M-Logistics
- Mobile Logistics
Solution
Summary
This is a low cost solution that uses a combination of GSM and GPS technologies
to track moving assets. The system comprises of two units:
A Base station and the transmitter unit (Mobicom)
The base station consists of a PC or a server. Its purpose is to transmit
data requirements and present it to the user. Using normal phone lines,
it logs in directly to the Mobicom transmitter unit.
The Base station:
1. Monitors the activities of the moving vehicle
2. Processes the positional data and identifies location
3. Responds to requests from various remote base station users
Requests can be either via users logging in via their ID or by by periodic
requests that have been preset.
The Mobicom transmitter unit is fitted onto the vehicle comprises of a
GPS receiver and a GSM receive/transmit unit. The GPS receiver is responsible
for measuring and providing the positioning co-ordinates to the GSM unit’s
memory. The co-ordinates are updated frequently. On contacted, data in
transferred to the server which processes it. Identification of the vehicle
is via the SIM card number. On receipt of data, the server converts the
data and displays it in the form of a table or on a digitized map.
