Day & Ross Turns to PowerFleet for Solar Powered Tracking Technology
August 03 2020 - 8:00AM
PowerFleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWFL),
a global leader and provider of subscription-based wireless IoT and
M2M solutions for securing, controlling, tracking, and managing
high-value enterprise assets, announced it will be outfitting a
large portion of the full Day & Ross trailer fleet with
PowerFleet’s LV-500 solar tracking solution and the PowerFleet
LV-710 Freight Camera.
As one of the largest transportation companies in Canada, with
more than 8,000 employees, drivers, and owner operators, Day &
Ross has grown to be a critical player in transportation and
logistics in North America. With a focus on efficient and effective
equipment utilization, Day & Ross intends on deploying the
PowerFleet’s LV-500 product across a fleet of over 3,000 trailers
to optimize the management of shipping lanes and ensure cost
effective operations; a portion of these trailers will also be
equipped with the PowerFleet LV-710.
“After extensive review, we selected PowerFleet’s LV-500 solar
platform and their LV-710 freight camera because it was the most
advanced technology in the market, they are easy to deploy, and
easy to use,” explained Matt Trites, Director, Maintenance, Day
& Ross. “We now obtain literal visibility into how our
equipment is utilized and how the freight is loaded and
handled.”
The PowerFleet LV-500 is the industry’s first multi-powered
asset tracking solution, leveraging solar panels, supercapacitors
and long-lasting primary batteries for unmatched service life and
critical event visibility. The PowerFleet LV-710 combines a
high-definition camera, image recognition processor, door sensor
and ‘cargo-area’ environmental sensors for true freight visibility
and condition, and it also provides accurate visual proof of the
empty and loaded status of trailers, trailer cube utilization and
aids in more accurate customer billing.
“We are thrilled that Day & Ross selected PowerFleet based
on our history of supporting the needs of diversified truck load
fleets,” explains PowerFleet Chief Product Officer, Elizabeth
Elkins. “Our integrated logistics solutions are ideal for the
highly innovative culture at Day & Ross. Combined with our
rugged devices built to perform in the most challenging of
environmental conditions, our solutions offer intelligent fleet
visibility bolstered by our high definition camera and sensor suite
to monitor assets and cargo in Day & Ross’ cross-border
operations.”
