Your trailers are more than just cargo containers, they are mobile assets carrying your reputation, your profits, and your customers’ trust. Yet for too long, fleet managers have operated with limited visibility into what happens inside those trailers between pickup and delivery.
The transportation industry is evolving rapidly, and the companies thriving today aren’t just moving freight, they’re leveraging data to make smarter decisions, prevent costly issues, and deliver exceptional service. That’s where intelligent trailer monitoring becomes not just helpful, but essential.
The Visibility Gap That's Costing You Money
Every day, fleets face expensive problems that could be prevented with better data
- Load rejections due to temperature deviations you never saw coming
- Wasted trips to trailers that are already full or completely empty
- Disputed deliveries when you can’t prove cargo conditions during transport
- Reactive maintenance instead of proactive problem-solving
The common thread? Lack of visibility into trailer conditions.
Smart Sensors: Your Eyes Inside Every Trailer
The Vizicube Smart Sensor transforms ordinary trailers into intelligent assets that communicate with your operations team. Using advanced IoT technology and artificial intelligence, Vizicube monitors critical conditions and sends alerts the moment something needs your attention.
Here’s how different trailer applications benefit:
Refrigerated Trailers (Reefers): Temperature Precision That Protects Your Cargo
Temperature-sensitive loads represent some of the highest-value shipments in your fleet. A single temperature deviation can result in load rejection, insurance claims, and damaged customer relationships. Vizicube’s AI-enabled temperature monitoring learns the optimal conditions for each trailer and cargo type, detecting variations before they become problems.
Instead of discovering temperature issues at delivery, you get proactive alerts that let you take corrective action while the load is still salvageable.
Dry-Van Trailers: Know Your Cargo Status Instantly
How many times have dispatchers sent drivers to pick up trailers that were already loaded, or deliver to facilities with full trailers still waiting? Vizicube’s cargo status detection eliminates these costly miscommunications by providing accurate, up-to-date data on whether trailers are loaded or empty.
This visibility transforms scheduling efficiency—no more wasted driver hours, fuel, or frustrated customers waiting for pickups that can’t happen.
Door Activity Monitoring: Security and Efficiency Combined
Unauthorized door openings, forgotten closures, and disputed delivery times create operational headaches and security concerns. Vizicube tracks door activity with timestamps, giving you a complete chain of custody for your cargo.
You’ll know if your doors are opened unexpectedly during transport, and you’ll have proof of delivery timing for customer billing and dispute resolution.
Impact Detection and Hard Braking: Protecting Cargo and Drivers
Cargo damage often happens during transport but isn’t discovered until delivery. Vizicube’s impact detection and hard braking monitoring will alert you to potentially damaging events as they occur, allowing for immediate assessment and documentation.
This approach protects both your cargo and your drivers, while providing valuable data for safety coaching and insurance claims.
High-Temperature Cargo: Precision Monitoring for Specialized Loads
For tanker fleets hauling asphalt, hot oils, food-grade syrups, and chemical products, temperature precision isn’t just important, it’s mission-critical. The Vizicube Probe Sensor handles temperatures up to 1,100°F, providing both internal product temperatures and external readings to help calculate heat loss during transport.
Drivers no longer need to leave the cab for manual temperature checks, improving safety and efficiency while ensuring compliance with customer requirements.
The Intelligence Behind the Sensors
What sets Vizicube apart isn’t just the sensors, it’s the intelligence built into the system:
- Artificial Intelligence: Each sensor learns normal operating conditions for its specific trailer and cargo type, reducing false alerts while catching real issues faster.
- Edge Computing: Data processing happens directly at the sensor level, providing faster insights without relying on centralized systems or cellular coverage.
- Satellite Connectivity: Through integration with SmartOne Solar, Vizicube delivers reliable data transmission even in remote areas where cellular coverage fails.
- Seamless Integration: All data flows into My Connect Manager (MCM), your existing fleet management platform, providing a single source of truth for all asset information.
Trailer tracking is no longer optional. It’s essential for cost control, operational efficiency, and customer trust.
With TGI Connect, fleets get a premium system that’s accurate, easy to use, and built for ROI.
ROI That Speaks for Itself
The value of Vizicube extends far beyond the technology itself:
- Reduced Load Rejections: Proactive temperature alerts prevent costly cargo loss
- Improved Asset Utilization: Frequently updated cargo status eliminates wasted trips
- Enhanced Customer Service: Accurate delivery data builds trust and satisfaction
- Lower Insurance Claims: Impact detection and door monitoring reduce cargo damage disputes
- Operational Efficiency: Automated monitoring reduces manual checks and administrative overhead
