 Information is key to any operation, and this is perhaps especially true in today's fast moving world of merchant shipping. In order to maximize operations and ultimately profit, it is paramount for any ship owner/operator to constantly know where and how large number assets are operating at any given time.
LocPoint now brings this capability and much more to any user of Thrane & Thrane Inmarsat C or mini-C transceivers. Furthermore this service is free of charge.
With basic asset tracking functions as well as advanced functions LocPoint now allows you to take full advantage of the wide range of capabilities offered by the Thrane & Thrane hardware platform.
The intuitive user-friendly interface is build up around a navigation tree sublimated by large icon buttons. This allows the user to quickly navigate through the system to find the required data. LocPoint also offers a high level of customization allowing the end user easily to tailor the system to specific needs. Assets and waypoints can be arranged in an unlimited amount of groups, commands can be defined from a wide range of parameters, and zones can be set up in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Key LocPoint Functions:
Zone
This function allows you to set up "geofences" directly in the transceiver, thereby reciving notification whenever a preset parameter or boundary is exceeded. This has seen wide use in vessel monitoring systems (VMS), but perhaps most prominently as a tool to enhance delivery notification. LocPoint can notify for instance freight forwarders or harbour personel via e-mail, SMS or fax.
Safety
The increased word wide focus on maritime safety has also prompted a greater need for asset tracking and thogether with the SSAS capabilities of the TT-3000SSAS or TT3000E/B LocPoint provides an effective safety suite. LocPoint can in this scenario act as a SSAS message relay system, so that the number of alert recipients is now unlimited, and can be carried via e-mail, SMS or fax. Th system can furthermore also be used to change the SSAS flag state address. This is highly useful when re-flagging a vessel, eliminating the need for on board transceiver alterations.
E-mail
With the new build in E-mail client a new level of communication is brought into vessel operations. Every vessel is simply given an "inbox" in LocPoint and can communicate wiht shore b ased system via easyMail. Incoming vessel e-mails are simply shown with an icon on the map next to the vessel, and are subsequently shown in the vessel inbox. This can be especially helpful when for instance communication ETA messages or bunker levels from the vessel. This meand that LocPoint becomes a one stop information gateway for vessel operatios.
