Managing logistics industry is not a simple task that can be done just with the help of man power and machines. There are some more things required apart from the regular kind of stuff that are required for management. One of the most important things that the logistic industry needs to make use of is the web tracking system of the vehicles that they are using. The process of web tracking system very often makes use of the widely available GPS positioning system to determine the position of the vehicle and how it is approaching the destination within the time frame that has been specified. As the speed of the vehicle can be easily tracked with the help of the software, it is now very easy for the logistics industry to make sure of the fact that they can able to be to track their vehicles in the middle. In case when there is any problem with the vehicle in the middle, it is now very easy for the logistics management to plan for alternate vehicle for pickup within a short span of time. When all the vehicles are connected to the tracking system, multiple pickup vehicles can be planned depending on the nearest proximity of the vehicles that are approaching the vehicle that are approaching the place where pickup is necessary. Logistics management can be very sure about the fact that they can able to accurately determine the time of arrival of the vehicles and ensure that they have the right timing for planning resources and space for the vehicle in their warehousing facility.

Time management and fleet deployment

One of the serious issues that are faced by most of the logistics industry today is that they are not able to manage the long distance transit in a proper manner. As there will be different vehicles from different destinations need to be merged at some common meeting point, it was once a great problem for the logistics industry to know the timing at which the vehicles are arriving. Now with the help of automatic vehicle locator, there is no need for the industry people to get concerned about anything. They will be getting continuous data about the vehicles that are arriving at the location. Archival of the data can be done effectively with the help of software. Because of this, it is now very easy for the planning team to get the vehicles on time and to plan for the alternates in case when the delay is high in reaching the vehicles at time. Data can be easily downloaded in the form of reports which will be very handy for people to use it for the purpose of planning.

Application of GPS fuel monitoring system shall enable the fleet management company has a better view of vehicle fuel costs consumed by the fleet, avoid fuel thefts, and reduce fuel costs.


Fuel costs can amount up to one-third of all line operating costs. Having an accurate energy monitoring and control system is one of the main ways to cut operating costs and increase effectiveness.


GPS tracking systems now have a sizable impact to fleet control or private needs, seeing that it is able to assist decrease a gasoline consumption, view vehicle status etc. With help of gps tracking software, gps with fuel monitoring device and fuel level sensor, it is possible to check fuel amount used during travel, left in tank, fuel theft or fuel leak every time you want it.


As well, driver’s behavior: speedy acceleration, harsh braking and over speed driving, place direct impact on gasoline consumption, which means driving behavior must be well controlled. Furthermore, fuel monitoring sensor can effectively prevent driver fraud in a fleet management.


What is gps fuel monitoringcomposed of?

Fuel consumption monitoring system is composed of 3 parts: GPS tracking device, fuel monitoring sensor and fleet management center.


GPS Tracking Device

GPS tracking device is a location tracking and reporting device, installed on vehicle and update position information to fleet management center. A GPRS enabled SIM card is inserted into it to enable communication via SMS and GPRS.


Fuel monitoring sensor

Fuel monitoring sensor is a kind of sensor to measure fuel or liquid level height and send the height data to GPS tracker. There are mainly 2 types of fuel level sensor in type of installation method-ultrasonic fuel sensor and fuel probe.


Ultrasonic level sensor offers noncontact installation without damaging the oil box. Vice versa, to install fuel probe, the tank must be tampered to open a proper hole for sensor going into the tank.


With fuel amount changes, the sensor shall detect changes in the output signal, either RS232 or RS485 or Analog voltage, which will be collected by GPS tracker and transferred to fleet management software.


Fleet management center

Fleet management center is a cloud based real time tracking software to collect data sent by GPS tracker and display the collected details in a user friendly format. Normally gps tracking hardware supplier shall provide admin login for buyers to monitor their own fleets and mange their own customers.
