BE | Fertilizer transport tracking & logging
In Belgium - by law - transport of fertilizer has to be tracked and logged with an agricultural institution operating in conjunction with the Flemish government in order to prevent over-fertilisation which can lead to pollution of groundwater. Since 2012 therefore, each vehicle used for fertilizer transport in Belgium has to be fitted with a AGR-GPS antenna system. AGR stands for ‘Automatische Gegevens Registratie’ or ‘Automatic Data Registration’.
As part of this system, The MioWORK™ F700/F740 is used as a control panel in the vehicle cab, where drivers use a bespoke application to input information about the transport from start to finish. This information is then automatically send to a government server in real-time using a unique user-id attached.
The F700/F740 is fitted in the vehicle using the in-vehicle cradle and a standard AMPS RAM® Mounts solution. Using the standard fleet cable in combination with a bespoke MiTAC fleet port cable to RJ45 adapter, the tablet is connected to vehicle power and ignition, whilst the RS232 Tx/Rx cradle interface is used for data transfer with a Maptex WMCS AM120 vehicle tracker. Acting as a modem, the AM120 is connected to the AGR-GPS antenna module and is also linked with an automatic trailer identification system. The modem is further fitted with GSM/GPRS connectivity, which is primarily used for data transfer to and from the government server, but can also be utilized for fleet tracking information for the business’ own back office.
Finally, the bespoke fleet cable adapter also offers input connectivity for a Dallas 1-wire driver identification system.
