Locus Traxx Adding Updated SmartTraxx Portable Unit to Product Line
JUPITER, FL - Locus Traxx has announced that it will be launching an updated version of its SmartTraxx Portable unit, redesigning the equipment to make it possible to fit almost entirely inside the shipping container.
Ray Hoffman, Managing Director of the European venture of Locus Traxx Worldwide and Vitrociset Belgium, says that this new SmartTraxx Portable will “redefine the market,” giving produce shippers more options than ever before.
“SmartTraxx Portable is a multimodal unit that is capable of transmitting location and temperature data from inside a container even when traveling across deep oceans,” he said. “Self-reporting shipments continuously send out real-time information on their location and status updates, which can be received by users on their desktop or smartphone.”
One thing that makes the updated unit so exciting is that it is capable of sending intrusion alerts whenever the doors of a container are opened, protecting shippers from unauthorized tampering of their products.
All the data from SmartTraxx Portable and Locus Traxx's other units are secured and displayed on the company's client dedicated website, Oversight. There shippers can create create reports and graphics for more efficient analysis of their operations.
Together with Locus Traxx's other products like the innovative SmartTraxx Go unit which AndNowUKnow had the privilege to highlight in a previous Behind the Greens episode, SmartTraxx Portable gives logistics companies powerful tools to promote cost savings measures and efficient operations.
For example, the Allen Lund Company, which makes use of roughly 600 SmartTraxx units a month, saved $540,000 in 2012 as a result of a reduction in the level of claims from its client, thanks in part to the information provided by Locus Traxx.
“By reporting the status of the load in real time our customers are able to react immediately as problems arise and not after the fact,” Hoffman shared. “Many times a simple phone call can get a problem solved, thus avoiding damage to the product, time and resource consuming claims and even total loss of product.”
