Creating a Smart Fleet with GPS + IoT

When we usually talk about GPS in fleets, we think that there is nothing new to offer your company. To tell the truth, nowadays it is extremely rare for vehicles not to have it.

This technology has become very common and affordable thanks to smartphones, but when we implement it correctly with IoT(Internet of Things) solutions are increasing exponentially.

Without telemetry you could put your vehicles at risk

Even though he GPS It is an excellent technology, by itself it is not a solution for current times. It is at this moment when by implementing the Internet of Things we achieve security.

Thanks to IoT we can create an interconnection network in our fleet that gives us unlimited possibilities. From very basic functions such as knowing the exact location of the transport, to being able to turn off the engine immediately and remotely.

Betting on the safety of your staff and assets

The solution focuses on your fleet security, management and remote monitoring. Below you can learn about the best functions of each of these fields:

Security: Thanks to telemetry it is possible to have alarms and panic buttons that can be activated quickly if any anomaly occurs.

Knowing the exact time the engine turns on and off, along with the exact location, allows you to know the driving habits of your staff. As well as knowing the acceleration data in curves or sudden braking.

Management: One of the most difficult assets to control in your fleet is fuel. Not managing it well can result in very expensive sums that can be easily avoided.

By implementing a family of sensors you can know the fuel level in the tanks of your vehicles, know the time of deposit or if they were drained.

Monitoring: Knowing the exact location of your fleet is not the only thing you can monitor, thanks to the wireless nature of routers you can count on video surveillance.

This way you will be able to know who enters and leaves your vehicles, prevent theft of your assets, improve security and verify compliance with rules and regulations.
