[Via Satellite 04-08-2016] Distribution Solutions Inc. <\/b>(DSI) has selected Orbcomm <\/b>to provide telematics solutions for its mixed fleet of dry van and refrigerated trailers. The company is using Orbcomm\u2019s trailer telematics systems to track, monitor and control its dry van and refrigerated trailers, with complete fleet deployment expected early in the second quarter of 2016.<\/p>\n
Orbcomm is providing DSI with two-way temperature monitoring and control, fuel management, maintenance and logistics services, which enable DSI to increase in-transit visibility and utilization of its assets, mitigate product spoilage and ensure compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/b>\u2019s (FDA) upcoming Food Safety Modernization Act. In addition, Orbcomm\u2019s cargo sensor continuously reports the trailer\u2019s loaded condition and changes in cargo status, helping DSI increase trailer turn time, improve productivity, eliminate costly yard checks and prevent cargo theft.<\/p>\n
Orbcomm\u2019s telematics solutions integrate with the McLeod <\/b>LoadMasterdispatch software platform, enabling DSI to capture near-real-time asset data for its mixed fleet, including operational condition, exception reporting and GPS position, through one comprehensive system. The satellite operator\u2019s end-to-end solutions include proprietary hardware and a Web application with data reporting and analytics capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now have complete visibility over our entire fleet and can seamlessly track, monitor and control both our dry van and refrigerated assets through one platform, which will have a strong impact on our operational efficiency and performance levels,\u201d said Mike McNutt, DSI CEO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
