SkyBitz Introduces Volumetric Sensor Capabilities for Next Generation Remote Cargo Management
October 08 2019 - 9:00AM
SkyBitz, a leader in IoT telematics solutions, announces the launch
of a new volumetric sensor with high-resolution camera offering
remote asset management customers an innovative new option for
monitoring trailer capacity within the SkyBitz SmartTrailer™
Ecosystem.
Equipped with an advanced camera that provides brilliantly clear
images, the solution provides accurate volumetric calculations for
total cubic space as well as total floor space. The availability of
clear images along with volumetric data now helps customers improve
trailer loading to maximize utilization of total cubic space.
Detailed images will provide long-term savings to customers and
improve their entire supply chain strategy by enabling them to
quickly identify issues and communicate proper packaging methods
with their shipping customers. In a constant effort to improve
relations between customers and shippers, volumetric capabilities
offer precise and accurate data, reducing costly damage claims, as
well as lost revenue and time associated with repackaging freight
to help avoid those claims.
“Volumetrics data is critical to line haul customers that
experience freight discrepancies such as load capacity issues,
damage claims, or theft,” states Henry Popplewell, SkyBitz
President. “Integrating this camera to our SmartTrailer ecosystem
allows customers to identify exact cubic space and capture crystal
clear images of freight, eliminating discrepancies that can lead to
millions in lost revenue.”
The device can be mounted on a loaded or unloaded trailer, with
a full installation of the entire system in under an hour.
Images of the freight and any volumetric data are captured
and viewable through the SkyBitz asset tracking portal, InSight,
along with other contextual telematics data. Images can be captured
based on the door sensor trigger, either on-demand or via a
user-defined parameter through the portal, and are available for
use in transport management systems (TMS) from the SkyBitz cloud,
or by importing the actual images into the customers’ system.
