Grote 4SEE
Trailer Innovation – Wired for Success
The new 4SEE Smart Trailer System from Grote Industries is a combination of hardware and software that is designed to enable fleets to optimize their safety, productivity, security, and cost savings. From asset tracking, vehicle health reports, improved operational efficiency, better driver safety, reduced delivery times, increased cargo security, maximized uptime, and lower Costs Per Mile, 4SEE can give you the information you need to optimize your fleet’s operations.
4SEE Highlights
Cameras
4SEE utilizes up to five cameras for an extra layer of safety and security, providing a view of the trailer’s surroundings and cargo. These cameras record continuously, securely saving their footage to the Smart Nose Box, where it can easily be retrieved if an incident occurs.
Smart Tail Lamps
4SEE’s Smart Tail Lamps enable lighting readings directly from the lamp itself. Multiple lamp health reports help to monitor lighting, while outage alerts are sent immediately when outages occur.
Wheel-End Readings
4SEE has the ability to detect unique wheel-end events, from unknown vibrations to axle and hub readings.
Cargo Sensing
Interior sensors can determine available trailer space and if there is cargo remaining in any trailers within the yard.
Proximity Sensing
Notifies the driver if a vehicle is in the blind spot of the trailer.
Telematics
Know your trailer’s location 24/7/365. Whether a trailer is tethered to a tractor or not, 4SEE gives you the ability to ping a trailer at any time. The Smart Nose Box is equipped with embedded telematics and a battery back-up for power when a tractor or shore-power is not nearby.
Smart Nose Box
The Grote Smart Nose Box is designed to integrate with future industry advances, such as connectivity upgrades with 5G-ready connections. The box is weatherproof, heat resistant, chemical tested, and rated for long customer use. An embedded batter allows for constant 12V power, even when not connected to a tractor.
Collected data is sent to the cloud, as well as the fleet owner’s app interface, through cellar data &/or Bluetooth. Acts as a “Black Box,” recording all activity.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
4SEE can detect leaks immediately and send an alert, all while continuing to monitor the health of a trailer’s tires.
User Application & Website
4SEE consolidates all recorded trailer and fleet sensor data in a user-friendly Mobile Application and Web Portal, ready to browse anytime.
