SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb.
20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today
announced a collaboration with Digi International, a leading global
provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and
services, to enable Trimble fleet customers to leverage the
SmartSense by Digi® solution on their refrigerated trailers.
This fleet-focused initiative is part of both Trimble and Digi's
effort to better connect all aspects of the supply chain. As part
of these efforts, Trimble and Digi previously announced an
integration of Digi's temperature monitoring data into Trimble's
shipment visibility platform for shippers, third-party logistics
providers and carriers.
With SmartSense by Digi, fleets in the food and beverage
industry can quickly deploy remote monitoring to improve
productivity, compliance and quality control. Designed to deliver
real-time insight, SmartSense provides an efficient
subscription-based service that continuously and wirelessly
monitors task management activities and the temperature of
perishable, high-value goods in different industries such as food
services, healthcare, transportation and logistics or retail.
Today, SmartSense systems enable real-time sensor-driven decisions
at over 2,000 organizations in 75 countries.
"This collaboration gives our refrigerated fleet customers the
opportunity to improve cold chain safety and compliance through
SmartSense," said Adrian Harding,
director of product strategy for Trimble's Transportation Division.
"We recognize the market need for an integrated cold chain trailer
tracking solution, and Digi and Trimble are working together to
maximize our customers' safety, efficiency and visibility."
"The prevention of illness and potential contamination in
foodservice, food monitoring, healthcare and pharmaceutical
industries is obviously a top priority, but organizations can also
see tremendous business benefit with automated cold chain safety
solutions," said Kevin Riley,
president of SmartSense by Digi.
