Closing The Loop

Specialists in electronic security sealing solutions for the supply chain Unisto Encrypta Products have upgraded their GateTrak™ gatehouse automation and yard management software, with the introduction of their new Gatesuite™ family of software. With its modular approach, the Gatesuite™ system can be expanded to suit different customer requirements. Used in conjunction with the Crypta® Data Tag RFID electronic seal, the new software leverages the networking capability of Microsoft’s Microsoft.NET Framework to link desktop PCs, PDAs and other handheld devices. The move to .NET will allow network system components to communicate using industry standard TCP/IP protocol. Realtime data communication has been combined with Crypta® RF technology to create a fully integrated solution that remotely verifies vehicles and loads, eliminating the need for driver or guard intervention. The result is a ‘closed loop’ that promises faster throughput with reduced risk of theft through collusion. Extended capabilities with the GateSuite™ system™ now also include remote 24 hour monitoring of loading bays and loaded trailers parked in the yard pending departure or unloading. Potential security breaches are detected as they occur and flagged via the network and where necessary through the Internet, making them instantly visible to all relevant personnel while storing events online for later review. Unisto Encrypta Products were the first company to apply electronics to create a costeffective reusable sealing solution universally suited to trailers, tankers or vans operating across a diverse range of distribution network types and climates. The company has since continued to develop its products to meet evolving customer needs and to exploit emerging technologies.
