SkyBitz Brings Reefers Into Play With StarTrak

SkyBitz has partnered with StarTrak Systems to launch the SkyBitz Reefer Control Solution. This is an affordable refrigeration monitoring and control technology. SkyBitz Reefer Control allows fleet managers to monitor, manage and control all of their reefer assets from any desktop and allows for complete visibility across all reefer units. With SkyBitz, StarTrak has access to a customer base of more than 450 fleets. The SkyBitz Reefer Control solution offers customers the combined benefits of satellite communications and a tracking solution with a proven, two-way control system that’s available for all types of transport refrigeration configurations from StarTrak. StarTrak is also offering SkyBitz’s satellite solutions to its customers. SkyBitz Reefer Control adds the ReeferTrak innovation to its current broad suite of intelligent sensors developed by SkyBitz. Key to the SkyBitz Reefer Control Solution is the ability to offer two-way communication and control with up-to-the-minute microprocessor information. Precise monitoring and real-time control of wireless temperature monitoring protects loads from spoiling. That reduces freight claims, ensures cargo security, and improves insurance risk and rates. Through the ReeferTrak module, the SkyBitz Reefer Control system interfaces directly to the microprocessors of reefer units provided by all major manufacturers. The affordable monitoring of reefer status includes features such as operating state, temperatures, alarms, battery condition, fuel level, etc., and two-way control functionality to change reefer temperature set-point, clear alarms, etc. This advanced functionality is all visible via the SkyBitz Web Site Application, InSight—Sterling, Virginia
