Astrata Telematics: Connecting Data On The Move

Astrata will be showcasing telematics solutions at the transport logistic 2019 trade fair in Munich. The company's slogan is "Connecting Data on the Move". What does this mean? Find out more in the video.

The world of telematics

Astrata will be presenting the world of telematics very clearly at transport logistic. Today, telematics maps the various processes in transport and logistics companies. This begins in the area of scheduling with order entry. It continues with the entire transportation process, where driving and rest times are recorded and speedometer and driver cards are read out. It also monitors whether the vehicle is in the right place at the right time.

Automatic generation of telematics data

The processes should take place with as little driver intervention as possible. The systems should generate data automatically, which can then be integrated into the processes of transport and logistics companies.

Hardware for data collection

In practice, hardware is used that can be installed in the vehicle. APPs are also used to record and transmit data. However, purely software-based solutions can also be used, in which data from other providers is also integrated. For example, orders can be transferred from the ERP system of shippers. The system then determines whether the vehicle is on the right route and will arrive on time. If something gets out of hand, warnings can then be issued.
