The sensor is installed in the asset and functions through unforeseeable weather and environmental conditions. The SkyBitz Tractor/Trailer ID ensures timely delivery of goods through the identification of the tractor hooked to the trailer. The information is transmitted through the InSight Web application via SkyBitzs GLS satellite technology. Related Links SkyBitz GPS Applications, Technology and Suppliers
