Drivers of milk delivery vans who take a quick nap while on work or deviate from their route will soon have technology keeping track of them. In a pilot project, the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation Limited or Aavin, is trying out the efficacy of Global Positioning System (GPS) in their delivery vehicles.
The technology will help authorities keep track of the exact location of the milk distribution vans and the time at which they deliver milk. The official said this would also help the authorities to immediately attend to any breakdown of the vehicles and if need be, replace them to ensure that milk is transported to the various destinations on time. Most of the vans operate at night and have to deliver the milk at the designated time at every distribution point. In case, there is some disruption to the vehicle, all the points of distribution need to be alerted.
