Keeps track
July 1st 2007 A-Plant's A-trak tracking system
allows customers to monitor the
equipment they hire from A-Plant
via a satellite tracking system.
A key benefit of the system was
demonstrated recently when stolen
equipment was located and
recovered at Dover docks. The
equipment was recovered and the
possible culprits detained.
The A-Trak system uses mobile
GPRS devices fitted to equipment
such as compressors, dumpers,
excavators and so on. It provides
internet tracking and telematics
information by communicating with
host servers with bespoke software
that decodes the incoming data.
It was developed with Enigma
Vehicle Systems and can be
accessed by the customer through
the Extranet to obtain information
about equipment status. More articles from Ashtead Plant Hire Co. Ltd: |
