Real time temperature monitoring for Cold-chain logistics

Almost 40% of India's total food production in the country is lost in transit, wasted by consumers or damaged (according to the United Nations Development Program) and almost 80% of the drugs produced lose their potency due to inadequate temperature control during transport (according to business-standard.com). We produce enough food and medicine for our entire population, and at IoT Research Labs, we provide solutions that reduce the loss of these vital resources between the producer and the consumer alongside ensuring quality.

With our GPS enabled Temperature monitoring solutions, we can accurately monitor the temperature of food, pharmaceuticals, or any other valuable, temperature sensitive cargo that requires utmost temperature regulation. Our sensors monitor temperatures with high accuracy; coupling them with door sensors, we alert you when the refrigerated truck has been opened unnecessarily, leading to one of the largest culprits for temperature change within the controlled environment. You will receive Real-time alerts on your mobile phone via SMS and Emails when there is a temperature threshold breach and unusual drops in temperature within the cabin. Our user-friendly Mobile and Web apps give you access to the temperature of your cargo from anywhere in the world on any device, also allowing you to track their location in real time, keeping you informed on how your goods are being transported. Giving you insights to take any necessary action to optimize your transportation.

The potency of biopharma goods goes down if they are subjected to temperature fluctuations and solution to solve the supply chain issues is the need of the hour in a country like India which has diverse climate and weather conditions. Implementing this system will drastically reduce any wastage of food and medical resources during transport, accelerating our country's well being.

Lower Your Insurance Premiums with Smart Tracking

Insurance is a necessity, but can sometimes be a frustrating expense. The customers’ premiums over time are only expected to increase, sometimes, through no fault of their own. It could be the neighborhood they live in, their age, their profession or even their sex. There is an endless list of factors that can increase their monthly premiums based on things they have little to no control over. OSS GPS tracking solutions is a brand of IoT Research labs Pvt. Ltd. that can, for the first time in India, provide insurance companies with insights into individual driving behavior to justifiably lower their client’s insurance premiums!

After analysing billions of kilometres of driving data, Progressive, one of the largest insurance groups in the United States of America, has found that key driving behaviors, like actual kilometres driven, braking, accelerating and the driving time of the day, carry more than twice the predictive power of traditional insurance rating variables, like a driver’s age, gender and the year, make and model of the insured vehicle. Using such information, Insurance companies have a larger range of variables to calculate a premium. Some customers are stuck in a high insurance bracket due to their driving history, or the type of car they drive. Our solutions allow them to lower their premiums by lowering the assessed ‘Risk factor’. Our goal is to provide the Industry with comprehensive driving behavior information to provide ‘Tailored Insurance Policies’ for individuals.

Alongside having potential lower premiums, insurance companies can provide their customers with added benefits such as our SOS systems, alerting the authorities in case of an emergency. We provide state of the art live tracking, for vehicle security, and to aid in the recovery of a stolen vehicle. In case a vehicle is stolen, it can be immobilised remotely. At OGTS, we take privacy very seriously, which is why we provide live tracking only to the customer through our Mobile and Web apps, while providing only simple driving behavior statistics to the insurance companies at the time of contract renewal.

According to the Ministry of Road transport & Highways, there are over 1,300 accidents and 400 deaths every day in India; an overwhelming majority attributed to reckless driving. An initiative by the insurance companies backed by the government to implement our solution, will give customers accountability for the way they drive on the roads. Making the roads safer, because recklessness will be punished by higher premiums i.e. the safer you drive, the more money you save!

Individuals are not the only benefactors. Logistic companies with large fleets of expensive equipment often protect their assets with expensive insurance policies. Proprietors are always looking for ways to lower these insurance premiums, which can also be cost effective to their businesses. As these fleets expand, these costs only increase. How can you pay less for insurance while not reducing your coverage? The answer lies in smart driver behavior based premium calculations for the smart fleets of tomorrow.

Fuel Monitoring

Uncertainty in fuel prices and dependence on fuel are factors which are common to all business. With the ever rising and unstable price of fuel one can never track fuel expenditure accurately. Moreover, as a fleet owner, it is always a tedious task to keep a log of actual refill for every vehicle and also be vigilant of fuel theft. At OGTS we aim at making everyone’s life simpler and thus have come up with a smart GPS Tracking solution which can now help you with not just tracking your vehicle’s movements but keeping an eye on fuel theft and fuel consumption.

We believe that fuel consumption cost increases mainly due to 3 reasons-

•    Fuel-theft

•    Un-accounted trips

•    Malpractices and manipulation during refuel

•    Edge against Fuel-theft -

Our fuel monitoring solutions address’s all these problems, firstly and most importantly it always alerts you in case of fuel theft. Instant SMS alerts with precise location and time are sent to you and moreover using our fuel dashboard the exact volume and cost of fuel theft can be estimated. Our devices detect even the smallest of fuel theft which makes the uphill battle to prevent fuel theft very easy and gives you an edge against fuel theft.  If you are maintaining a fleet then our comprehensive reports can help you determine yours driver’s accountability as our report will highlight the exact location, time, and volume of fuel theft, additionally, it also keeps an account of mileage thus making your fleet safer and more efficient at the same time.

•    Edge against Unaccounted trips -

Another way to maximise profit by using our solutions is to monitor and optimize refuelling activities. It is justified to say that the unaccounted trips and unnecessary fuel usage increase fuel consumption by a significant amount. Imagine if you could monitor your refuelling activities if you could see how much fuel your trips consumes? Our reports provide you with data so you can use it to optimize and plan your routes for better fuel consumption. Also, our dashboard keeps a log of all your refuelling activities with location and time so now you know how, where, and what exactly you spent on fuel. This analysis can help you make a better judgement of your fuel usage so you can easily cut back on excessive fuel usage. This feature has made fleet management simpler and efficient.

•    Edge against malpractices during refuel

Our fuel sensors are up to 99% accurate and thus ensure that you get exactly the amount of fuel that you pay for. Moreover, with the detailed log on our fuel dashboard which can be dynamically updated with fuel prices you can keep an account of the exact expenditure on fuel cost and refuelling status of your vehicle. Using our reports you can also check that the receipts submitted by your drivers are legit and keep manipulation of receipts under check. Thus, our solutions ensure that you don’t fall victim of any malpractices by fuel stations.

A working example of how and where these solutions can be implemented is one of our client's orange travels, a leading travel company of Hyderabad. They are currently using our solutions for their fleet management which consist of over a 100 vehicles.
