XATA Debuts New Reefer Management Capability
October 19 2009 - 11:20AM
PR Newswire (US)
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XATA Corporation
(NASDAQ: XATA), the expert in fleet optimization, today announced
during the International Food Distribution Association (IFDA) Expo
, the release of a new reefer management and temperature monitoring
solution that integrates with its XATANET fleet management tools.
This capability is the first phase of XATA's comprehensive
trailer-related roadmap slated for rollout beginning in 2009.
Fleets now face increasing pressure to follow strict temperature
standards to ensure that food is not spoiled during transport. On
the cost-saving side, they must also optimize reefer fuel usage and
overall reefer fleet utilization, among other issues. XATA's new
reefer management solution integrates with XATANET and provides
fleets with tools to track temperature data throughout a delivery
and to ensure they are getting the most efficient use from their
reefer fleets. To provide this comprehensive solution to the
market, XATA is teaming up with best-in-class reefer providers to
integrate reefer data with XATANET. Similarly, in line with our
hardware-independence strategy, a specialized, trailer-mounted
computer--provided by a leading third-party provider--will collect
and communicate reefer data back to the XATANET web host. "As
refrigerated fleets continue to invest in technology to ensure
refrigerated product gets to its destination on time, reefer
optimization and temperature monitoring are critical," said Tom
Flies, senior vice president, product management. "To help meet
this need, this enhanced solution gives our customers even more
visibility in to their fleets to ensure time sensitive customer
needs are met." The combined temperature data is presented in a
multi-color graph format to indicate temperature status. Another
feature of the solution is a detailed report that provides specific
temperature information at points all through the delivery process.
This report shows that the goods were delivered within the proper
refrigeration guidelines and timetable. About XATA Based in
