TotalTrax, Inc. has launched a new monitoring platform which boasts "open architecture that evolves with changing needs".

Using a single hardware device, customers choose only the features they need via the purchase of downloadable software packages. These choices include new load sensing and job tracking options as well as impact detection, driver access control and pre-shift inspection checklists. Users can choose which individual functions to employ across different sites and multiple vehicles while managing only one hardware device and data reporting package.

The new TotalTrax SX/VX advanced telematics platform is compatible with existing TotalTrax ID, RF and EM equipment monitoring products, and adds additional cloud-based functionality.

TotalTrax CEO Frank Cavallaro says the materials handling and indoor logistics technology market
has been looking for a more flexible, scalable solution to address fleet safety and warehouse productivity challenges for years.

"The warehouse industry has been talking about smart trucks for a long time, but vehicles are just one part of the equation," he says. "With the TotalTrax SX/VX advanced telematics platform, we have taken the next step by building a more intelligent, flexible, software-driven system that can serve enterprise-level customers today and for many years to come. This will provide a longer life cycle for their original investment and faster ROI."

TotalTrax, formed via the merger of Rush Tracking Systems and Sky-Trax, is a leading provider of real-time vehicle, driver and inventory tracking technologies and fleet management solutions for manufacturing and warehouse operations. By automating vehicle usage, maintenance, impacts and forklift load and location visibility data, the company claims that its customers are able to reduce or eliminate the inaccuracies normally associated with operator input. The resulting business intelligence provides the insight needed to implement immediate improvements resulting in documented productivity gains.
