Setup guide
The platform’s standout feature is the ability to view the trailers’ last attached /detached locations. This feature is not just a part of the platform, it’s a crucial component that empowers you to effectively track the trailers’ movements.
This feature operates by utilising a specific trailer identification method. It relies on the Ruptela GPS device and a 1 wire temperature sensor, both of which play a crucial role in the tracking process.
Each time a trailer is attached/detached, a temperature sensor ID is generated, which is used to track the trailer’s location.
