Keeping accurate track of containers and cargo as they move across the globe can be extremely difficult and expensive.

But with an all-satellite GPS solution from FMS, you can track the exact location of all of your containers as they cross the ocean, reside in port, or move via land-based transportation. FMS offers a robust solution for this application, whether it's standard cargo containers, pressurized cylinders or even hazmat enclosures. The FMS GPS module provides extended battery life and minimal power consumption so that no power source is required for up to a year. The internal battery will automatically recharge when connected to a power source. Further, FMS offers a unique option for smart cargo sensing, so that you'll know whether the container is empty, partially or completely full.

With FMS, you get a complete system for mobile resource management that is as powerful as it is easy to use. FMS allows you to go beyond simple asset tracking by providing the information you need to effectively schedule and manage your container inventory.

 

Key Capabilities:
  • Near real-time tracking, anywhere in the world

For shipping and marine applications, FMS recommends installing the OST-400i hardware module on each container.
