DCLI enhances fleet with BlackBerry Radar technology

WATERLOO, ON - Direct ChassisLink Inc. (DCLI), the leading container chassis provider in the United States, has expanded its technological partnership with BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), integrating BlackBerry Radar across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot chassis. This move is aimed at improving the quality, reliability, visibility, and operational efficiency of DCLI’s fleet.

DCLI has been using BlackBerry Radar on a portion of its fleet for over five years and has decided to scale up its deployment after witnessing the benefits of the technology. The advanced asset monitoring solution will provide DCLI with near real-time operational visibility, which is expected to optimize asset utilization and streamline operations for its customers.

The BlackBerry Radar system offers a suite of features including precise asset tracking, advanced inventory insights, location-based alerts, and improved driver and terminal efficiency. It also includes integrated sensors to streamline billing processes and enhance fleet optimization. This technology will allow DCLI to monitor its chassis fleet in real-time, reducing delays and improving logistics planning.

Moreover, the deployment underscores DCLI’s commitment to fleet safety and reliability by enhancing maintenance visibility and response times, aiding in compliance, and creating a safer operating environment.

Christopher Plaat, SVP and GM of BlackBerry Radar, highlighted the importance of advanced asset visibility and fleet management solutions, especially given the current challenges in the freight industry such as driver shortages, rising costs, and supply chain disruptions. Lee Newitt, CEO of DCLI, emphasized the company’s dedication to leading the intermodal industry with innovative solutions and unparalleled fleet quality.

BlackBerry Radar is a device-agnostic platform that provides customers with a comprehensive view of their asset management needs. All data is transmitted and stored securely on a cloud platform, ensuring user privacy.

This initiative is part of DCLI’s ongoing mission to be the intermodal industry’s chassis partner of choice, leveraging technology to transform the intermodal supply chain. The information for this article is based on a press release statement.
