Blue Ink Technology (BIT) added the BIT dashcam to its fleet management platform.

The dashcam is the latest in Blue Ink Technology’s lineup of real-time telematics tools.

“We anticipated the need for an all-in-one platform with a connected dashcam,” says Mike Riegel, operations manager at Blue Ink Technology. “So many carriers are using multiple systems that require drivers and office staff to use a dozen different apps. With one system capable of providing dashcam footage, harsh driving alerts, vehicle weight readings, GPS location and ELD data back to the office in real time, everyone’s job becomes significantly easier.”

The BIT dashcam will automatically connect to BIT air scale sensors to make gross and axle weight data available to fleet managers in real time. The dashcam’s built-in cellular modem allows data to be sent to the cloud without driver intervention, providing visibility across a fleet.

“It’s no secret that data is going to make trucking more efficient in the long term,” Riegel says. “One of the areas we’re excited to have an impact on with our new dash camera is around truck scaling and weights. Remote access to what is on their trucks in real time helps companies maximize loads without getting overloaded or risking DOT fines, which directly increases revenue. This scaling problem has gone largely unaddressed in the industry for decades.”
