1 Vehicle Tracking Solution Business Challenges KeyTone Benefits Inbound/outbound trailer tracking process is manual, error prone and time consuming Not knowing where a given vehicle/trailer is result in distribution delays Locating or moving a given trailer or a vehicle is extremely inefficient Automated check-in/check-out streamlines operations, improves security and reduces wait times Monitoring dashboard provides visibility of each and every vehicle/trailer in the yard Reduces search times and travel times by accurately locating a given trailer/vehicle Overview The need to reduce fleet turnaround times, improve accountability and security are forcing transporters and yard managers to consider making new investments in their fleet resources. But prior to making investments in new facilities and vehicles, companies are looking to squeeze even more operational efficiency out of their current infrastructure. Inefficiencies in inbound/outbound vehicle management and inability to track vehicle locations impair crossdocking opportunities impacting fill rates and on-time delivery. Yard jockeys spend many hours trying to find a given vehicle or move vehicles between various yard locations only to find it was the wrong vehicle. There is absolutely no accuracy because daily yards checks and physical yard vehicle inventories become outdated as soon as they are completed. KeyTone s Vehicle Tracking solution provides real time visibility of each and every asset in a yard, optimizes work direction and space utilization, and enables companies to run inbound and outbound operations on schedule without compromising facility security. Solution KeyTone solution provides vehicle visibility across multiple facilities, and many yards from a central location. It empowers yard managers to track vehicles/trailers in real time and direct, optimize and continually verify yard jockey activities. This ensures that no time is wasted looking for trucks and ensures that the right trucks are moved to the right location. KeyTone solution improves security and efficiency by verifying vehicles at arrival and departure. It also checks vehicles to make sure the driver assigned is the one operating the vehicle, and that the appropriate contents (or lack thereof) are on the vehicle. Users can gain granular visibility of each and every vehicle in the yard by associating them with an order or loading/unloading doors. Users will now be able to conduct vehicles cycle count accurately and with lot of ease. Copyright 2011 KeyTone Technologies Inc. Page 1

3 Vehicle Tracking Solution Hardware Active Tags The RFID tag is ideally suited for industrial assets or vehicle tracking and monitoring applications that require a rugged, waterproof tag. This tag is ideally suited for operating on metallic surfaces or on plastics containing a high metal content. The tag also has an anti-tamper option meaning it will notify when someone has tampered with the tag. Vehicle Tracking Hardware Active Readers The RFID reader detects and records every time active RFID tags are in range. It can operate in rugged conditions at ultra long ranges and needed only power supply and an Ethernet connection. However, if both are not available on site then KeyTone provides out-of-the-box charge-transmit hardware that is connected to the reader.
