SkyBitz has expanded its satellite-based asset tracking services to include two new offerings: Cargo Sensor and Tractor/Trailer ID. Cargo Sensor utilizes ultrasonic technology to monitor the entire length of the trailer for pallets. It can be easily installed in a safe location to prevent load damage. The system provides knowledge of the trailer’s load status, allowing for improved real-time decision making for the redirection of assets. Meanwhile, Tractor/Trailer ID remotely identifies a tractor that is hooked onto a trailer. Fleets can then ensure the correct tractor is picking up the correct trailer, the company says. The tractor information is communicated via SkyBitz’s GLS system and displayed on an easy-to-use Web portal. For more information, visit www.skybitz.com.
