Temperature management The refrigerator status and temperature level are monitored and recorded periodically. Data are available on an on-line report. It is possible to monitor up to 3 areas with different temperature range Alarms are sent to receivers by Pop-up, SMS, E-mail A graphical interface is available to monitor temperature trend It is also possible to export data to other systems such as Microsoft Excel Page 13 of 18
ERP Integration: designed for flexibility Sateltrack is a web-enabled software designed for maximum flexibility It provides the Fleet Manager with straight forward tools to create new user accounts. Access can be customized for employes, partners and even Clients It provides a fast and secure access to Clients, even directly from the company site, pushing up the company s technological image and service quality It allows easy integration with any Legacy system already in use using standard technologies like Web Services (XML). These advantages become reality with the Microsoft DYNAMICS NAV management system. In collaboration with certified partners of Microsoft, Cefin Systems has developed a series of features that allow Sateltrack RS3 applications to be integrated with the Microsoft ERP management environment. In practice, a two-way connection with the company s management system simplifies information flows and significantly reduces the need for manual data-entry operations. This produces significant advantages in terms of speed and correctness in issuing invoices and the availability of cost accounting data. Page 14 of 18
Redco S3: simple and powerful range of HW devices Redco S3 is a range of certified automotive info-telematics products based on GSM/GPRS communication technology and the GPS positioning system. From the basic locating system to the more complex logistic device, they all guarantee continuous position tracking, communication and protection of vehicles travelling across the whole of Europe and in all countries with adequate GSM coverage. The devices are capable of recognising and storing a vast range of events regarding a vehicle s technical aspects and activities (odometer reading, key on/off, accident, breakdown, battery flat, crossing of national borders, operation of any equipment installed onboard the vehicle, opening of doors,...) All the information stored on-board is sent at regular intervals via GPRS to the Sateltrack platform servers and recorded in the user area. Here all authorised users can access the information via Internet. Moreover also available... on-board display for two-way messaging and exchange of information with drivers and objective reporting by drivers of activities in progress, and... Bluetooth interface for connection to on-board devices to allow the GPS signal to be sent to any PDA or smart-phone equipped with navigation software And at the end an additional hardware module for reading data from on-board sensors (temperature, weight on axles, etc.) and from the CAN Bus (Controller Area Network Bus) of industrial vehicles to enable accurate and objective analysis of fuel consumption, vehicle performance data and driving patterns.

Two-way communication with vehicle and driver Text messages can be sent between Sateltrack and the vehicles or drivers. This facilitates more efficient communications between the dispatchers and the remote resources. The vehicle can send either text messages or predefined messages, which carry operational data Text messages can also be sent to the vehicle or any GSM phone number Installing the optional on board Display the drivers can communicate using pre-defined text messages and can receive formatted instructions (e.g. delivery orders) It is also possible to provide drivers or any operator working on the field with a Personal Tracker, which could operate autonomously or being associated with vehicles.

Semitrailer and container management The range of Redco S also comprises on-board devices of varying levels of autonomy and duration for installation on vehicles, semitrailers, trucks and non-powered containers. Management of these vehicles is thus fully integrated within the Sateltrack RS3 environment. Cefin Systems and its partners build on their engineering skills and expertise to implement tailor-made solutions and develop special devices to satisfy specific customer requirements. Semitrailers, or more in general any equipment, can be recognised automatically and record each attach or detach operations from any vehicle. Remote surveillance Easy and reliable security functions are available directly to the Fleet Manager, like driver identification before ignition, geofencing with alarms, remote ignition block. Moreover, on demand and thanks to partnership with leading remote surveillance companies we ensure that goods transported in appropriately equipped vehicles managed in the Sateltrack environment are protected against the risk of theft or robbery and that personnel have an escort 24 hrs a day.
