Transport and Logistics: insight, control and optimisation for your entire fleet

Your trucks are equipped with the necessary telematics, but you have no insight into the current position, running hours or condition of everything that is being towed. Trailers are not equipped with a battery, so you lose sight of them as soon as they are disconnected.

Your fleet does not only consist of trailers. Also make your refrigerated vehicles, tankers, containers, etc. are valuable assets that deserve tob e tracked.

With Calculus’s support you can digitalise your entire fleet. Data from your classic telematics equipment can be sent to the same monitoring platform to ease your operations. And of course, you can easily share data and insights with third parties.

Trailers: location, running hours, occupancy and tyre pressure

Thanks to a battery-powered GPS tracker, you monitor the location of your trailer. You receive a notification as soon as a parked trailer is moved by third parties. Using the same tracker, you measure the usage hours of your trailer, allowing you to manage your maintenance teams more efficiently. In addition, you monitor the tyre pressure to optimise fuel consumption.

Covered wagons, box trailers and refrigerated trailers: movement and climate conditions

You can your solution for trailers with Bluetooth sensors. With these we monitor parameters like temperature, air humidity, door openings and movement. In this way you guarantee your customer the optimum transport conditions were respected.

Tankers and fuel trucks: liquid levels and temperatures.

In addition to location, running hours and tyre pressure, you can also monitor the liquid level and temperature, by reading PLC-controlled refrigerated transports and controlling them remotely. From simple on or off switching to a remote reset and customised controls.

Containers: GPS location and (illegal) door openings

Containers travel to the other side of the world and back. Determine the GPS location worldwide by means of a specific GPS tracker. In addition, monitor (illegal) manipulation of the doors. This way, you guarantee your customer the location in case of theft and you are aware of any unauthorised use.

Waste containers: monitor the degree of filling and the route taken

Let your end customer know that their waste has arrived at the waste disposal site without detours or stops. Do you want to measure how full certain types of waste containers are? That can also be made transparent for you.

Vehicle tracking systems: manage and track all your vehicles and small equipment

A vehicle tracking system allows you to monitor all transport movements, breaks, routes taken, etc. On the basis of all the other mechanical data, you also determine the necessary maintenance moments. Thanks to our handy Bluetooth tags, you monitor all your small equipment. This way, you know at all times who is carrying which materials.

Management by exception: only deal with matters that require attention.

Thanks to geofencing, you know whether your vehicles are still in the desired zone, area or country. If not, you will receive a notification. You can also use geofencing to inform (maintenance) personnel entering a zone about open tasks.
