Truck door opening detection
Integrate Jaxicloud Fleet Management
Innovate wireless magnetic sensors in your connected transportation solutions to detect the opening of truck doors.
Truck door opening detection, what is it?
In freight transport, safety is a major issue for both carriers and
their customers.
Goods worth around €8.2 billion are stolen in Europe every year. To increase the security of these goods, transporters are increasingly equipping themselves with connected telematics solutions.
To meet this challenge and offer a complete solution, we advise you to integrate truck door opening detection into your IoT solution. Using ELA Innovations wireless magnetic sensors, you can simply detect when a truck door is open and alert the driver in real time through your business application.
How does truck door detection actually work?
To implement a solution for detecting the opening of truck doors, you need to equip yourself with magnetic sensors and industrial magnets. The sensor is attached to the inner door of the trailer, and the magnet will be attached to the door pillar in close proximity to the sensor. When the truck doors are opened, the magnetic sensor and the magnet are separated. The information about the sensor's state change is transmitted via Bluetooth to the IoT platform by the built-in telematics box in the truck's cab. This box acts as a gateway and sends the information via the mobile network (3G/4G) to the business application. If the truck doors are opened in an "unauthorized" area, a real-time warning is sent to the driver on his smartphone.
Why integrate magnetic sensors into your telematics solution?
The industrial magnetic sensors from Jaxicloud Fleet Management Innovation are ideal for detecting the opening of truck doors:
100% independent
Their battery-powered operation provides up to 14 years of autonomy, ensuring competitive total cost of ownership.
Compatible with telematics boxes
Equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy technology, these sensors are compatible with most built-in telematics boxes on the market and require no additional integration.
Quick and easy to install
Easy to install thanks to the different attachment methods (high-performance double-sided sticker or screw-on support), these sensors can be attached to any type of surface and require no wiring.
Industrial boxes
These sensors are rugged and waterproof and are designed to be used in extreme conditions. They are therefore waterproof and resistant to shock and vibration.
