Remote data collection for logistics

In logistics it's important that everything is in its appointed place and that the location data is accurate, reliable and up-to-date. With SATELLINE radio modems it is easy to set up various location data applications.

Control your logistics

Precise location information and real-time data transfer are vital in logistics, whether you're working in a small warehouse or widespread harbor. When you're location a specific container that has to be in a certain place at a certain time, having accurate positioning information becomes far more important than just a handy tool. Thanks to real-time positioning, cargo location is easily tracked and traced. With SATELLINE radio modems data can be relayed from cargo containers in large depots or moving maintenance vehicles at the airport, anywhere where accurate, real-time location data is needed.

Watch your warehouses

SATELLINE radio modems are also used to control automatic gates and booms. With radio modems and location data, passage control application can be automated preventing access by unauthorized vehicles or persons in restricted areas, leaving movements of authorized personnel unhindered. The network is configured so that vehicles and gates are connected to each other and communicate to a central control office.

Stay on top

The data flow in a radio modem network is bi-directional and therefore can be used to control applications as well as to monitor them. For example, the system can be used to track a straddle carrier, which can then be ordered to fetch a specific container at a given time. In warehouses, radio modems are used to control unmanned vehicles and relay location data. The radio modem network can also transmit inventory information between the warehouse control centre and collectors and can be used for real-time stock control.

Safer seafaring

As well as warehouses and depots, traffic control systems are also required in harbors and shipping lanes. In busy harbors traffic is constant, 24/7, so the signs and signals in the channel must function reliably and breakdowns must be addressed instantly. Radio modems can be used to control buoy, channel lights and beacons and utilizing the bi-directional data flow to send both status information and diagnostics from the buoys to the control centre. As the buoys are constantly monitored, all malfunctions trigger an alarm and the problems can be resolved quickly enabling both the smooth flow of harbor traffic whilst maintaining high safety standards.
