In modern transport and logistics, real-time data is no longer a luxury — it is a necessity. That’s why our WSN solution, which works with our Telematics, brings fleet operators a powerful, self-powered wireless sensor that delivers continuous trailer monitoring with zero wiring required. Indeed, one compact device, with three critical functions. Full visibility, 24/7.
What Is a Wireless Sensor Network?
The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a multipurpose sensor designed to work in conjunction with a Telematic Control Unit (TCU) already installed on a trailer. Once paired, both devices form a seamless telematics ecosystem through which real-time data is fed directly to fleet managers — wherever they are.
Furthermore, its features are activated and configured via a dedicated hand tool device, making field setup and reconfiguration quick and straightforward.
Three Functions, One Device
Temperature Monitoring — Cold Chain Integrity
Specifically, for refrigerated transport operators, maintaining cold chain compliance is critical. As a result the WSN provides continuous temperature monitoring throughout the entire journey, detecting any deviation in real time. This way, it helps reduce spoilage, meet regulatory requirements, and provide clients with verifiable proof of conditions.
Door Status Detection — Protection Against Unauthorised Access
Similarly, cargo security is a constant concern in logistics. Consequently, the WSN includes door monitoring, triggering an alert the moment someone opens a trailer door unexpectedly. Moreover, no extra hardware, no complex installation — just reliable, instant detection.
Vehicle Identification — Truck-Trailer Association
Likewise, fleet operators need to know which truck pulls which trailer — a key requirement for traceability and compliance. Accordingly, the WSN automatically identifies and records the truck-trailer pairing, providing a clear, auditable log of every connection event.
Built for the Demands of the Road
- Self-powered: No external power supply or wiring required;
- 5-year lifetime: Long operational lifespan with minimal maintenance;
- 24/7 data transmission: Continuous connectivity for always-on visibility;
- Hand tool configuration: Features can be activated or updated directly in the field.
Seamless Integration with Your Telematics Setup
The WSN integrates directly with a TCU already mounted on the trailer, meaning fleets already equipped with LID Technologies’ telematics solutions can deploy the WSN with minimal effort and no additional hardware investment. Whether you manage a handful of trailers or an entire national fleet, scaling is straightforward.
Why Fleet Operators Choose Our WSN
Transport operators are under growing pressure to demonstrate supply chain transparency, cargo security, and regulatory compliance. Ultimately, the WSN addresses all three simultaneously — from a single, autonomous device that runs for five years without a power source.
