Solution
Skytrack GPS tracker FMB640 provides you with the most accurate tracking data. By having such information at hand, you can make up-to-date decisions and save time needed for cargo delivery. As a result, more deliveries can be accomplished in the same period of time.
Additionally, when GSM network is not available, Skytrack satellite terminal TSM232 can be used to transfer data to server via Iridium satellite network. From North Pole to South Pole – it is the only network system to work at each and every corner of the globe. Hence, the information will be available without interruptions letting you always be in control of your fleet.
Getting accurate data of the loaded cargo is possible by using load sensors that measure weight. This functionality will help both keep precise accounting records and prevent theft. If somebody tries to steal a part of cargo, the operator will get information on cargo weight difference.
Also, to protect a cargo, setting vehicle geozones is a must, i.e. marking manually a virtual fence or a perimeter of a physical location. Vehicle will be allowed to be operated in a certain zone only. In case of trespassing a geozone, an instant notification will be sent.
Another safety measure is enabling driver identification, so that only the authorized person can ride a vehicle. As for keeping drivers safe, in case of danger, a panic button can be pressed to request for immediate help.
The functionality of fuel monitoring is used to read vehicle’s fuel level and consumption. Thus, mining companies are able to use their resources more efficiently and save costs.
FMB640 is a tracker for professional applications with external GNSS and GSM high-gain antennas. They are especially suitable for mining equipment and can secure a high-quality network connection. Otherwise, in case of trackers with internal antennas, GPS and GSM signals can be easily blocked by the solid metal surfaces of the vehicle.
FMB640 is designed for complex solutions where one device can do multiple tasks. Features like FMS CAN data (J1939), fuel CAN data (J1708), satellite terminal TSM232 connected via RS232, Dual-SIM, possibilities to identify driver with iButton or RFID via 1-wire will maximize your fleet’s efficiency.
