Trailer identification sensor

Truck tracking and trailer identification

In the transport industry, as in many other sectors, optimizing time is a major economic issue. Some operations and maneuvers can be partially automated to save operators time. For example, truck tracking and automatic trailer identification make it easier to take inventory of the vehicle fleet, identify which trailer is attached to a truck, or check which loading docks the various trailers are at.

To meet this need and help hauliers gain efficiency and performance, we recommend integrating the automatic trailer identification solution – CargoTrack Bluetooth Low Energy.

How do truck tracking and automatic trailer identification actually work?

The identification device is mounted in the truck’s trailer and is immediately paired with it.

Being 100% autonomous, the sensor transmits a unique identification number via Bluetooth to the GPS tracking device on board the vehicle.

The GPS tracking device then acts as a gateway and transmits the geolocation and identification data to the IoT platform via the 3G/4G or even 5G cellular network.

The operator can then view their fleet inventory in the CargoTrack app, track the coupling and uncoupling of their trailers and manage their loading docks, quickly identifying bottlenecks that could be causing delays.
