Docomap Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kazuhiro Urashima, hereinafter Docomap Japan) announces that it will newly introduce and start offering the GPS terminals "GT 1220*1" and "CT 1000*2" manufactured by global IoT solution provider ORBCOMM as compatible terminals for Docomap Japan's "docomapTrailer*3" through ORBCOMM Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Sunil Sharma, hereinafter ORBCOMM Japan).
In recent years, against the backdrop of promoting DX and strengthening legal regulations in the logistics industry, there is a demand to build a more advanced and stable vehicle dynamic management system. In particular, there is a growing need for continuous and stable acquisition of location information even for moving objects and assets where the power supply environment is limited, such as trailers, chassis, and containers.
The newly adopted "GT 1220" and "CT 1000" are communication-type GPS terminals designed primarily for installation on the outside of vehicles. Because they generate power directly via solar panels, they do not require an external power source and are ideal devices for installation on trailers and containers where power cannot be secured.
By continuously acquiring and visualizing vehicle location information, it is possible to accurately grasp operating status and parking locations, contributing to improved utilization rates and reduced empty mileage. Furthermore, it supports improved profitability through operational improvements based on data.
The GT 1220 can acquire location information every 15 minutes, and the CT 1000 every hour, making it possible to grasp the vehicle's movement status and parking location.
*The acquisition interval changes depending on the driving conditions.
The acquired location information is visualized on the dynamic management service "DoCoMAP*4" provided by Docomap Japan, supporting efficient management.
Docomap Japan will continue to strive to improve service value and contribute to the optimization of dynamic management and the promotion of DX in the logistics and transportation industries.
### Main Features
- Independent power supply design using solar panels
Designed to generate power directly from solar panels, it can be installed on trailers and containers that do not have a power supply. With a design premised on long-term operation, it contributes to maximizing asset value while reducing maintenance load.
- Location information acquisition via motion detection
While the vehicle is moving, the GT 1220 acquires location information every 15 minutes and the CT 1000 every hour, helping to grasp the movement status and operational availability of the trailer.
*The acquisition interval changes depending on the driving conditions.
- Compatible with the basic functions of "DoCoMAP"
The acquired location information can be checked in real-time on the dynamic management service "DoCoMAP" provided by Docomap Japan, supporting improved operational efficiency and strengthened management systems.
*1: What is GT 1220?
The GT 1220 is a remote monitoring device with a built-in solar panel provided by ORBCOMM. It allows for long-term operation without requiring an external power source and is designed to be maintenance-free for 10 years. Position by GPS
