SkyBitz has released Kuantum as its next-generation trailer telematics platform. Kuantum replaces SkyBitz’s GXT5002C trailer telematics solution

Kuantum devices have an integrated ultrasonic cargo sensor, harness solar energy to recharge an internal battery, and use a power management system to deliver high frequency, event-driven reporting of trailer locations and empty/loaded status.

The ruggedized hardware is compact and engineered to deliver maintenance-free service for the life of a trailer.

According to SkyBitz officials, Kuantum allows fleets with mixed assets to optimize their dry vans and intermodal containers by:

  • Turning assets faster.

  • Detecting misuse of assets by customers and other third parties.

  • Decreasing reliance on customer notifications to schedule pickups.

  • Automating yard checks and other manual tasks.

  •  Verifying detention events with arrival, load/unload, and departure data

SkyBitz Kuantum is Bluetooth-enabled and operates on the 4G LTE Network with 5G compatibility. The device mounts on the front of a trailer and functions as a single gateway to support multiple wireless sensors in the SkyBitz SmartTrailer ecosystem.

Kuantum has configurable reporting options and over-the-air programmable capabilities.

The SkyBitz Insight web portal delivers a single dashboard that unifies management of mixed trailer assets and provides instant visibility of trailer and cargo status from data captured by Kuantum and other SkyBitz devices. Through APIs, all data in the SkyBitz Insight web portal is available for real-time integration with transportation management systems.
