Introducing the Freshsync© Automatic Logger – a new paradigm for fleet operations. It impacts supply chain velocity, accuracy and quality control, all at a lower cost than current methods. Designed for use in the short-mid-haul range of fleet operations and for temporary yard storage, this new-patented product simplifies both operations and accounting. Here's how it works:
- When the truck is within several hundred yards of its destination, an arrival notification is sent to designated warehouse personnel. This allows crews to be ready to receive, avoiding logjams, reducing 'dock time' and fuel burn
- The arrival notification includes arrival and trip temperatures (trip "quality" indication)
- From tht immediate information warehouse personannll can make a quick determination as to quality of load – accept / reject. Inportnatly, there is no logger to retrieve.
- Freshsync Automatic Logger – This data can be used in conjunction with fixed based monitoring data for traceability infomraiton as well as quality control and equipment analysis. It's more than a logger, it's a two-in-one tracking device that speeds supply chain operations and reduces costs.
