Routeware Rtrac GPS System Adds Upgradeable, RFID-Ready Functionality For Today's Modern Garbage
Rtrac on-board system from Routeware is the perfect answer for waste haulers who need real-time vehicle tracking combined with RFID technology—and an upgrade path to full on-board computing. Rtrac is a flexible platform that offers an affordable entrée into fleet technology—and is an excellent companion for fleets already equipped with the Routeware system.
Beaverton, OR - Routeware, Inc., a leader in hardware and software solutions for the waste industry, recently announced the release of Rtrac, a new offering in its expanding line of on-board technology.
Rtrac is an entry-level product for waste haulers who want to see the location of their vehicles in real-time. It uses GPS to track vehicle location, speed, and heading and transmits that information back to the office in real-time. Employees can observe their fleet's position with mapping tools that include animated route playback and full breadcrumb trail visibility.
"Rtrac is an exciting new platform that enables haulers to right-size the deployment of technology to their budget," commented Robert DeKoning, President & CEO of Routeware. "Rtrac is an excellent addition to our family of powerful route, vehicle, and driver tools designed for today's modern hauler."
Rtrac is far more than a GPS system. The longitude and latitude of every front fork or sideloader arm movement is recorded. Haulers can geofence any area on a map and know when a truck enters or leaves the area. Rtrac is also RFID-ready, making it the perfect product for residential collection, cart delivery, service and repair vehicles, and more.
Rtrac is fully upgradeable and scalable to Rcore®, Routeware's tough, rugged on-board computer that tracks driver pick-up activity on a customer-by-customer basis. All of Rtrac's hardware and software is used when upgrading to Rcore, preserving a hauler's investment and dramatically shortening the learning curve of both drivers and staff. Fleets running a combination of Rtrac and Rcore have the ultimate flexibility of verifying route compliance, RFID automated service verification, and instant fleet location capability. "Our company was founded on a commitment to innovation that meets the challenges waste haulers face every day," DeKoning said. "Rtrac continues that tradition by delivering the flexibility, value, and return on investment haulers expect from everything they buy."
