Haas GPS has announced the availability of an advanced business tracker aimed at users of refrigeration vans. The new unit combines traditional business tracking information such as location, engine on/off, and speed violations, with automatic and on-demand real-time temperature reports. The system can be configured to send text message and e-mail alerts if thermal readings exceed the range set by managers, according to the maker.
The H1410-RVS consists of a GPS tracker, an integrated cell phone, a built-in back-up battery re-charged by the vehicle alternator, a temperature probe, and an antenna. Clients are assigned a password-protected control station accessible at the company’s website. An electronic strip-chart report is updated every 10 minutes while the vehicle engine is on. It remains available for 90 days and until then is downloadable to an Excel spreadsheet. Temperatures outside of a configurable pre-set range can result in immediate e-mail and cell phone text message alert sent to fleet managers. The information provided can result in the prevention of a major loss, or at the very least, lead to more efficient practices, the company added.
