Refrigerated and In-Cab ELD Compliance a Key to Transporting Perishable Products Safely

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., March 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management and industrial Internet of Things technology (IoT), today announced an agreement with Robert Heath Trucking for the deployment and installation of the Powerfleet for Logistics refrigerated and ELD compliant solutions.  Founded in 1939, Robert Heath Trucking is a leading middle market refrigerated trucking operation transporting highly sensitive food products throughout the central and western half of the United States.

“Having a great customer like Robert Heath deploy both our refrigerated trailer systems and our in-cab units with ELD is a testament to the value of our recent CarrierWeb acquisition,” said Norm Thomas, VP and GM of I.D. Systems’ Logistics Visibility group. “Robert Heath is known in the industry for their excellent customer service and efficient operations and we are proud to help them be successful,” Norm added.

The I.D. Systems ELD compliant solution is in-cab and powered by the LV9000 hardware device, which is an on-board solution that enables two-way communication with the driver and customized driver workflow.  The Powerfleet telematics solution automatically appends pertinent dispatch data from the customer’s workflow to the driver’s logs, which in turn reduces redundant driver input and helps eliminate possible log violations for inaccurate data.

The Powerfleetin-cab system also provides real-time positions with minute-by-minute reporting and real-time engine performance information such as speed, MPG, idle time, and fault codes.  This performance data can be used to benchmark driver performance and behavior and/or truck performance.  Additionally, the solution also supports ALK PC Miler truck-specific navigation, which then ties to the fleet’s dispatch information to automatically capture the address of the next stop – thus eliminating the need for drivers to enter data manually.

“Our motto has always been “America’s Best” and that is a promise to our customers on each and every load we haul. Our drivers are the key to making sure we follow through on that promise by maintaining our on-time service rating of greater than 98% and we’ve chosen Powerfleet for Logisticsto support our drivers in executing at that service level for our customers,” said Brent Shankle, Chief Operating Officer of Robert Heath.

The Powerfleet refrigerated solution is fully integrated with Carrier® Transicold® and Thermo King® microprocessors, and provides full, over the air reefer monitoring of temperature, alarms, operational status and changes.  In addition, the solution also provides GPS tracking, Two-way command and control to adjust reefer conditions as necessary from dispatch, landmarks for accurate reporting of arrival and departure times, fuel usage reporting by landmark, and dwell time reporting.

The recently acquired CarrierWeb operation is being integrated in the I.D. Systems Logistics Visibility group, becoming Powerfleet for Logistics. The complete bumper-to-bumper technologies include: in-cab with workflow, diagnostics and ELD; refrigerated trailer and container two-way management, dry van and intermodal container tracking technologies. In addition, there is a complete line of sensors for monitoring the status of both assets and cargo, as well as their new deep learning voice interface Lucy® application to help improve real-time decision making.

Company Positioned as Turnkey Logistics IoT Technology Provider

AUSTIN, Texas — I.D. Systems has introduced a new line of trailer-tracking and cargo-monitoring products designed to give fleets more insights about their shipments and also demonstrated a voice-activated reporting interface to help them better utilize that data.

The technology vendor showcased this “intelligent logistics” platform for the first time in the exhibit hall at American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition, held here Oct. 27-31.

To reflect its new product lineup, the company said it now will go to market simply as I.D. Systems, dropping its Asset Intelligence and VeriWise brands.

I.D. Systems’ new suite of telematics devices, dubbed the LV Series, for “logistics visibility,” includes three trailer-tracking device models, the LV-100, LV-300 and LV-500, which offer varying approaches to power management. Each unit connects wirelessly with I.D. Systems’ other onboard cargo sensors to provide real-time event reporting.

One of those sensors, the LV-710, incorporates a high-definition camera and an image-recognition processor to capture digital images of the freight inside the trailer. With those images, fleets can determine not only whether the trailer is loaded or unloaded, but also its level of capacity.

The LV-710 includes an integrated accelerometer and GPS tracking, and detects cargo condition through temperature, humidity, pressure and light level sensors.

Beyond that, the device can communicate wirelessly with freight tags placed on the cargo itself. These LV-740 pallet sensors can detect if and when pallets are loaded.

In an interview with Transport Topics, I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe described a “connected freight” philosophy that extends beyond traditional trailer tracking.

“It’s way beyond just tracking your chassis, container or dry van,” Wolfe said. “We’re going to let you literally see your freight, really process those images and let you inbound plan for that freight.”

The additional information about cargo status can help fleets prevent mistakes such as picking up a trailer that still is partially loaded and respond to problems such as a load that has shifted, he said. “What you’re going to do is stop a lot of problems before they start.”

The imaging capabilities also will bring greater clarity to cargo claims, Wolfe said. The freight camera takes a photo of the freight when the trailer door closes or opens, as well as if there’s a shock in transit.

And understanding the cargo inside can help inbound logistics planners better schedule dock workers, which also can help get drivers back on the road sooner, reducing detention time.

The new LV telematics devices are entering field trials, with a broader launch targeted for the first quarter of next year, Wolfe said.

I.D. Systems also demonstrated Lucy, its interactive voice interface, here at MCE.

Much like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa, Lucy responds to verbal commands to access and report key information.

For example, the user can ask the status of a specific shipment, ask how many dormant trailers are sitting at a given site or ask how many loaded dry vans will arrive at a location in the next three hours.

Lucy pulls the information from a fleet’s asset and cargo database and uses the Microsoft Bing search engine for weather and traffic information.
