CHICAGO, IL. – Recently  Samsara announced the  Samsara Connected Operations Award  , where for the first time a Mexican company was awarded, a distinction that went to Trayecto (número 1 del Top 100 del Autotransporte®)  in the category of Patrimonial Security.

Within the framework of Samsara’s Beyond 2024 , Carlos Arias, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Trayecto described the results they have had, but also said that they are focused on achieving a scenario of perfection with zero accidents and zero theft.

At the Samsara Connected Operations Award, Trayecto achieved results of a 90% asset recovery rate for stolen units, while achieving an 83% reduction in recovery time.

Arias said that through artificial intelligence the focus is to maintain the sense of prevention, which is aligned with its objective of zero accidents and zero thefts; although he did not fail to highlight the results in property and road safety, as well as the reaction times from the incorporation of various solutions such as dash cameras, telematics, immobilizers, asset tracking and panic buttons.

In this same context, Sanjit Biswas, CEO and founder of Samsara, described during Beyond 2024 that one of the biggest challenges they have is to achieve greater efficiency and productivity in connected operations and where in motor transportation the fact of offering greater safety stands out, but also fuel efficiency. “The entire Samsara platform is focused on security and real efficiency of financial results,” he considered.

Although Carlos Arias highlighted the infrastructure that Trayecto has with more than five thousand tractor-trailers and more than 11 thousand trailers, the benefits that arise in accidents and thefts have an effect on the operator and its stakeholders, including its more than eight thousand 500 collaborators.

Over the years and the growing demand for quality logistics and transportation services, companies have observed that the digitalization of processes helps them offer increasingly efficient services with a consequent reduction in operating costs and an increase in asset security. and road . The adoption and integration of digital technologies and advanced tools at all stages of the supply chain and fleet management are the natural step to continue competing in an increasingly demanding market.

Based on the principle that technology is an instrument for continuous improvement, Solistica integrated tools from an early age that have helped it eliminate deviations in its operation, as Carlos Alberto Lembo, head of risk management for Solistica, shared with T21.

“Something you don’t measure, you can’t control and what you don’t control you can’t improve. For this reason, in the company we have indicators to begin to control what happens with our units and with the operators, especially to take care of both safety and security risks,” said Lembo.

The company representative stressed that in recent years the transportation of goods and merchandise has experienced a significant increase in the crime of theft, “unfortunately crime goes one step beyond technology, it has become a race against theft , so Solistica has always sought best practices, partnering with technology providers that are capable of meeting our needs, such is the case of Motum , which at our request developed an automatic engine stop that works with geofences,” said Lembo.

This solution, combined with the incorporation of door opening sensors, backup GPS and locks to prevent the boxes from being unhooked, allowed Solistica to significantly reduce theft events that often ended in the loss of merchandise and property. unit. To date, the company averages 10 events a year, of which 50% have been frustrated due to the implementation of technology.

“We understood that if the vehicle and the operator are not protected in the first 60 seconds of the criminal act, the probability of successful recovery is zero percent. But the most important thing is that the vehicle is capable of activating automatically when a risk situation arises,” said the head of risk management for Solistica.

The risk management specialist explained that, although so far Solistica has found the formula to significantly reduce thefts and reinforce road safety, there is always room for improvement , which is why in coordination with Motum they are developing geofences with speed and cutting. accelerator that seeks to prevent road accidents. “At Solistica we seek to ensure that technology always works in favor of the operator to safeguard his integrity,” said Lembo.

Another area that Solistica has reinforced with Motum technology is the telemetry of the units to attend to preventive and corrective maintenance. “We need our trucks to be running in the best conditions and not to be stopped due to a failure. The moment a truck goes out onto the street, visibility is lost and only technology can help us know what is happening with the units ,” stated the manager.

Finally, the risk management specialist shared that to achieve efficient operations it is necessary to record what happens in the fleets. “To improve, it is crucial that companies have indicators, that they are not afraid to say if I was robbed or if I had an accident, because no one is immune, the important thing is to recognize that you have a problem, then attack it with the technologies that they are within reach and partner with a supplier that understands their needs and is capable of accompanying them at all times,” he stated.
