Through knowledge of the location of assets/personnel at any point in time, the process flow of one’s business can be greatly optimised. Tracking consists of more than just merely knowing the location of an asset; it can be used to monitor certain areas, creating alarms/events on certain conditions (low inventory levels, assets leaving specific area), managing personnel, etc. Tracking solutions can be implemented using either active/passive solutions, or a combination of both.
MST’s Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP) is a cost effective step to improve asset management and productivity.

The VIP unit also enables proximity detection by being able to read tags carried by people.
