DCLI Drives Fleet Efficiencies with BlackBerry Radar Deployment Across 100,000
Chassis
Innovative Asset Monitoring Technology Selected by U.S.'s Largest Container
Chassis Provider
WATERLOO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / BlackBerry Limited
(https://pr.report/an71) (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) today announced that Direct
ChassisLink, Inc. (https://pr.report/an72) ("DCLI"), the largest provider of
container chassis to the U.S. intermodal industry, will deploy BlackBerry®
Radar® (https://pr.report/an73) across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot
chassis. The rollout is part of a major initiative DCLI is undertaking to
enhance the quality, reliability, visibility and operational efficiency of its
fleet, with a view to setting a new freight industry standard for data driven
decision-making.
The deployment represents a deepening in the companies' technological
collaboration. DCLI has utilized Radar devices on a subset of its fleet for
over five years and after seeing the reliability and intelligence they
provide, decided to exponentially increase the number of its chassis deployed
with the solution while also recognizing Radar as a top tier supplier.
With the BlackBerry Radar asset monitoring solution, DCLI will gain
operational visibility, enabling its customers to optimize asset utilization
and deliver more streamlined operations. Thanks to the steady stream of near
real-time information Radar provides, DCLI will benefit from precise asset
tracking, advanced inventory insights, location-based alerts, and optimized
driver and terminal efficiency. Integrated sensors will streamline billing
processes and enhance fleet optimization, enabling real-time monitoring of
chassis to reduce delays and improve logistics planning.
The rollout of the technology also reinforces DCLI's commitment to fleet
safety and reliability by improving maintenance visibility and response times.
This includes preparedness for chassis requiring FMCSA inspections, optimized
maintenance scheduling, and enhanced responsiveness for road service - all
measures that help minimize downtime, assist with compliance, and help create
a safer operating environment for all stakeholders.
"At a time where the freight industry continues to grapple with driver
shortages, rising costs, and supply chain disruptions, the need for advanced
asset visibility with enhanced fleet management solutions has never been more
important," said Christopher Plaat, SVP and GM of BlackBerry Radar. "With the
deployment of Radar, DCLI is taking a vital step in its digital transformation
efforts. To that end, we're excited to demonstrate the countless data-driven
insights that can be unlocked when you have improved visibility into the
status of your chassis. We look forward to continually improving our platform
based on customer use cases and feedback."
"At DCLI, quality is a top priority, and this initiative reflects our
dedication to delivering exceptional value to our customers," said Lee Newitt,
chief executive officer at DCLI. "Equipping our entire DCL53 chassis fleet
with GPS technology is a testament to our ongoing mission to lead the
intermodal industry with innovative solutions and unparalleled fleet quality."
BlackBerry Radar is an easy-to-install, asset monitoring solution for chassis,
trailers, containers, and railcars, and provides near real-time information
around location, cargo load status, motion, mileage, temperature, humidity,
door open/close status, handbrake engaged status, and impact events through an
intuitive dashboard. A device-agnostic platform that provides customers with a
single pane of glass view for their asset management needs, with BlackBerry
Radar, all data is transmitted and stored securely on a cloud platform, which
maintains the privacy of user information at all times.
