Carrier Transicold, in partnership with IoT and wireless technology provider Net Feasa, has introduced IoTPASS—a state-of-the-art telematics solution for dry containers that extends asset monitoring capabilities beyond refrigerated units. Fully integrated with the Lynx Fleet platform, IoTPASS enables seamless tracking of both dry and refrigerated containers within a single ecosystem, thus expanding Carrier Transicold’s digital offerings and enhancing connectivity in intermodal supply chains.
Dry container telematics is a rapidly growing segment, complementing the refrigerated container telematics space where Lynx Fleet has already achieved success.
“With IoTPASS, we are transforming the way our customers manage their assets throughout the supply chain,” said Tan Bor Yow, Senior Channel Manager, BluEdge, Global Container Refrigeration, Carrier Transicold. “It delivers the same innovation and reliability we’re known for in the refrigerated container space, now optimized for dry containers.”
Key features of IoTPASS include:
- 3-in-1 Integrated Device: A compact unit featuring tracking (Track & Trace), an integrated door sensor for enhanced security, and heat sensors to detect in-container fires, all providing real-time monitoring of cargo safety.
- Uninterrupted Connectivity: The device operates across cellular networks with LoRa and satellite as fallback options, ensuring continuous data flow and alert notifications even in areas with limited cellular coverage.
- Fast and Simple Installation: A patent-pending snap-spin-secure mechanism allows quick installation using only one rivet, reducing setup time and cost.
- 10+ Year Battery Life: Extended battery life, enhanced with solar-harvesting capabilities, ensures long-term functionality with minimal maintenance
Designed for high-value cargo, IoTPASS offers flexible per-trip pricing and one-way logistics tracking, giving shippers the option to invest for added peace of mind. This makes IoTPASS an ideal solution for businesses needing to stay agile and responsive to industry changes.
Scheduled for global release through Carrier’s established BluEdge Partners telematics reseller network in Q4 2024, IoTPASS will enhance supply chain visibility and improve operational efficiency through innovative technology.
