RF TAGS FOLLOW-UP AND CONTROL SYSTEM (SmartTracking)     top

SmartTracking solves the problem of the identification, traceability and control of transportable elements, as well as the capture of information, thus improving control, storage, distribution and delivery processes.

This is made possible through radio frequency-based (RF) TAG technology. With these tags and the corresponding scanner (manual or fixed), the simultaneous remote reading of multiple tags is made possible without direct visual or physical contact, thereby speeding up the reading and data recording processes, with the resulting reduction in costs and a global improvement in business processes.

RF tags are the identifying elements associated with each storage component or element to be controlled, and are forgery-proof and inviolable. One of their advantages is that they are passive (they do not require power supply) and may be read and over-written more than 100,000 times. Various types of encapsulations exist, adaptable to specific needs.

FLEET MANAGEMENT (SmartFleet)     top

In a marketplace as competitive as that of transport & logistics, a delay in the planned route may have a strong impact on the operations of pick-up & delivery, as well as on the company's reputation vis-à-vis its clients.

It therefore becomes essential to have a system which makes it possible to analyze en-route vehicle behaviour patterns which can detect in real time any anomalous situation which may affect operations and the quality of customer service.

SmartFleet reports on all vehicle movements, as well as on all information associated with the mechanical conditions of the vehicle. The system then processes this information, making it possible to know such information as:

- Conditions, speed, altitude, date, hour and location of the vehicle.

- Time of arrival at a determined geographical location, provided in real time (point of loading or unloading, a town, or any other point that can be geographically referenced).

- Detours in time or space from the expected route, open doors, temperature, tyre pressure or any information regarding any system which can emit a signal which is then treated and transformed into information.

SmartFleet is ideal for a full range of logistic activities involving mobile elements. It makes it possible to track the movements of mobile elements, pre-programme them, and store and interface them with other applications.

The system may consist of a simple GSM mobile phone, or smart equipment which incorporates GPS, memory and a signal processor.

MOVIQUITY has developed all the necessary applications for integrating different location technologies with management systems and on-board electronics. All of these applications are independent modules, and may be used individually: Geographical Information, route optimization, tracking, etc.

DISPATCH MANAGEMENT (SmartDispatch)     top

Many transport companies and couriers assign shipments to the fleet vehicles through a manual process, which then concludes by revising delivery notes and introducing the data into the computer system for batch post-processing. The highly competitive environment in this sector makes it indispensable to know in real time the status of shipments as they are taking place, in order to be able to proactively treat possible incidences.

SmartDispatch makes it possible to be informed at all times of the status of the vehicle fleet, the finalization of services and possible incidences, thus optimizing order assignment to vehicles. The driver will have all required transport information on-hand, therefore eliminating the need for multiple telephone calls to headquarters.

SmartDispatch streamlines the following operational challenges:

· From his PC, the administrator assigns the list of delivery note codes for that day's shipments to each vehicle or mobile.
· Users may access or download the list of assigned codes directly onto their handsets.
· Users can update the status of assigned shipments on their mobile phone as there are completed.
· Whenever a user updates the dispatching status of a delivery note, the system will automatically trigger the corresponding UTM coordinates.
· Real time events management automatically notifies of certain conditions, such as the successful delivery of a product to the recipient.
· The user can locate the client from the menu of a mobile telephone or a connected PDA.
· The use of this application does not require a change of SIM card, and is independent of the brand and model of the terminal.
