Satellite


GEOTrac’s most reliable satellite fleet management product, GEOVision-Satellite, is ideal for providing connectivity to the most remote areas in the world. GEOVision- has more than 66 satellites traveling at 27,500 km/h, orbiting the earth every 100 minutes. At an altitude of 800 km above the earth, GEOVision-Satellite provides both GPS and two-way communication. This low-earth orbit satellite service is ideal for those working in the northern hemisphere. GEOVision-Satellite has a north to south orbit which provides abundant coverage for the oil and gas, mining or forestry industries.

Unlike geosynchronous satellites that are parked above the equator, GEOVision-Satellite does not have line-of-sight issues. The low-earth-satellite passes overhead providing your remote workers and fleets reliable service especially important for GEOTrac’s Lifeline Safety Service


Cellular


GEOTrac’s delivers the power of high-speed Internet right to the truck. This -cost, high bandwidth service is ideal for capturing field data and delivering it in real-time to your central office. GEOVision-Cellular will easily deliver in real-time, field data that is captured from oil and gas batteries, pipelines and facilities.

Many companies deal with inaccurate and late job tickets returning from the field. Now with GEOVision-Cellular, field workers can enter or capture data from the field and send it to the central office. Companies with enterprise resource planning software (ERP) can import data directly from the field without manually re-entering the data.

GEOVision-Cellular can be connected directly to a laptop in the truck for those heavy duty applications. In-vehicle mapping is now available through GEOTrac’s Asset Control Center 3.5. Use your Internet browser to view your entire fleet right from the field.

Of course GEOVision-Cellular and GEOVision-Satellite have complete GPS track and trace capabilities. Fleet management reports for location-based information is available through the Asset Control Center 3.5 


Asset Control Centre 3.5

GEOTrac’s core software  application is the web-based Asset Control Cen

ter 3.5. Secured with login and password, companies have the most powerful fleet management software at their fingertips. The Asset Control Center showcases the most detailed and interactive mapping application for the oil and gas, mining, construction and forestry industries. Complete with millions of private lease roads and a searchable LSD grid, Point2It 4.0 provides a multi-level detail road map.

The Asset Control Center 3.5 combines the detail of Point2It 4.0 with the GEOTrac Messaging Center. Dispatchers can easily pinpoint a vehicle or branch of vehicles and send a dispatch or message directly to the vehicle, even when out of cellular range. Quick View provides dispatchers, safety managers or operation managers the status of active trucks for dispatch or sending a message.

GEOFencing by LSD, marker, or location is standard with the Asset Control Center 3.5. Unique to GEOTrac is the ability to GEOFence to road segment. Now dispatchers can be notified when a vehicle crosses the virtual permitter road segment by road segment. This is important on private lease roads when speeding can jeopardize a service contract.

Reporting Service is a very important part of the Asset Control Center 3.5. Companies can view, assess and integrate location-based information that is critical for business decisions. Fleet utilization, fuel consumption, speeding infractions, fuel tax rebates, preventative maintenance, emergency response are all available with GEOTrac’s reporting service. Beyond knowing where the vehicles are or have been, operators can determine operation time or distance on any vehicle in the fleet.


Personal Safety Monitor


GEOTrac sets the standard for lifeline services to remote
field workers. The Personal Safety Monitor is a light-weight and rugged pendant that hangs around the neck or clips to the waist. While a worker is away from their vehicle, they have the peace of mind that a simple touch of a button will call for emergency services. If the worker is rendered immobilized, the Personal Safety Monitor has a motion sensor that will automatically send a distress message through the wireless network and call for emergency response.

Using SMART technology, the Personal Safety Monitor has auto-ranging that will notify the worker when they are about to exceed the up to 500 meter boundary. Once the pendant is activated, it will even acknowledge to the worker that the message has been sent.

Ideal for situations in the oil and gas industry such as H2S (sour gas) areas, the Personal Safety Monitor is certified for Class 1 Div 1 equivalency.  Combined with GEOVision, safety managers or dispatchers can deploy with pinpoint accuracy the nearest resources from their fleet or emergency response.

GEOTrac’s Asset Control Center 3.5 enables safety managers to forward distress messages from the Personal Safety Monitor to an email address, SMS enabled phone or a mobile data terminal in another vehicle.


Out of Truck Notification


Unique to GEOTrac, Out of Truck Notification is a timer-based lifeline service that enables remote workers to safely leave their vehicle while working on site. Connected to GEOVision, a mobile data terminal can be quickly programmed by the

driver to monitor the time a driver expects to be away.

Once the count down has been activated in the vehicle, a back up timer is also activated at a remote GEOTrac server offsite. If an incident occurs on site, the remote server will continue to count down.

As the timer is about to expire, an extremely loud siren which is connected to the GEOVision modem, notifies the worker that their working session is about to expire unless the timer is reset. If the worker does not return in time, the siren will alert the worker it has sent a distress message through the wireless network to the safety manager.

The distress message can also be forwarded to additional resources as back up such as  an area manager, 24 hr call center or direct to emergency response services.

The Out of Truck Notification lifeline service is a two-way service. If a safety manager needs to reach a remote worker outside of cellular range, the safety manager can activate the vehicle’s siren notifying the driver to return to the vehicle for a message.
