Revolutionising Intermodal Transport: The Game-Changing Advantages of GPS Tracking and Customisable Dashboards

In today's complex world of intermodal transportation, where goods move seamlessly between ships, trains, trucks, and warehouses, visibility and control are paramount. Copenhagen Trackers' advanced GPS tracking technology and customisable dashboards are revolutionising how businesses manage their intermodal transport operations. Let's explore, or rather, let you in on how our technology can transform your logistics chain and provide substantial competitive advantages.

The Intermodal Challenge: Why Visibility Matters

Intermodal transport inherently involves multiple handoffs, varied transportation modes, and complex logistics networks. Without proper visibility, these transitions become vulnerable points where delays occur, assets get misplaced, and accountability becomes murky. Modern GPS tracking solutions address these pain points directly by providing real-time insights into your entire transportation network.

Key Advantages of Copenhagen Trackers' GPS Technology for Intermodal Transport.

1. Global Real-Time Asset Visibility
Our Gemstone GPS tracker offers unparalleled visibility across global supply chains - remember with no monthly SIM fee:

  • Continuous Position Updates: Unlike consumer-grade trackers that rely on proximity to specific devices (like Apple's AirTag needing nearby iPhones), our enterprise-grade GPS trackers provide continuous position updates via cellular networks spanning 150+ countries.
  • Superior Coverage: With support for multiple GNSS systems (GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS) and cellular networks, our trackers maintain connectivity even in challenging environments.
  • Precision Tracking: Achieve 5-10 meter accuracy outdoors with satellite positioning, ensuring you know exactly where your assets, trailers, and cargo are at all times.

2. Enhanced Indoor Tracking Capabilities
One of the biggest challenges in intermodal transport is maintaining visibility when assets move indoors - in warehouses, terminals, or below deck on ships:

  • Innovative WiFi-Sniffing Technology: When GPS signals are unavailable (such as inside buildings or containers), our premium trackers automatically switch to WiFi-sniffing, which triangulates position based on nearby WiFi networks.
  • Seamless Transition: The system intelligently switches between GPS and WiFi positioning to maintain tracking continuity without manual intervention.
  • Reduced Power Consumption: WiFi positioning generally uses a lot less power than GPS, which can range from 10- up to 90%.

3. Exceptional Battery & Robust Security Features
Long-term tracking requires reliable power management and advanced security capabilities - something Gemstone does superbly:

  • Industry-Leading Battery Life: Up to 6 years on a single battery charge, compared to consumer alternatives lasting only 1 year.
  • Geofencing Capabilities: Create virtual boundaries around warehouses, ports, or other locations and receive alerts when assets enter or exit these zones.
  • Discreet Design with Field-Replaceable Batteries: Our trackers operate silently and discreetly, making them ideal for theft prevention and recover, with no need to replace the entire device when batteries do eventually run out.
