Fleet-Link

The Fleet-Link, an extension of CSI’s Asset-Link product line for remotely tracking and managing mobile assets, is specifically engineered for the tractor-trailer market. It combines accurate positioning and real-time communication to give trailer fleet operators around-the-clock location and status information, while also enhancing North American homeland security.

The Fleet-Link is powered by a truck’s electrical system, but will continue to operate for at least 60 days after the truck has been disconnected from the trailer. A solar-power option is also available to enable Fleet-Link to operate indefinitely, regardless of how long the trailer remains disconnected from a truck.

The Fleet-Link is ideal for monitoring the status and whereabouts of tractor trailers, containers, leased vehicles, hazardous shipments and other high-value cargo. Knowing when a truck trailer has been untethered, where a hazardous load is, when an alarm system has been disabled, when a refrigeration unit’s temperature is out of the safe range, or when a load has made an unscheduled start or stop, can mean the difference between profit and loss - and safety.

The Fleet-Link’s state-of-the-art GPS technology can pinpoint the location of a tracked asset to within 15 meters with minimal power consumption. Its cellular radio, using MicroBurst™ Control Channel technology or Circuit Switched data, delivers immediate reports throughout North America plus parts of Central and South America.

The Fleet-Link’s environmentally sealed enclosure can be discreetly and securely mounted almost anywhere on or in a tractor trailer or other mobile asset.

Trucking companies, heavy equipment operators, vehicle rental companies, perishable goods shippers and other companies need to know where their assets are, and what condition they are in, around the clock. The rugged Fleet-Link tracker/monitor, with seven input/output ports, is easily customized to give managers and operators the information they need to keep their assets rolling and their equipment safe.

The customer determines what combination of alerts and notices are needed for each application. Examples of the many events and conditions that can be monitored and reported include:

  • Cargo stopped outside of its origin or destination for a longer-than-required time
  • Vehicle speed in excess of known limits
  • Engine use or idle time beyond normal limits
  • Refrigerated load temperature outside of safe range
  • Door alarms or other motion-sensing devices have been activated
  • Cargo weight has changed en route
  • GPS-derived odometer reports
  • Use and location of leased assets

The Fleet-Link can be programmed with any combination of 65 different exceptions, meters, actions, events, engine controls, notifications and inclusions - giving service providers the flexibility to configure the product to his or her specific needs.

The standard Fleet-Link unit contains the GPS receiver, communications link, rechargeable batteries, back-up power port and antennas. A solar-powered version that is also available can charge internal or external batteries. It is encased in a rugged outer housing and a separate, equally rugged solar panel with embedded antennas for satellite signal reception and cellular communication. Both versions can be installed in only a few minutes.

When equipped with its 4.5-watt solar panel, Fleet-Link will transmit position reports every hour for years without interruption - matching the useable life-span of nearly every asset the customer deploys.
