TRAILERS TRACKING WITH
EX SENSOR
Intro
The logistics industry is an essential part of any economy, and the driving force behind many sectors: trade, manufacturing, agriculture, e-commerce, services. Trailers are an integral part of the transport system, and they have to be managed efficiently to remain competitive and profitable. Wireless Bluetooth technology combined with vehicle GPS tracking opens up new opportunities for fleet monitoring, making a significant difference.

Solution
Our GPS trackers support wireless Bluetooth LE connectivity, so they can effectively communicate with wireless Bluetooth devices such as beacons and sensors. The lightweight and small EX Sensor should be attached at the front of every type of trailer to be tracked and monitored - flatbed, chassis, and box trailers, dry van trailers, reefer trailers, intermodal chassis and/or containers, refrigerated trailers, life haul trailers, frac tanks, etc.
How it works?
EX Sensor has a unique ID number transmitted over the air as a radio signal at configurable intervals, Explosoft GPS trackers (EX130) mounted in lorries and trucks read, identify them and send this data and profile, combined with its GNSS location details, to a server for analysis and reports. Dedicated software shows (thus, tagged fleet assents) location based on proximity to the closest tracker, helps with BLE accessories assignment procedure management and so on.
Even more, every trailer with an EX Sensor attached to it can be tracked in real-time via any smart device with an internet connection – phone, tablet computer, laptop, or desktop PC. As a result, fleet managers know exactly what is going on and can plan their further actions timely and efficiently. No more the old-fashioned ‘pen and paper’ methods or guesswork whatsoever which is known to be impractical and error-prone.
The EX sensor has two prominent features - ‘Proximity Event’ and ‘Detection By Filters’. The advanced Explosoft GPS device configuration functionality, it provides a choice of various settings and scenarios to satisfy logistics fleet tracking needs.
‘Proximity Event’ - for instance, a vehicle tracker can generate asset proximity events depending on Bluetooth signal strength. This way, trailers with a specified distance from a lorry will be tracked, but others beyond that range will be ignored. Here two distinctive events can be set up - a lorry gets near the trailer and enters the tracking zone - event #1; a lorry moves away from the trailer leaves the tracking zone - event #2. Also, it allows determining each moving (so, the trailer of interest) locations grouped into ‘Near’, ‘Away’ zones.
