The problem of cargo theft has had a debilitating effect on the industry’s operations – with hijackers becoming more organized and tech-savvy, leading to losses of over $15 billion every year within the U.S. freight market. Though there is no one magic bullet to eradicate cargo theft completely, technology can improve defenses.
The challenging industrial issues faced by freight & logistics operators are that they are not notified when the cargo thefts deliberately damage the locks of containers, box trucks. Even some drivers gang up with the cargo theft to steal the valuable goods. Apparently the traditional locks can be used to protect the doors, but its shortcomings is that the logistics/fleet managers will not be notified with alerts about the door status, theft deliberate tampering and so on. Some IoT fleet management service providers has been providing the GPS tracker+ magnetic e-lock combined solution for the container, box truck segment. But they also face some issues that vehicle battery will be drained fast by E-lock, and leave a dead battery when vehicle is in parking mode.
In order to address the challenging issues, Vuewo has specially designed the industrial-grade UPS battery pack to serve as a backup power supply to E-lock system. In this way can we reduce the risk of leaving a dead vehicle battery, and keep the back office notified with alerts of tampering, damaging. A backup UPS battery plays an important role in extending the working hours of E-lock when vehicle is in parking and you don’t know when the cargo theft will attempt to steal the valuable goods inside the container.
