ARGOS APPLICATIONS
TRACKING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
ACCES TO DATA		  

 
  An ArgoTrans package comes standard with two data access possibilities:
  • through the WEB with the Argos Data WEB
  • through E-mail with ADS E-Mail.
    Should you want to use raw Argos data with your own Transport Management System, other methods are also available to recover positions.


    •  
      THE ADW (Argos Data Web)

      The ADW is the most convenient way to see the positions of containers and read data transmitted through Argos. The only requirement is to have a computer with a WEB browser and Internet access. The ADW gives you access to 10 days of data.

    The ADW has three main features:
         
      1 - It displays on a map the positions of your containers. Of course you can zoom in and out and pan the map.

    		2 - The second feature, is the ability to see in a table important sensor data like temperature, refrigeration engine status, etc 3 - This table can be downloaded directly on your computer in a format that is instantly accessible with software like MS Excel.

      ADS E-Mail

      ADS (Automatic Distribution Service) is the second data access method that is offered with all ArgoTrans packages. ADS automatically delivers to one E-Mail address the latest Argos data available. Just give us your E-Mail address (like john.doe@mycompany.com) a time of the day (8:30AM) and by that time, you'll find in your mailbox all data for your containers.

    For detailed E-mails formats, you can check our ADS E-Mail pages for Argotrans
