Wireless Remote Asset Management - Solution for Managing Refrigerated Trailers.
Fremont, CA
January 3, 2008
Ayantra, Inc., a Fremont CA-based technology company, announced the release of its FleetReefer solution for managing refrigerated trailers.
Refrigerated trailers ("reefers") carry valuable and perishable cargo. Ensuring safe and reliable operation is paramount. However, most methods to secure reefers have been ineffective, expensive, or otherwise flawed. As a result, many fleets are not properly secured, and trucking companies suffer losses from theft, abuse, and inefficient utilization of their assets.
FleetReefer is a cost-effective solution that utilizes GPS, wireless and web technologies to enable easy management of reefers. The total solution consists of:
- An Ayantra-provided Monitoring Unit & Zigbee Transceiver installed on the reefer
- One or more Ayantra-provided Zigbee Wireless Temperature Sensors
- Ayantra-provided wireless communications services
- An Ayantra-provided website
FleetReefer automatically reports the Location and Status of each reefer in the fleet. It also monitors compliance with each reefer’s temperature-control requirements. Authorized users can set a specific temperature threshold for each reefer, and receive immediate Alert Notifications if the threshold is violated. Up to three temperature zones can be monitored for each reefer. The temperature sensors issue updates every ten minutes, and all readings are logged by the Ayantra system. Access to all information is available via the Internet.
Ayantra describes the resulting report as a "real-time, wireless strip-chart" for reefer management.
FleetReefer also provides traditional types of fleet management information, including Location Reports, Tracking Reports, Mileage Reports, and Speed Violation Reports. Each Location Report indicates whether the vehicle is moving (presented as a Motion Report), or idling (Idle Report).
