At Oia Trans, we strive to provide the best transportation services for our clients. An essential part of this commitment is the use of telematics systems for monitoring our vehicles. These allow us to track the real-time GPS location and communicate with our drivers, ensuring precise planning and safety in transport. Our colleagues are available around the clock.
What is a telematics system?
A telematics system for monitoring container transportation allows real-time tracking of the location and condition of containers during transport. This system includes sensors that transmit data about location, temperature, humidity, stock, and other important information about the content and condition of the containers.
These data are then transmitted via satellite to a data center, where they can be accessed by Oia Trans and its clients, to allow for more precise planning for the routes used. Telematics systems for container monitoring are used to efficiently locate and manage goods transportation, as well as to ensure the safety of the load during transport.
Benefits of Telematics Systems
A concrete example of the benefits of telematics systems can be seen in the traffic between Western Europe and Asia. A shipping container can complete 4 round trips per year. If a ship is missed due to delays in the inbound journey, the number of possible trips drops to 3 per year. In addition to the extra costs due to the delay, the transport capacity deficit must be compensated by renting another container.
By using telematics systems, like those offered by Oia Trans, we can monitor the departure of the transport, report the entry and duration of stay in the port area, and detect crane loading, as well as arrival at the destination or intermediate station. In the case of excessive waiting time at a transfer station, the responsible dispatcher is automatically notified.
This not only shortens the turnaround time, but also personnel costs can be reduced in the long term. Due to savings on rental and personnel costs, the investment in telematics systems will pay for itself within a few months.
At Oia Trans, we are committed to providing the safest and most efficient container transportation services. By using telematics systems, we can ensure that every container transport we carry out is monitored in real time, giving us the ability to respond quickly to any situation that might arise. This commitment to technology and innovation allows us to provide high-quality transportation services that meet and exceed our clients’ expectations.
