London, UK: Tracker Network (UK), now provides its tracking system throughout Europe.
Developed and implemented by its United States parent CalAmp, the system will particularly benefit multinational businesses in the pharmaceutical, electronics, biotech, food and consumer goods industries looking to secure high-value, high-risk shipments in transit, while also improving supply chain efficiency and offering essential documentation for regulatory compliance purposes.
Tracker’s Supply Chain Visibility system uses wireless sensors and other reusable and single-use devices that can be fixed to equipment to track and collect data, such as temperature, light, shock, vibration and location.
Operators can monitor cargo throughout the shipment journey from a manufacturer to the final destination. Upon arrival, the sensors automatically synchronise with hubs to support a chain of custody documentation and environmental reporting. Sensor data sent through the CalAmp Telematics Cloud can be directly integrated into warehouse, fleet and logistics management systems via Application Programming Interfaces.
“The pandemic brought to light many challenges within the global supply chain, from port and border closures to product shortages and Covid-19 vaccine shipments. Manually tracking goods in transit exposes cargo to human error and theft, and limits visibility into environmental damage,” said Mark Rose, managing director, Tracker.
“Sensor- and API-enabled smarter logistics systems like our Supply Chain Visibility solution prove invaluable in reducing freight spoilage, optimising supply chain performance, documenting chain of custody and protecting brand integrity.”
