Asset and Equipment Tracking Solutions
ASSET AND FACILITY MONITORING FOR WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS OPERATIONSCompanies specializing in warehousing and logistics house and transport tens of millions of dollars worth of inventory ever year. Depending upon the types of inventory they store and ship, it can be necessary to track the location of individual items, pallets of items, and the vehicles and equipment used throughout their facilities and out on the road. Being able to remotely track all these assets is key to reducing theft and ensuring timely delivery.
Business Needs
Real-Time Item and Vehicle Location
When a single box can house a piece a equipment worth thousands of dollars it becomes necessary to know where that box is from the moment it arrives at your facility. More than needing to know where it’s located, facility managers need to know if if it’s not where it’s suppose to be, when it’s suppose to be there. Similarly, they need to know the location of expensive equipment employees use to perform their jobs including small portable pieces of equipment like tablets, laptops, and scanners, as well as larger pieces of equipment like fork lifts and transport vehicles.
Solution Overview
Cradlepoint Routers and Poynting Antennas
Cellular solutions from USAT allow managers to track the movements of merchandise and equipment to ensure that no assets are lost. Using geofencing and real-time automatic movement alerts, logistics managers will no longer need to deal with misplaced or stolen inventory and machinery again. Businesses can reduce the need to continuously write off lost assets by combining Cradlepoint IBR900 gateways and Poynting PUCK-5 antennas with asset tags and RFID readers to effectively manage thousands of assets - all from behind a single pane of glass.
The IBR900 Series with NetCloud IoT Solutions Package provides a compact ruggedized 4G LTE router solution for connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale. With an extensive list of safety and hardening certifications, it can be confidently deployed in the field, in buildings, or in embedded systems to deliver complete visibility, security, and control of connected devices anywhere.
The Poynting PUCK-5 antenna offers a small profile antenna for use in the IoT/M2M, Smart Meter, Smart Utilities, Transportation, Marine and the Agricultural/Farming markets. The PUCK-5 consists of a 5-in-1 antenna system within a single housing, featuring 2X2 MIMO LTE, 2X2 MIMO Wi-Fi (Dual-band 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) and GPS/GLONASS.
Benefits Observed
Increased Operational Transparency and Security
Floor managers can see when vehicles arrive, when merchandise is offloaded, and when it is placed where it’s suppose to be. They can see if it’s moved outside of designated areas as well as when it reaches key check points along it’s journey. They can track items both in and out of doors, and in and outside of transport vehicles while also tracking the vehicles themselves. Because of this, they experience significant decreases to theft, increases in client satisfaction, and major improvements to operational efficiency.
