MILAN and IRVINE, Calif., Oct.
28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a
global technology solutions pioneer transforming the mobile
connected economy, today announced its subsidiary,
LoJack® Italia, a leader in stolen vehicle recovery
(SVR) and innovative telematics services, unveiled iOn™
Tag and iOn™ Vision for commercial fleet and
supply chain operators to provide for the timely and safe delivery
of vital goods and assets across Europe, while improving driver safety and
transportation efficiency.
These new smart solutions, supported by Artificial Intelligence
(AI) and data analytics, were announced for the Italian market by
Massimo Braga, deputy general
manager of LoJack Italia, at a roundtable titled, Road
Transportation in Trouble: A Sector That Gives Without
Receiving, during #FORUMAutoMotive held in Milan.
iOn Tag Delivers Continuous Shipment Visibility
iOn
Tag is a sensor that looks like a small label and is capable of
tracking and protecting vital goods and assets. The sensor
communicates with a telematics device onboard the vehicle using
Bluetooth. When an iOn Tag is placed on a package transported in a
commercial vehicle, it signals the presence or absence of the goods
in real-time, while the device signals the exact position of the
vehicle in real-time.
iOn Tags can be placed on any asset to:
- Determine exact location of the asset in
real-time
- Report the asset's pick up or drop off from a vehicle
managed by the logistics operator
- Limit theft and fraud by immediately reporting route
anomalies
- Enable driver identification and authorization
for asset pick-up and delivery
- Monitor high-value assets such as perishable food,
pharmaceuticals or equipment onboard a fire truck, ambulance or
service vehicle
- Enable timely and safe student transport via school
buses by monitoring student pick up and drop off
iOn Vision Improves Driver Safety and Transportation
Efficiency
iOn Vision is a fully integrated video
telematics solution that provides fleet operators and service
providers with actionable and deterministic video insights that
mitigate liabilities and improve fleet safety.
The solution features self-installed, road-facing and
driver-facing cameras along with a CalAmp WiFi-enabled telematics
edge device and video server. This system detects visual triggers
and audibly alerts the driver to stop signs, speeding and other
road safety issues. Inertial triggers indicate and store hard
braking, harsh cornering or rapid acceleration, providing fleet
operators with an accurate assessment of driver behavior to improve
driving habits, efficiency and fleet safety under ever-changing
road conditions.
Through tight integration with CalAmp's
CrashBoxx® service, iOn Vision captures
direct video evidence of collisions for detailed crash reports and
accident reconstructions facilitating investigations to minimize
liability. Cameras can also be installed in truck trailers to
measure available space, thereby maximizing transport
loads.
"For more than a decade, LoJack and CalAmp have been working to
redefine telematics solutions and drive greater value for our
customers and partners," said Massimo
Braga, deputy general manager of LoJack Italia. "iOn Vision
and iOn Tag resulted from this commitment and represent the finest
telematics solutions we've produced to help fleet and supply chain
operators protect drivers and others on the road, as well as the
vital assets and goods they transport every day across Italy and throughout Europe."
