STI Chooses I.D. Systems for Onboard Trailer Technology
October 25, 2010
Specialized Transportation Inc., STI, selected I.D. Systems’ VeriWise technology for its
onboard asset telematics. STI receives enhanced remote monitoring and diagnostics
on trailer assets such as GPS positioning and utilization status allowing for real-time
visibility to all of its trailers equipped with the VeriWise system.
VeriWise technology provides STI critical operations data such as when a trailer is
moving, idle, tethered or untethered, its real-time location, location history and telematic
system diagnostics. This information provides the basis for reporting, monitoring and
optimizing trailer utilization. This enhanced visibility to its trailer fleet allows STI to
reduce the need for short-term trailer rentals by identifying under-utilized or idle
equipment. The utilization of the VeriWise technology has enabled STI to better utilize
its assets hence serve their customer’s at a much greater level.
“The sophistication of the onboard technology is a great improvement for us,” stated
Dave Malinowski, STI’s Asset Manager “we have improved the visibility of our assets
which will enable us to make better business decisions. We can also provide up to the
minute status by utilizing a virtual web based interface. This visibility is valuable and will
provide many benefits to our customers and our organization.”
The VeriWise user interface is very flexible and allows STI to assign an unlimited
number of unit-specific identifiers to each individual trailer. This capability enables STI
to create detailed reporting and evaluate trailer utilization by region, fleet group, trailer
specification, make, model or any other key indicator.
