Satellite failover (optional)

Description
Platform
Description
The iSPOT® IVM is a robust GPS vehicle tracking device that can be installed into passenger vehicles and heavy trucks. It is suitable for older heavy truck models as it has surge protection and an optional fuse line to protect it further. The device offers customers real time tracking with a basic fleet management platform. The real power of the device comes from the ability to also offer security tracking as it works with the iSPOT® iSensor. Trucks installed with the iSPOT IVM will now be able to use the iSPOT® iSensor to lock and secure the cargo in container, tanker and truck form easily. With one set of hardware customers can get both their fleet management and security tracking needs satisfied.
The iSPOT® IVM is also able to accommodate a satellite failover function together with an Inmarsat satellite device. This allows customers to never miss a report or tamper due to black spots, jamming or remote locations such as out on sea.
Platform

The iSPOT® Fleet Management System provides basic fleet tracking functionality for customers to track their vehicles. Customers are able to view the historical tracking of fleet and generate reports. Parameters such as speed, mileage and heading will be captured for fleet managers to review.

SmartTape Soter

KEY FEATURES

Tamper evident

One-time use

Each piece is RFID-unique

Metal surface compatible

Suitable for outdoor use

Industrial grade adhesive

Description
Platform
Description

The SmartTape is a patented one-time use tape that can be used to secure containers, trucks, and other closed conveyances.  The SmartTape is one of the main components of Soter’s TransitSecure platform. When applied, the SmartTape will cure and adhere to the surface to produce a visible tamper-evident mark on the tape. Also, any removal of the SmartTape will render it electronically unreadable which will be a further indication of tamper. The SmartTape cannot be duplicated due to this unique electronic component and will serve as a clear indication of the integrity in the chain of custody of the cargo.

Platform

Soter’s TransitSecure solution is a quality assurance and risk mitigation platform for physical cargo that integrates the SmartTape, a mobile application, and a web platform. The mobile application syncs with the SmartTape to add photos, comments, and gain timely information about the cargo. Location, status, photos, and relevant cargo data can be reached through the web platform, helping players in the global logistics industry get visibility of their supply chains, plan and execute better, gain more profitability, and Sleep Well.
