Penske Logistics to Install Wireless Terminals in
4,000-Vehicle Fleet
Penske Logistics will start a roll out of smart wireless terminals to
its 4,000-vehicle fleet starting in September of this year The terminals are
intended to help the company quickly capture and send critical
delivery information to customers and manage driver routes and
performance more effectively. The terminals effectively turn the cab
of each truck into the hub of a miniature wireless LAN. The system
communicates with handheld terminals equipped with bar-code scanners
that truck drivers can use to record shipment information as they
load or unload their trucks. The shipment information is then stored
in the terminal, which runs on Windows CE.
