Trucks in China connected to G7’s fleet-management network do more than just haul goods across the vast nation.
Using Internet of Things technology, they can employ anti-fatigue cameras to call out bad driving, built-in advanced driver-assistance systems to send warnings about insufficient space between vehicles on highways, and real-time cargo weighing to prevent stealing.
Beijing-based G7 aims to monitor all steps along a product’s logistics journey, from warehouse to delivery, remotely. COVID-19, which has seen a jump in online shopping as people stay home and avoid crowds, has presented an added opportunity, with customers including FedEx Corp., Amazon.com Inc., China Post and Walmart Inc. more focused than ever on security and tracing, according to G7 founder Zhai Xuehun.
