GPS Fleet Tracking

GPS Fleet Tracking – Invaluable to the Construction, Natural Resource and Trucking Industries

Fleet tracking software has become an invaluable tool to many industry. In addition to preventing loss and theft, GPS (global positioning systems) software and tracking devices can also provide real-time position of all types of vehicles, tractors/trailers or pieces of heavy equipment in your fleet. This increased security and asset management means improved efficiency, productivity, and ultimately, a stronger bottom line.

Asset Tracking and Supply Chain Security

A GPS receiver is installed on each of Safefreight’s SecurityGuard™ and Encompass™ hardware devices to pinpoint the exact physical location of fleet assets. The position of the asset is transmitted, along with asset ID and asset-specific messages over a wireless network to a server through to a desktop or web-enabled device with SmartFleet® Manager software. Clients can poll the server to track the location, direction and speed of fleet assets from the SmartFleet® Manager portal.

A System that Improves Security and Productivity

The Global Positioning System is a worldwide radio navigation system, developed and funded by the United States Department of Defense and operated by the U.S. military. There are 24 solar powered GPS satellites orbiting 11,000 nautical miles above the earth. GPS orbits are arranged so that at any time, from any point on earth, there are at least four satellites visible in the sky. These satellites transmit radio signals to ground station receivers or to installed devices that contain receivers, which then calculate the position of the vehicle to within 10-20 feet. Developed for use by the military for naviagation, GPS has become an integral asset in various civilian applications, including personal use - for recreational purposes and on automobiles, as well as in surveying and commercial vehicle fleet tracking.
