Global IoT managed services provider Wyless and TotalTrax (a provider of automated real time vehicle, driver and inventory tracking products) have teamed up to provide TotalTrax Telematics customers with a new wireless networking solution based on cellular technology and services supplied by Wyless.
TotalTrax telematics' technologies turn forklifts into 'smart trucks' that provide real time operating data and alerts to improve safety, fleet utilisation, labour productivity and inventory accuracy.
Phil Van Wormer, Senior Vice President at TotalTrax said: "Many fleet operators are unable to obtain the benefits that deployment of our telematics solutions provides because they cannot get IT approval to use their existing Wi-Fi network for data transfer to a server.
"This cellular alternative combined with our cloud hosting services is a simple and cost effective option that can be implemented quickly."
Shelby Noakes, Vice President of Product Marketing at Wyless, added: "Customers appreciate this approach to cellular connectivity because they only pay a small monthly data plan charge per site instead of a monthly per truck charge for cellular service."
