Last Mile Monitoring

The Xsense^® Last Mile monitoring solution permits affordable and effective monitoring of deliveries over the last mile where distribution vehicles typically make multiple stops and journeys are short. Product quality is at risk every time the vehicle doors are left open, especially if your deliveries come in small units.

Given the full range of infrastructure and operational variations that companies face, Xsense^® Last Mile Monitoring comes with a variety of functional options. The solution can be fine-tuned depending upon the level of infrastructure available, the level of investment desired, and the amount and type of information required for collection.

Typical applications: monitoring of perishable goods transported in own or third-party logistics vehicles through defined routes, one-off journeys, or operating from fixed bases.

How It Works

The data logger is placed in the vehicle.

Xsense® wireless HiTag™ or Xsense® cellular real-time loggers are placed by the items or in the vehicle.
Dataloggers are associated with the vehicle
Vehicles are configured in Xsense® Cloud.
Depending upon the operating scenario, readings are uploaded upon arrival at specific destinations, or continuously in real-time throughout the journey.
When real-time readings are available, interested parties are alerted to issues in real-time. When real-time readings are not available, users are alerted to issues as soon as the readings become available.
As the goods arrive at the intermediary or final destination interested parties are automatically notified about the progress of their deliveries.
