Annexia
International selects Sierra Wireless services to deploy global asset
tracking solution
Sierra
Wireless’ Smart IoT Connectivity allows asset tracking solution to turn
traditional passive assets into smart transportation equipment
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2019--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading provider of fully
integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced that Annexia International Inc., an expert in
ultra-low-power asset tracking devices, has chosen Sierra Wireless’
Smart IoT Connectivity for global deployment of its NStar
TM
asset tracking and management solution.
Kim L. Lim, co-founder of Annexia, said: “Knowing the location and
status of cargo in transit is key to ensuring that shipments arrive in
the right place, at the right time and in good condition. Our data shows
that every one percent improvement in asset utilization generates an
additional $1,200 in revenue annually, per unit, from more efficient
fleet operations, planning and inventory management. Sierra Wireless’
IoT services enabled us to turn traditional equipment into connected,
data-rich transportation assets that generate additional revenue for our
customers, as well as deploy our solution globally without having to
manage multiple carrier agreements.”
Reliable access to real-time information about asset location and status
is critical for logistics and shipping companies. Disruptions can have
serious impacts on customer satisfaction and a company’s bottom line if
deliveries are delayed or dispatch is inefficient. However, tracking
intermodal assets as they are transferred from truck to plane to train
can be a challenge, particularly because of the harsh environments these
assets are exposed to and the lack of access to a permanent power
source. Using Sierra Wireless Smart IoT Connectivity, Annexia
International is helping companies overcome this challenge by enabling
them to quickly convert existing container chassis and trailers into
smart transportation assets.
Marc Overton, Chief Solutions Officer, Sierra Wireless, said: “Annexia
chose Sierra Wireless because no other IoT player is able to provide the
same in-depth understanding of asset tracking applications. By working
with Sierra Wireless to transform traditional assets, Annexia was able
to create new revenue opportunities and provide their customers with
meaningful data and an improved service.”
Annexia’s solution couples a web-based asset management platform with
the company’s NStar technology to take the guess work out of shipping.
Customers have access to real-time asset location and inventory data,
equipment use rates and vehicle idling, mileage and trip reports.
Optional add-on sensors provide data on vehicle status, including weight
detection and ABS monitoring. Installed onto any chassis or trailer in
just a few minutes, NStar allows logistics and shipping companies to
track assets from the production plant to their final destination. NStar
is connected using Sierra Wireless' Smart IoT Connectivity, enabling
them to take full advantage of data collected at the edge and deliver
actionable insights to their customers. With Sierra Wireless’ solution,
Annexia can deploy almost anywhere in the world and provide customers
with a superior product.
