible
How long a unit really sits at the customer is measurable instead of estimated.
-
Pool size matches demand
Once you know the cycle times, fewer units deliver the same service.
-
Shrinkage surfaces
Carriers that never came back are traceable instead of written off.
-
Handovers are documented
When a unit went out and came back is on record – without paper.
