ReeferTrak is the industry-leading solution for cold chain management and is designed to meet the unique needs of refrigerated transport companies. In addition to benefiting from the asset management capabilities of Qualcomm's mobile information systems, carriers will also be provided with the ability to remotely control and proactively monitor and manage their reefer assets. The ReeferTrak system's two-way logistical, monitoring and control capabilities can now provide Qualcomm customers the ability to monitor reefer location, as well as control the critical conditions of their refrigerated trailers throughout the shipping process. Fleets can track and locate their reefer assets, monitor and control fuel consumption and remotely control the reefer's operation with capabilities such as start and stop, change set point, and initiate a defrost. They can also remotely monitor reefer operation conditions for alarms, temperatures, and set points. Fleets that adopt the StarTrak solution can benefit from reduced freight claims, risk avoidance, improved cargo security and better fuel management. "Qualcomm is pleased to collaborate with StarTrak Systems to deliver the benefits of refrigerated asset management to our customers", said Norm Ellis, Vice President of Sales, service and marketing for Qualcomm Enterprise Services.
