Shaw Tracking unveils latest trailer tracking technology

 

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. -- Shaw Tracking has launched its new Trailer Tracks 210 (TT210) solution, a product designed to deliver timely information about the load status and location of trailers.

TT210 is the successor to Shaw Tracking's Untethered Trailer Tracks (T2) trailer management solution, but offers additional features including:

-An embedded solar panel and antenna;
-Improved memory and processing power;
-A more compact design that enables simpler, less time-consuming installation; and
-Bluetooth capability - configuration and servicing of the unit.

Both TT210 and T2 leverage the same Trailer Tracks host environment, meaning customers using either or both platforms can manage their trailer assets from a single Web portal, officials say.

"We are pleased to introduce Trailer Tracks 210, our next-generation solution for carriers to improve their bottom line through asset management and visibility," said Mike Ham, vice-president of Shaw Tracking.  "With simplified installation, embedded solar power, improved memory and processing power, and Bluetooth technology, TT210 delivers enhanced capabilities to the transportation and logistics industry."

TT210 is slated for commercial availability in the first quarter of 2011.
