Rand McNally launched an expanded asset tracker lineup – all now available on the company’s Rand Platform.
Along with a solar-powered tracker and a battery-driven version, the company is now offering a wired option for customers who require constant location tracking with alerts/pings every two minutes.
“We have customers who transport very high-value cargo and need to know where it is at all times,” explained Adam Ricketts, vice president of product at Rand McNally.
“We were able to develop this wired solution and get it running on the Rand Platform, which enables even more access to key information such as external temperature and humidity readings.”
The wired tracker, the TrueTrack W110, connects and supplies pings every two-minutes as a standard offering. The industries’ average ping rates on wireless trackers can range anywhere from once every 30 minutes to once per day – depending upon need and situation.
All Rand McNally trackers are in stock and available for shipment.
Rand Platform
In June, Rand McNally announced that its Rand Video Telematics (RVT) solution was available on the company’s new platform. An API-first solution, the Rand Platform features technology that reduces risks and accelerates development.
Fleets that use both asset tracking and the RVT package, which includes road-facing and cab-facing cameras, can view drivers, assets and vehicles on the same screen, via a single sign on.
With the added features that the Rand Platform offers, customers have access to:
- The platform’s drag-and-drop workflow tool that can be anything the customer needs – no need to select from prescribed metrics, reports or alerts.
- Enhanced reporting and dashboard views of advance fleet tracking features such as details from vehicle “breadcrumb” trails, geofences and more.
- The ability to create a freeform geofence unconstrained by “polygon” shapes.
More current products, as well as new Rand McNally solutions, will be integrated into the platform in coming months, simplifying vehicle, asset and driver management for fleets.
