Wyless and TotalTrax have released a new wireless networking solution based on cellular technology for use in real-time vehicle, driver and inventory tracking products.
Together, the systems ensure that forklifts act as smart vehicles, providing real-time operating data and alerts to improve safety, fleet utilization, labor productivity and inventory accuracy. The cellular connectivity combines with cloud-based hosting for easier data transfer of key metrics without requiring an existing Wi-Fi network.
Using a single access point (router) inside of each warehouse connected to a cellular bridge, the service enables connectivity of all smart trucks within the warehouse. The service is priced as a monthly data plan instead of a monthly per truck charge for a lower total cost of ownership.
