iServ India Solutions, a part of Escorts Group, has launched Zybertrack, a
remote satellite-based logistics management system. Zybertrack interfaces GPS/GIS signals received from mobile assets with a web-based back-end
management software that integrates into the customer's applications.
Zybertrack is an integrated web-based management service that offers a wide
range of remote fleet and cargo tracking and monitoring services on an ASP
platform.
According to Kushal Banerjee, CEO, iServ, Zybertrack combines GIS/GPS technology with the power of the Internet to reach vital information right
into the heart of a customer's application.
"Zybertrack is not only a remote vehicle tracking system, but is much more
through its special transducers and back-end application integration capabilities. Users of this service can enjoy significant cost efficiencies
and higher levels of productivity," says Kushal.
The service requires an on-board unit that uses a GPS receiver and a GSM
modem. The receiver calculates the latitude and longitude based on signals
received from satellites and determines the location of the vehicle. The modem thereafter transmits this data using the GSM network. Thereafter the
location of the vehicle is plotted on a GIS map. A GIS web server presents
this data on the map, graphically, on the Internet. The application has a web interface to enable a user to log on anywhere and
anytime to get the required information. Alternate delivery mechanisms to GSM networks are also
available.
iServ India offers solutions where the on-board unit has, in addition, transducers that sense and signal other parameters such as tachometer
readings, liquid levels and opening of hatches. These signals then get synchronized to the vehicles position and get transmitted along with the
positioning signals to the management software at iServs' state-of-the-art
data center in New Delhi. Here it gets processed using mediation software and is transmitted to a customer's application via the Internet.
The main beneficiaries of such a service can be, logistics companies, organizations that have high value or critical mobile assets such as
petroleum companies, drug carriers, cash vans, police vans, executive transport companies, on board couriers and large fleet operators.
Zybertrack also plans to introduce shortly a two way communication service
backed by a 24x7 customer help desk that can cater to emergencies.
