Integrated tracking monitor

The entire world relies on advanced supply chains and shipping logistics. By boat, by plane or by truck, everybody’s waiting on a delivery.

Consumers have long had the ability to track when their packages will be delivered, but why don’t businesses have a similar solution that provides real-time updates on where their ordered or shipped goods are?

Every year, companies lose an estimated $184 billion in inventory due to mishandled containers, lost products, unexpected weather conditions and other unfortunate circumstances.

What if there was a way to make sure your product was on the right track, on time and not being damaged by improper temperature or humidity?

  • Currently, supply chain disruptions cost companies an estimated $184 million every year due to outdated tracking solutions. Current systems don’t provide real-time tracking or environmental data which hurts pallet recovery rates.

  • Create an integrated tracking module that could be discreetly included in pallets and shipping containers. Tracking module should also include temperature and humidity sensors to ensure goods don’t get ruined in transit by storms or breaches. Additionally, build a backend server that compiles data from tracking modules and presents in a clean and understandable way

  • Together with our partners, ACD successfully designed, tested, assembled, and finalized an advanced, integrated tracking module and data server that provides customers in the supply chain industry the ability to accurately monitor their goods.
