TACinsight created the software for loading information that also provides analytics on the time each truck arrives, and tracks it from loading time through ticketing and out the gate. The Palm Beach Aggregates operation uses a cloud-based mobile application platform that works on Android. In addi- tion, TAC provides quarry and truck analytics operating on web, Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Palm Beach Aggregates has already seen immediate pay- back from the system. "We have caught several drivers who pulled up to be load- ed with the wrong material and the loader operator was immediately aware of the mistake," said Albert Moraques, project manager at Palm Beach Aggregates. "In addition, the amount of material being spoiled due to overloading has been cut by 75 percent," he said. The Bluetooth Low Energy beacons from GeLo produce in- stant wireless information to devices including cell phones and tablets without WiFi or satellite connection. "TACInsight was looking for an alternative to RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology and found that GeLo's Instant information on correct loads is triggered to load operators with onboard screens.
