Acculink Cargo provides an easy to deploy, near
real-time visibility, global tracking and exception-based
monitoring solution for high-value and sensitive assets to serve
the $30B+ global asset tracking market
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the world’s leading
IoT solutions provider, today launched Acculink Cargo, a new
managed IoT solution that companies can quickly deploy to track the
location and condition of high-value and sensitive assets.
Delivered as a service for a single monthly fee, Acculink Cargo
leverages Sierra Wireless’ unique expertise in IoT devices, global
connectivity and cloud to deliver a single solution companies can
use to monitor the near real-time status of assets anywhere in the
world, as they move through their supply chains.
A Large and Growing Market Asset tracking and other
supply chain visibility solutions are a large and rapidly growing
market. In a recent report, Mordor Intelligence valued the asset
tracking market at $17.14 billion in 2020, and expects this market
to grow to $34.82 billion by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate
of 13.45%. As the report notes, the e-commerce boom has increased
the need for companies to track assets.
Acculink Cargo enables electronics manufacturers, cold-chain
carriers, general freight carriers, food and produce shippers and
third-party logistics firms to gain the supply-chain visibility
they require to avoid shipping delays, minimize dwell time, prevent
theft and remediate environmental conditions that can lead to asset
damage. In addition to tracking the location of these assets,
Acculink Cargo can also alert customers if an asset is exposed to
light, changes in temperature, humidity, shock, or other conditions
that might spoil or otherwise damage it.
A Simple, Flexible, Powerful Solution for Asset Tracking
Drawing on more than two decades of experience in the IoT market,
Sierra Wireless has designed Acculink Cargo to address the three
key needs facing companies as they seek to track high-value and
sensitive assets – real-time visibility, product-level tracking and
exception-based monitoring.
In addition, Acculink Cargo boasts these other benefits:
- Quick Deployment: Acculink Cargo fully integrates edge
devices, global network connectivity and a cloud-based application,
supporting quick deployment in as little as 30 days, with minimal
startup costs.
- Highly Accurate Tracking: Use of LTE cellular wireless
networks in combination with GPS data enables customers to pinpoint
the location of their assets.
- Flexibility/Ease of Use: The cloud-based application
features a simple, intuitive user interface with customizable
dashboards and configurable alerts.
- Configurable Location and Status Reporting: Users can
set up specific geolocation, light, temperature, humidity, and
shock conditions they want to monitor for each shipment. Users can
also adjust when data on these conditions is updated, allowing them
to extend the battery life of their edge devices.
- Valuable Insights: Users can analyze real-time and
historical shipping data to uncover trends and other information
that can help them make better business decisions.
“When it comes to high-value and sensitive assets, companies no
longer want to just track their location as they travel through
their supply chains. Today, they expect to be able to monitor the
condition of these assets in near real-time as well,” said Rupal
Nanavati, Vice President & General Manager of IoT Applications,
Sierra Wireless. “Acculink Cargo addresses these needs, with an
easy-to-deploy, fully integrated managed solution from the global
leader in IoT.”
Pricing and Availability Acculink Cargo is sold on an
as-a-service basis, lowering customers’ initial upfront investment,
while also allowing them to easily scale the solution up or down as
their business needs change. Customers have the option to purchase
devices upfront, and only pay for connectivity and the application
on a subscription basis. Alternatively, they can sign up for a
complete managed IoT service, with a single monthly fee that covers
devices, network and application access.
Acculink Cargo is currently available to customers throughout
North America. Sierra Wireless plans to expand availability of the
solution to other regions in the future.
