The Security of The Goods Through the Global Positioning System (GPS): Description and Application

Today, security is a very important issue for the global economy, especially in freight transport companies, due to the impact that crime has had lately, and that has led to initiatives to increase security in the chain of supply, especially during the physical movement of the merchandise, taking measures and control actions to increase the effectiveness and effectiveness of the security guidelines, measures that allow them to provide a safe and competitive service. That is why the present research work has the purpose of designing a location and tracking system for transport units for security through GPRS / GSM technologies, the information analyzed to determine the types of goods, the characteristics of the system, was through a field of investigation within the company ZEEK, a branch located in the Municipality of Santa Ana Chiautempan, Tlaxcala, Mexico. In order to determine the type of companies that prefer technologies and invest in equipment, this is done through a Pareto analysis. The feasibility of applying a location and security system has several functions, for example, it helps us in the event of an unwanted event such as door opening, shock or the variation of the load temperature, it increasingly becomes a You need to know the exact location, either for security in case of theft or for control and monitoring, giving it an added value with the implementation of a mobile application that shows the exact location in real time. It was also possible to obtain results through the customers´ information who have the GPS system. During the analysis of the investigation I concluded that it is feasible and necessary to implement a security system based on the need for the care of the goods and thus also safeguard the integrity of the users.
