The AG24 allows businesses to:
--Bring "real-time" location- and sensor-tracking to trailers and other assets;
--Track unpowered assets "for years" with its high-capacity battery and built-in solar panel; and
--Remotely control, monitor and ensure compliance for refrigeration units.
"Now we can pre-cool our trailers remotely, instead of going out to the yard and starting them manually, and we gain visibility into what happens at each customer stop," said Jim Hoss, VP of Operations and Transportation at Cash-Wa Distributing, a Samsara customer who was provided early access to the AG24.
"Samsara's new solar-powered solution would let us extend our visibility into totally new types of equipment such as zero-turn mowers and radar unit trailers," noted Tony Jones, fleet manager for the City of Cocoa, FL.
New sensors, features
Samsara also introduced new wireless sensors. These door, cargo, and temperature sensors offer wireless connectivity and a five-year battery life, the company said, and extend the AG24's capabilities with more sensor data on cargo status.
In addition, the Samsara Cloud software has added reports and alerts custom designed for the AG24 and new sensors. According to the company, the software helps customers optimize asset utilization, increase billing accuracy, recover lost and stolen assets, and simplify compliance when storing and transporting perishables.
