Penske picks Fluensee to track their trucks and trailers

Monday, August 31, 2009

Fluensee, a provider of RFID-enabled asset management and supply chain solutions, has announced that their Fluensee Yard solution will be picked up by Penske Logistics to provide real-time visibility to company trucks and trailers.

The Fluensee Yard solution combines RFID and GPS technology to provide Penske with real-time updates about the location, status and condition of company trucks and trailers at their Garland, Texas facility.


According to Fluensee, yard management solutions help reduce inbound and outbound trailer bottlenecks and allow companies to build effective yard plans, enhance their operating procedures and streamline their operations.

With Fluensee’s Yard solution, Penske will have full visibility of their assets from the time a vehicle approaches the inbound gate, to the movement of trailers within the yard, to the dock activity, and finally to the time a vehicle leaves through the outbound gate.

Fluensee claims this kind of visibility will yield several benefits, including the ability to dynamically assign trailers to dock doors, as well as the ability to quickly assign yard employees new tasks based upon changing conditions. [end]
