October 22, 2014 - DPL Telematics has released the MultiTrack system for wireless monitoring and remote tracking of any powered or unpowered asset. This solution improves logistics, helps inventory management, and decreases curb theft. The portable GPS unit requires no external wiring or antenna and may be hidden on any asset.
DPL Telematics' MultiTrack system
The MultiTrack allows managers to remotely monitor any asset via a web-based program or mobile app. Key features of the system include:
- No external wiring or antenna. Quick, unwired attachment to any asset in a “slap and track” type installation;
- Internal battery powered. Up to 16 weeks of internal battery life between charges and completely recharges in three hours via wall plug;
- Little to no sky view required. May be hidden inside or under certain assets;
- Rugged, SAE J1455 compliant waterproof design. For deployment in harsh environments; and
- Compact and complete portability. May be rotated between company assets easily.
As a locator, the MultiTrack notifies whenever the host asset begins moving as well as on demand and alerts during customer defined curfews whenever there is unauthorized activity. The portable solution is a powerful tool to reduce theft, prevent loss and manage inventory.
For a semi-permanent trailer tracking installation, an optional wiring harness may be used to extend the battery life. As a trailer tracking solution, the system is wired to the tail light circuitry to automatically charge whenever the trailer is hitched. When disconnected from power the unit uses its internal battery to communicate location, speed, travel time, route, unauthorized movement and tow alerts. The resulting combination powers intelligent, real time fleet management decisions for superior dispatching with improved pickup and delivery logistics, while decreasing trailer theft and misuse.
