Truck Trailer coupling

Simple Bluetooth Low Energy system to track record of each detachable item

Transport & Logistics Solutions - findy IoT

What is Truck Trailer coupling?

As long as most of the trucks and agricultural (machinery) already have GPS fleet management systems, another question comes out – How to keep trailer records as well.

findy IoT Bluetooth Low energy product line deliver such a solution and is even compatible with older versions of GPS Fleet management devices and systems.

A BLE Beacon is attached to the trailer and BLE receiver is connected to the GPS fleet management device through RS232 / RS485 or 1-Wire.

Over Omnicom LLS protocol a list of BLE devices is being sent to the GPS device and from there to the Fleet management software.

Optional data is also available:

– Motion state of the BLE Transmitter could be used to identify and parir only moving objects.
– Accelerometer data of the beacon could give an information, about whether the item is in transport mode or in operational mode.
– Magnet sensor provides data or alarms for door opening.
– Temperature sensor could enable temperature logging for certain type of shipment.
