GREATER SECURITY LOCKS, indicator seals and locking bars simply do not work. They barely slow down thieves and hijackers. Security should be more difficult to defeat. In more than a year of test market use, not one shipment protected by InnerLoc has been stolen. Back to top THEFT PREVENTION InnerLoc mounts inside the door where thieves cannot even see it. So they can’t cut, pick, saw, or shoot the lock. They move on to easier targets. Back to top GREATER EASE OF USE Security cannot become so cumbersome that drivers fail to use it or try to bypass it. InnerLoc is as simple to use as the remote found on most passenger cars. Back to top COST EFFECTIVENESS InnerLoc is working with insurance companies to demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution. Insurers may lower rates for InnerLoc users the same way they have for users of systems like OnStar. Comparable rate reductions could quickly pay for the price of the system. So could the deductible on just one stolen shipment. InnerLoc customers have also found that they can bill their clients for the extra security like they would for any add-on service. Back to top GREATER TRACKABILITY Locks and seals do nothing to prevent hijacking. InnerLoc can lead authorities to hijacked cargo before it has been fenced. InnerLoc makes cargo visible in transit. Back to top REAL-TIME ALERTS An ideal solution would alert authorities to a theft in progress so they can arrest thieves before they escape with the cargo. Three InnerLoc models contain light-, heat, motion- and radiological sensors that signal the network if someone tries to tamper with cargo. Back to top GLOBAL COVERAGE Transportation is an international business in a global economy. Unlike systems that are based solely on cellular communications, InnerLoc offers a satellite system so even shipments in the middle of the ocean remain visible at all times. Back to top PORTABILITY When a container, boxcar or van reaches the end of its useful life, shippers should be able to reuse the security device on new equipment. InnerLoc can be moved from one piece of equipment to another with a socket wrench and a screwdriver. Back to top UNIVERSALITY Many transportation companies have mixed fleets. InnerLoc works with all types of cargo, especially chemical and LPG shipments, not just vans. This simplifies support and maximizes security. Back to top CARGO RECOVERY InnerLoc alert and tracking services can lead authorities directly to stolen cargo before it is fenced. Back to top DRIVER SAFETY If a truck is highjacked and veers off its intended course, or if a vehicle makes an unexpected stop, the network can know instantaneously. Police can be sent to help. Cargo can also be shipped so that drivers can’t open it. So it does the thief no good to threaten a driver. Doors can only be opened via satellite-, cell- or computer-signal when the shipment reaches its destination. Back to top PUBLIC
SAFETY Breaking and entering an InnerLoc-protected
cargo without detection is virtually impossible. This will
discourage the planting of explosives in cargo. Also, because
the system is so easy to use, drivers will. This should discourage
malicious mischief, i.e., the opening of a valve on a tanker
truck. FASTER THROUGH CUSTOMS Having a high degree of confidence that cargo has not been opened or tampered with will be key to setting up green lanes at customs’ checkpoints. If a shipment has NOT been opened, it can be waived through customs, allowing officials to focus on higher risk cargo. Back to top UPGRADEABILITY Upgrading
from one level of InnerLoc protection to another can be as simple
as calling your account rep. Most upgrades are as simple as turning
on a software “switch” via satellite signal. You can
activate services to match your cargo. Pay only for what you need
as you use it. EASY TO USE InnerLoc, in most cases, uses a remote very similar to those used for passenger vehicles. Locking the cargo, activating the sensors, and initiating tracking can be as simple as pushing one button. Back to top |
