Trailer security with the FMB965<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The rapid growth of logistics, e-commerce and retail is increasing demand for rental and leased trailers. According to a report by ReportLinker, trailer rental and leasing for freight transport is becoming increasingly attractive; a market volume of over USD 85 billion is expected for 2027. The growing demand for trailer tracking and leasing requires more transparency and more precise monitoring \u2013 and Teltonika Telematics can help with this.<\/p>\n\t\t

The challenge<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Demand for trailer rental and leasing has been influenced by local and national regulations limiting emissions, changes to vehicle safety regulations and disruption in the automotive industry. Many companies prefer long-term leasing and rental to owning their own fleet. This provides more flexibility with vehicle maintenance and ensures that the means of transport used meet all the requirements of authorities and other institutions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

However, while transport companies make successful use of trailer rental and leasing offers, providers struggle with the security and traceability of their vehicles. Users pay less attention to protecting a rented vehicle or trailer, which increases the risk of losses due to theft, damage or improper use.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

According to the Cargo Theft Report 2021, trailers that do not belong to the driver are more likely to be parked in unsecured car parks \u2013 making them much easier to steal. According to Northbridge Insurance, in most cases not only the cargo but also the trailer itself is stolen, doubling the loss from cargo and equipment. The risk is even higher when trailers are not in use and stand in car parks for long periods.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

The solution<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A conventional hard-wired vehicle GPS tracker must be connected to an external power source in order to operate fully and continuously transmit data to the portal via the internet. Teltonika Telematics, by contrast, has developed a solution that allows the vehicle\u2019s location to be monitored even when the power supply is disconnected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The solution with the FMB965 combines several functions to tackle this challenge as effectively as possible. As trailers are regularly parked for a few days or weeks, the FMB965 vehicle GPS tracker can operate for up to 30 days without an external power supply and sends the exact location of the parked trailer even in sleep mode.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Firstly, the FMB965 has an internal 1,200 mAh battery that allows the tracker to operate autonomously for a long time. Secondly, the special \u201cPower Off Sleep Mode\u201d extends battery life further by reducing power consumption to less than 1 mA. Together, both functions bring companies considerable benefits by reducing potential financial losses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

How it works:<\/strong> To track a trailer, it is fitted with the FMB965 tracker. Trailers are usually kept outdoors, so water can damage not only the trailer but also the tracker. The rugged, water-resistant IP67 housing ensures that harsh conditions such as moisture, corrosion or dust do not impair operation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Vehicle tracking usually requires an external power supply. This keeps the GPS tracker powered and working as configured and intended. When the tractor unit or lorry leaves the trailer in the car park, the external power supply is disconnected and the FMB965 switches to \u201cPower Off Sleep Mode\u201d, which minimises power consumption.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Depending on the configuration, the Teltonika tracker wakes up every 4 hours and sends periodic records with the trailer\u2019s location. This way, the owner knows exactly where their trailer is during this time. If movement, ignition and\/or external voltage is detected, the tracker \u201cwakes up\u201d and notifies the responsible person of a possible threat.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In addition, all relevant operating scenarios are active after waking up. To secure the vehicle, for example, the device can be configured to detect GSM jammers (jamming). In this case, the vehicle or fleet owner immediately receives a notification of the event. A buzzer can also be activated via the digital output to deter thieves and thus help prevent a trailer from being stolen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The \u201cAuto Geofence\u201d scenario additionally protects the trailer against possible loss. It records the last known location coordinates after movement has ended. So when the trailer is parked and remains in the car park, the FMB965 defines this zone and no changes are detected. If someone moves the trailer out of this geofence zone, the owner immediately receives a notification of the change of location. As mentioned above, this scenario also works when the vehicle GPS tracker is in sleep mode and \u201cPower Off Sleep Mode\u201d is activated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Teltonika device can also be used to monitor driver behaviour, including routes, parking locations and use of equipment. If a driver leaves a trailer at the roadside or in a publicly accessible, unattended car park, the rental fee can be recalculated owing to the higher risk of theft and loss.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Finally, to prevent cargo theft, the door status can be monitored with Teltonika EYE Sensors. Fleet operators, dispatchers and drivers are informed immediately when the doors are opened. This helps to monitor the transport process and detect suspicious activity when cargo is not loaded or unloaded where it should be. Please note: if the FMB965 is in \u201cUltra Deep Sleep Mode\u201d or \u201cPower Off Sleep Mode\u201d, the Bluetooth\u00ae LE connection is not available.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
