The IoC platform has successfully implemented a robust set of features, each contributing to its overall utility and effectiveness.
Tracker Integration
Tracker integration forms the backbone of the IoC platform, enabling real-time visibility and monitoring of containers.
- Tracker Settings: The platform allows users to configure tracker parameters, including sampling frequency and alert thresholds. This ensures data accuracy and relevance based on operational needs.
- Position Updates: Real-time updates from GPS-enabled trackers provide precise container locations. These updates are integrated seamlessly into the UI for immediate visibility.
- Tracker Alarms: Alerts for critical events, such as battery depletion, excessive temperature, light sensor triggers, and collisions, ensure proactive issue management. These alarms help mitigate risks to sensitive cargo.
- Condition Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of key environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity, ensures the integrity of container contents. This feature is particularly valuable for perishable or hazardous goods.
- Push Updates: The system pushes tracker data directly into the UI, minimizing delays and providing users with the most up-to-date information.
- Route Visualization: Interactive maps display current and historical routes, allowing users to identify patterns and optimize logistics.
Container Management
Container management tools streamline operational workflows and enhance container visibility throughout the supply chain.
- Container Information Management: Users can add, update, and manage container details directly within the platform.
- Filtering and Searching: Advanced search tools allow users to locate containers based on criteria such as status, location, or operational priority. This feature significantly reduces the time required to locate specific containers.
Geofencing
Geofencing capabilities ensure precise monitoring of container movements within predefined zones.
- Monitoring Enter/Exit Events: The platform tracks containers entering or exiting geofenced areas, triggering alerts for immediate action.
- Geofence Events in UI: All geofence-related activities are displayed in the UI, providing real-time visibility and context.
- Integrated Geofences: Initial geofences have been configured for Thessaloniki, ensuring the platform is ready for immediate deployment.
- API for Geofence Management: Backend tools allow administrators to modify geofence parameters, ensuring adaptability to operational changes.
- Geofence Reporting: Detailed reports analyze time spent within geofences, offering insights into operational efficiency and compliance.
Maps and Visualization
The IoC platform’s mapping tools provide intuitive and detailed visualizations of container and tracker data.
- Interactive maps display real-time locations, geofence boundaries, and movement histories.
- Users can filter map views to focus on specific containers, events, or areas of interest.
Condition Monitoring
The condition monitoring tools ensure cargo integrity by tracking environmental factors and issuing alerts for anomalies.
- Alerts: Notifications are triggered for deviations in temperature, humidity, and other critical conditions.
- Condition History: Historical logs provide insights into trends, enabling proactive issue resolution and improved forecasting.
User Management
Robust user management ensures secure and role-specific access to platform features.
- Initial Dashboard: A role-specific dashboard provides users with an overview of key metrics and operations.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Roles such as Administrator, Port Authority, and Freight Forwarder are predefined, with customizable permissions for each role.
- User Management Backend: Administrators can manage user accounts, permissions, and activity logs from a centralized interface.
