Trailer tracking with Bluetooth beacons

Trailers have no power of their own and change trucks constantly. With a beacon on each one, the Vigilo platform always knows which tractor it is hitched to and where it was left.

The challenge

Knowing which trailer goes with each truck

Trailers out of controlNobody knows which trailer each truck has or where the last one was left.
Unauthorized use and theftTrailers hitched without permission or disappearing from the yard.
Delays and complaintsSearching for a trailer delays departures and deliveries.
Unknown productivityWithout usage data by shift, week or month, the fleet cannot be optimized.
The Vigilo solution

How it works

Beacon on the trailer

Fixed to the front of curtain-side trailers, reefers, tankers, container chassis or flatbeds.

→

Vigilo tracker on the tractor

It detects the beacon when the truck approaches and when it leaves: hitching and unhitching.

→

Trailer and truck linked

The platform shows which trailer goes with each truck, its position and where it was left.
