With a history of more than two decades, the company has positioned itself in the industry as a benchmark in technological integration in the transportation industry, in times when the safety and efficiency of the operation is vital. With a value proposition based on quality of service, knowledge and experience, GPS Chile transports its clients’ operations.
In a challenging environment marked by a recovering economy, cost increases and safety problems, the land transportation market in Chile has demonstrated notable resilience, projecting a more optimistic scenario for 2024. In this context, companies in the sector must be live up to the demands and offer innovative solutions that add value.
GPS Chile, with more than 20 years of experience, has established itself as a leader in the integration of advanced technologies for efficiency and safety in the cargo transportation industry.
“We have significant experience in the mining, fuel, logistics, forestry industry, operational leasing, construction, retail, among others, and we integrate with all the logistics operators in the country. Additionally, our mission is to deliver an exceptional and quality service, which is why we have an outstanding team of professionals, sales, technical service and development specialists, present throughout the national territory,” says Mario Yáñez, general manager of GPS Chile. .
THE VALUE PROPOSITION OF GPS CHILE
GPS Chile stands out for its ability to understand and accompany the needs of companies in the sector, supporting improvements that leverage the productivity and safety of operations and people.
“At GPS Chile we are committed to providing strategic information for logistics operations, regardless of the size of the fleet or the industry in which it operates,” said the company’s general manager.
Along these lines, the GPS Chile service incorporates key analytics and reports to the operation. “With these data and key indicators, informed decisions can be made. What is not measured, is not controlled and cannot be improved,” emphasizes Yáñez.
IMPORTANCE OF DATA
GPS Chile technology allows us to obtain data in real time and the usefulness of this goes beyond the productivity of companies, since this data is not only the key to optimizing the dynamics of transportation within the city, but is also a relevant part on the path towards sustainability.
“The more efficiency there is in the distribution of goods, the greater productivity – that is, fewer trucks, less congestion, less fuel and a lower carbon footprint per product delivered. Likewise, the social cost is reduced, since today trucks occupy the same streets as people, which has an impact on daily travel and people’s safety,” explains Mario Yánez.
Along these same lines, GPS Chile was part of the UNAB Transportation and Logistics Center (CTL) project, called “Characterization of cargo transportation in cities”, whose objective was to develop a proposal through the integration of technologies that captured information from high precision of truck movement, identified their behavior and predicted their dynamics, allowing the development and support of the “smart city” concept.
In this regard, the general manager of GPS Chile points out: “Working collaboratively with the academic sector in the logistics field is a key strategy to promote innovation. Academia plays a fundamental role by providing an objective and unbiased view. Collaboration with academia allows us to combine theory and research, provides analytical depth and methodological rigor; and the private company contributes its practical experience accumulated over time, based on the daily management of its operations. By working together, academia and private companies develop innovative solutions that not only optimize processes and resources, but also have a positive impact on society.”
MAIN GPS CHILE SOLUTIONS
Among GPS Chile’s main solutions are:
Fleet Management and Control: Through satellite location thanks to GPS devices, it is possible to remotely transmit the geographical position, travel speed and direction, as well as information associated with peripherals (sensors, driving assistants and engine telemetry, among others). The information collected is stored and processed to make it available in real time to customers from different platforms.
Advanced Analytics: Consulting and development of customized solutions integrated with the client’s operational ecosystem, seeking to understand the specific needs and provide information that allows making strategic decisions, to make business more efficient and secure.
Solutions for the Security of People, Cargo and Assets:
Remote Monitoring Cameras and Videos: They allow the transmission of real-time videos of the position and route of the vehicles, with the aim of monitoring all operations and providing tools that facilitate the management, identification, registration and control of processes remotely.
Fatigue and Distraction Solution: It allows the behavior of the driver’s face to be scanned in real time, alerting about fatigue and distraction situations through alarms in the cabin and platform. The integrated information available on the platform allows plans to be implemented to reduce and prevent traffic accidents and reduce operational costs.
Safe Cut: Solution that allows you to activate the vehicle stop to avoid loss of loads and assets.
ADAS (Driver Assistance System): Through sensors, the vehicle environment is constantly monitored to prevent collisions and reduce the probability of accidents, improving the safety of the fleet and drivers.
GPS CHILE AND THE SYNERGY BETWEEN 5G AND IOT
The implementation of the 5G network, with its high speed and low latency, together with the exponential growth of devices connected through IoT, is revolutionizing the way companies manage and use data. The combination of 5G and IoT enables the transmission and processing of large amounts of data in real time, which is crucial for advanced analytics.
As a leader in the integration of advanced technologies, GPS Chile is at the forefront of implementing solutions that harness the power of 5G and IoT. Our fleet management platform and safety solutions, such as remote monitoring cameras and fatigue and distraction systems, are designed to take full advantage of these technologies, providing our customers with accurate, real-time information that improves efficiency and security of its operations.
“At GPS Chile, we understand that information is a strategic asset. By integrating technologies such as 5G and IoT into our solutions, we are helping companies transform their operations and prepare for the future of logistics,” concludes Mario Yáñez.
