Hazmat Transportation Security System with GPS Satellite Tracking Software Enhances Fleet Security and Operations for Midwest Industrial X-Ray
Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) November 7, 2006 -- Midwest Industrial X-Ray (MIX) has purchased Safefreight's security-enabled satellite vehicle tracking solution for their fleet of mobile dark room trucks that carry radioactive hazardous materials. Safefreight's GPS fleet tracking security system -- SmartFleet™ -- was installed on MIX's vehicles to fulfill the communications requirement under part 385.415 (c) of the Safety Fitness Procedures regulation administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Security Administration (FMCSA).
"MIX's mobile industrial x-ray units use gamma radiation to take detailed x-rays of metal structures. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducts regular inspections of our operations and were impressed with our Safefreight-equipped vehicles, which they described as unique," said Nikki Altringer, co-owner of Midwest Industrial X-Ray.
The Safefreight SmartFleet™ system installed by MIX includes diagnostic sensors to monitor the opening and closing of doors, and an alarm system that serves as a local deterrent. Pagers were also supplied to enable drivers with immediate alert capability.
In addition to security benefits, the SmartFleet™ system collects vehicle data such as real-time location and provides rule exception and notification such as speed and seatbelt violations through SmartFleet™, Safefreight's Internet application. "Our SmartFleet™ system provides the necessary set of tools to help MIX ensure they have the best system in place to support their fleet security and safety standards," said Jim Balestra, Chief Operating Officer of Safefreight Technology.
