Introduction to the use and advantages of GPS trackers

The Internet of Things has penetrated into all aspects of our lives and can be applied to various industries. The transportation industry is also in urgent need of high-tech support, and the surge in traffic flow is facing huge challenges. Due to its long distance and efficient management requirements, Eelink has always been considered a priority technology for transportation, especially fleet management in recent years. Eelink devices and radio frequency technology enable smart supply chains and logistics to easily and cost-effectively track valuable assets, mainly in fleets. Today we will focus on the application of Eelink in fleet management. Eelink fleet tracking can track fleet assets in real-time, detect road departures and speeding violations, and more importantly, it can also reduce costs by better understanding problems and closely monitoring real-time locations.

Introduction of GPS Tracker

Where is the cargo carrier located during long-distance transport? For all these problems in logistics operations, the solution is fleet management through asset tracking. Install a vehicle asset tracker on the vehicle and use digital tracking to keep an eye on the location of the asset. Based on this data, the entire fleet can be efficiently organized. But there is more than one solution when it comes to fleet management.

The tracking platform can load detailed transportation maps so that fleet managers can pinpoint the location of the transportation vehicles. The platform supports route deviation alarms, allowing users to monitor the vehicle's travel route. If the driver does not follow the preset route, an alarm will be triggered.

Use of GPS Trackers

Temperature sensor and SOS button involved in Eelink fleet tracking. You can see it used in the following applications:

Equipment mounted on company assets such as trolleys, cranes, tractors, forklifts, and other important dynamic assets can track and share location and status in real time.

If the Eelink sensor detects any sudden braking or collision for a long time, an alarm will be triggered. This way can help regulate the behavior of the driver and notify the management to check if the driver is in trouble.

The Eelink fleet tracking solution can also monitor driver attendance remotely, preventing drivers from engaging in unauthorized or illegal operations after hours. Delivery efficiency can be gained by recording the departure and arrival times of drivers. The location of each vehicle can be seen in the background, allowing drivers to rationally allocate and optimize route planning.

Drivers wear badges with an emergency alert system, which allows them to call for help in an emergency.

Advantages of GPS Trackers

Maintenance costs can be reduced and serious accidents can be avoided by tracking assets in real time, it reduces the cost of equipment obsolescence and major maintenance. There is also a comprehensive view of owned assets, long-term maintenance tracking of assets enables better purchasing decisions when repairs or replacements are required, and managers can use this data to make more informed decisions about company assets. All data, including temperature and humidity, speed, location information and battery state of charge, will be collected to the cloud. Employees will no longer need to go to the site to investigate. Managing data through a computer or other mobile device can save a lot of labor and improve work efficiency.
