Atlanta GA (SPX) Mar 12, 2009 TransCore has expanded GlobalWave satellite communications product line to offer a new equipment management system to track, manage, and monitor heavy equipment. The new product expands TransCore's market for its line of satellite communications technology, leveraging the company's success in commercial truck and trailer tracking. With hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in trucks, excavators, backhoes, graders, and other equipment, tracking is crucial to keep close tabs on expensive assets. Through global positioning system (GPS) and geostationary satellites, GlobalWave mobile terminals and the function-rich graphical interface enable operators to reduce operating costs and protect rental assets against equipment failure and theft by wirelessly monitoring critical machine operating parameters. GlobalWave's Web accessible product provides at-a-glance visibility into the status of equipment, easily determining location and service hour meter data. The easy-to-navigate interface features street-level maps and color-coded status indicators to provide usage information almost instantly. User-determined parameters and filters make searches for needed data rapid and efficient and help locate and dispatch equipment, maintenance, deter theft, or recover equipment. "Automating labor intensive and error prone manual tasks, the GlobalWave Equipment Management System delivers immediate operational and equipment efficiency," explains Brad Poulin, GlobalWave Business Development director. "By bundling hardware, software, and airtime, along with the ease and immediacy of Web-based access to information, we have made the system simple to adopt."
GlobalWave Heavy Equipment Management System Designed and manufactured by TransCore, each terminal is a sophisticated unit featuring all of the electronic components required for satellite communications, tracking, monitoring, and control - right off the shelf. Environmentally sealed and fully tested to withstand shock, vibration, temperature extremes, high-pressure wash, and other harsh environmental conditions, GlobalWave satellite terminals are compact, highly reliable, and easy to install. GlobalWave terminals also feature the lowest power consumption in the market. Capabilities, features and benefits of the product and service include:
BENEFITS + Minimize purchases of new equipment + Lower operating costs + Minimize equipment failure + Accountability through usage charges + Improved project costing + Recover missing and stolen assets + Reduce labor required to find assets
FEATURES + GPS location reports + Location and status on demand + Geofencing + Service warnings and alarms + Find equipment quickly by asset, job site, or geographic location + Hours by job site or equipment information + Hour reports on site arrival and departure
OPERATIONAL REPORTS + Maintenance schedules and status + Service meter hours + Inventory status Related Links TransCore GPS Applications, Technology and Suppliers
