2066 white zones have been identified exclusively in France (as a reminder, these isolated zones have no network coverage). As a result, many companies with a fleet of vehicles lack visibility regarding their operations and the conditions of their goods. Tracking mobile assets is difficult, as drivers cross mountainous areas without network coverage for instance. These issues are common in Energy, Oil & Gas and Transportation sectors. The IoT/Sat technology provides the possibility to have real time tracking and insights on all types of vehicles, even in the most isolated places.
Recurring problems
- Uninterrupted fleet monitoring (numerous trips through white zones)
- Route optimization (time estimation, choice of the best route…)
- Optimizing fuel consumption to reduce emissions
- Response time in case of technical problems or emergencies
Challenges and goals
- Track a fleet of vehicles without interruption, in real time & in areas without network coverage
- Optimize routes and reduce environmental impact.
- Define geofencing zones (when a vehicle exits/enters a specific zone)
Resources
- IoT/Sat permanent & reliable connection
- Sensors installed on mobile assets
- Itineraries supervision via LiberTee interface
- Alert raising thanks to bidirectional connection integrated to HIoTee products
Results
- Permanent mobile asset traceability
- Adaptation of routes in real time
- Estimation of travel time for a better fleet management
- Real-time alerts for entrances/exits in specific zones
Mobile assets management is essential in many areas. HIoTee products deliver the technology to provide a continuous overview, anywhere in the world, with a permanent and secure IoT/Sat connection. They can also be used to monitor load parameters (such as temperature), or to ensure the safety of drivers and high value-added products.
