Oversight Online Dashboard

• The Oversight system gives you instant, online access to the data from any or all vehicles. Maps, graphs and reports are at your fingertips.
• As shipments travel down the road, the cloud-based Oversight dashboard gives easy, online access to current maps, graphs and charts of key shipments, including temperature, security, and location details.
• Access is controlled by a userID and password. It’s also easy to share shipment data with a partner by simply assigning a user ID and password to that partner. Intelligent Alerts are text and email messages that get the right information to the right people at the right time. The Oversight system filters the information based on business rules established by each customer using the Oversight dashboard. If a rule is violated, such as upper and lower temperature limits, a text and email Intelligent Alert messages are sent automatically.

Device Placement Scenarios

The form factor of the GO Real-Time 4G/5G Tracker promotes its use in a variety of scenarios including at the pallet, carton and product level.
Pallet Level – Many customers apply trackers to the side of a pallet. Emerson provides signage and clear plastic pouching to facilitate locating labels on pallets at the receiving end as depicted in the photo to the right. Many customers place several trackers on different pallets within a load to perform temperature monitoring. This promotes broader sampling and provides more detailed information on the temperature fluctuations experienced within a container. Placement – The devices are like disposable cell phones with a thermometer. They cannot be placed inside of a pallet or carton because that will block the cell signal. We recommend placing the GO Real-Time 4G/5G Tracker products on the outside of the pallet closest to the back doors. If the shipment has multiple drops place unit on the top of the pallet of the last drop or inside wall of the trailer closest to the back doors. We do not recommend placing devices on the side of a pallet between pallets because that can also cause the signal to be blocked.

Troubleshooting and FAQ’s

• Q: Does a lack of LED light on the unit mean it is not working?
  A: No, this is normal functionality. Simply check if your unit is reporting in Oversight. Located on the homepage, enter the 10-digit serial number into the “Track your shipment” field.

• Q: What does a solid blue light mean on the tracker?
  A: A solid blue light indicates there is no cell signal at the spot of activation, but the unit is still good to use. We recommend waiting 20-30 minutes before using unit. Also, check to see if the unit is reporting in Oversight by simply enter the 10-digit serial number into the “Track your shipment” field on our homepage.

• Q: How do I activate GO Real-Time 4G/5G Trackers?
  A: Please make sure that you are using a unit that is current and not expired. The expiration date can be found on the box. Once the tab has been pulled on the unit, verify that a blue light is observed. If a red light is observed, please set the unit aside and contact CargoSupport@Emerson.com. If a solid blue light is observed, it means the device is out of network range and is trying to communicate with the surrounding cell towers. Take your device outside of the building / warehouse for 20-30 minutes and verify that it has reported in the Oversight dashboard.

• Q: How does the GO Real-Time 4G/5G Tracker report its data?
  A: Trackers measures ambient temperature and communicates through cellular triangulation, without GPS. The unit would need to have good coverage to send the information in real-time.

• Q: What if I need to return my unit?
  A: If you have been informed that it is necessary to return your device(s) to our facility for analysis, we will provide you with all the required documents for the return along with instructions. We will notify you once your devices have arrived at our facility. Once the analysis is completed by our Engineering team, your Account Manager will provide the results. These results will take approximately 10-15 days from the time the unit arrives. You can contact your Account Manager by phone at +1-877-998-7299 or by email at CargoAccountManagement@Emerson.com.

• Q: Does the unit report during an ocean shipment?
  A: If the load where your unit is placed is on an air or ocean shipment, keep in mind that during its transit it is normal to lose communication with cell towers. Your device will continue reading and recording all the information of your load in order to send it to Oversight, once communication with cell towers is achieved.

• How can we add additional users in Oversight?
  A: Our Technical Support and Account Management team can add any additional users for Oversight. Simply provide the first and last name of the new user along with the email address

• Can I be setup with only temperature associated alerts?

• Q: What kind of data is reported in Oversight?
  A: The data reports: Temperature, Location, Time, Humidity and Light. Once your device has been successfully activated and programmed with the trip information, proceed to Oversight to observe the data.

• Q: Why am I not able to observe any shipment information in Oversight?
  A: Follow these steps:

  • Wait about 20-30 minutes after your device has been activated, since this is the average amount of time it takes for the unit to connect to the cell towers for the first time.
  • Verify that the department in charge of activating the devices has done so correctly and if possible, request photos as proof.
  • Make sure that the device has been placed correctly on the load. Remember that proper placement is on top of the last pallet closest to the doors. Avoid placing the unit in between pallets or inside product. Also, if you need to place a thermal blanket or something similar, remember that the device would go outside of it.

• Who do I contact if I am still having problems with Oversight?
  A: If all of the above has been verified and the load where your unit is placed is an over-the-road shipment, please contact your Account Manager or our Support team to investigate. Please have the following information available:

  • 10-digit Serial Number(s) of your unit(s)
  • Placement on the shipment, origin and destination locations of your load
  • Location of activation
  • Approximate arrival and departure date
