Smart transportation with Opengear ACM7000
A resilient network is the foundation for operational efficiency in transportation. Expanding the global economy, transportation is a key component of the supply chain. Companies are constantly implementing new technologies to streamline operations, minimize costs and maximize services. All of these technological innovations require connectivity and business continuity. Network resilience is therefore essential.
An integral part to understanding and optimizing the transportation component of the supply chain, is a robust network management system. Transportation networks are complex and have different configurations, each with its own unique challenges and many moving parts. Regardless of location, these companies need a complete picture of their infrastructure to get critical actionable information in real time. Continuous connectivity and remote access to the network are essential to maintain turnover and ensure that transportation companies can operate permanently.
Trucks carrying freight contain telematics devices to streamline operations, enhance safety and maximize service. But without Opengear 's Smart Out-of-Band solution, any network disruption interrupts the continuous connectivity needed between devices, drivers and customers.
The truck is traveling across the country,
Transporting temperature-sensitive drugs.
Suddenly there is a problem with
electricity and router
satellite in a truck
stops working.
The terminal receives a notification:
"Hi, we see, that there has been a loss of communication with your sensor package. Please stop by the nearest warehouse to check it out."
The truck is headed in
magazine page,
Trying not to deviate from the route.
The disruption caused
IoT sensors to shut down,
affecting
decisions and functions within the company.
The terminal informs the network support operator,
who sends an engineer to a truck waiting
in stock.
After two hours of driving,
The engineer eventually arrives at the warehouse, identifies the problem and solves it.
The truck arrives at the warehouse,
After the time due to network failure. The driver is greeted by
furious warehouse manager.
You can count on Opengear - to always arrive on time!
