Strapsense is revolutionising road safety in Australia with smart cargo monitoring technology that prevents load shifts, reduces environmental hazards, and enhances transport efficiency. By integrating advanced sensor systems with real-time driver alerts, Strapsense provides a proactive solution to unsecured loads, minimising the risk of cargo loss, vehicle rollovers, and dangerous spills.
Strapsense: Enhancing Road Safety with Smart Cargo Monitoring
Addressing Critical Challenges in the Transport Industry
Strapsense is at the forefront of tackling key challenges in the Australian transport sector, particularly in cargo safety and environmental protection. The company is committed to developing safety-critical products designed to mitigate real-world problems associated with lost cargo incidents, unsecured loads, and their environmental and human impact.
Strapsense aims to address multiple industry concerns, including:
Environmental Impact: Preventing chemical container spills and vehicle rollovers that result in hazardous leaks.
Safety and Health Risks: Reducing fatalities and injuries caused by unsecured loads, both for transport personnel and emergency responders.
Fuel Consumption Reduction: Minimising unnecessary fuel use required for emergency response operations.
Innovative Technology for Safer Roads
The Strapsense Buddy System is designed to combat cargo loss and ensure load security through advanced sensor technology. This system incorporates:
Smart Sensors: These sensors attach to tie-down straps and measure baseline tension setpoints with the use of strain gauges.
Real-Time Monitoring: The sensors monitor a baseline tension setpoint that the driver initiates. Once set, the sensors relay this information to an in-cab concentrator. If the readings fall outside the baseline by a pre-determined value, the driver receives an immediate alert, enabling a quick response to address the issue before a more serious problem occurs.
Battery and Connectivity Alerts: The concentrator notifies the driver if the battery is running low or if a sensor has fallen off and is out of range.
Further advancements are underway with the development of the Strapsense app, which will offer additional functionalities, such as historical data tracking, accurate battery level readings, AI-powered technical support, and customisable alert settings.
Future developments will be aimed toward using the app as the concentrator, when funding and technology allows for better range without interference.
