Company to highlight expanded offering including the addition of
wireless connectivity services, new mobile app and GAMP 5 approval at
IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Germany
ROCHELLE PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 21, 2016--
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:ORBC), a global provider of Machine-to-Machine
(M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it
has enhanced its cold
chain compliance solution for the European refrigerated
transportation market. In addition to industry-leading temperature
recorders, sensors and the ColdChainView
web application, ORBCOMM’s comprehensive solution now includes
connectivity services from some of the largest providers of terrestrial
services in Europe as well as a new mobile app. By enabling precise
temperature monitoring, fuel management, preventive maintenance and
remote control for food, pharmaceuticals and other
temperature-controlled cargo, ORBCOMM helps customers improve end-to-end
operations and gain total assurance from the product’s origin to
destination.
As part of its cold chain compliance solution, ORBCOMM offers the Euroscan
X3 temperature recorder as well as the Euroscan
MX2 two-way monitoring and control device, which can be used
with a wide range of transport assets, including gensets,
railcars,
ocean
containers, straight
trucks and trailers. Featuring an integrated printer and easy-to-use
interface, the Euroscan X3 delivers printed or electronic temperature
records, real-time event-based alerts, advanced reports and analytics on
asset performance and utilization, geofences, and more, on demand for
temperature-controlled cargo. The Euroscan MX2 tracks the location of
refrigerated assets and provides real-time alerts when specific
conditions are detected, such as geofence access, intrusion detection,
temperature alarms, and more. It also provides a direct interface to
cold chain Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) microprocessors to
facilitate installation and use.
Both of these versatile devices can be integrated with ORBCOMM’s ColdChainView,
enabling customers to receive and manage critical asset location,
temperature, and status information through the device’s built-in
display or directly through the web application to ensure timely
corrective measures are taken when needed. With ORBCOMM’s end-to end
telematics solution, customers can ensure proof of an uninterrupted cold
chain, optimize asset performance and enable more efficient business
planning for refrigerated transportation operations throughout Europe.
ColdChainView is also available through the new ORBCOMMmobile
app, enabling customers to manage their refrigerated assets on the
go from any mobile device. ORBCOMM’s mobile app runs on both iOS
and Android
devices to facilitate easy access to real-time asset data and key
metrics.
As part of its end-to-end solution offering, ORBCOMM is now able to
provide terrestrial connectivity services in Europe through partnerships
with leading global wireless carriers, T-Mobile and Telefonica. These
unique partnerships enable ORBCOMM to offer cost-effective terrestrial
services with flexible data plans to meet customers’ specific
application requirements.
“From hardware and sensors to a robust web application to wireless
connectivity, ORBCOMM’s newly enhanced cold chain compliance solution
gives customers in Europe everything they need for real-time management
and control of their cold chain transport operations,” said Marc
Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer. “By utilizing our
ROI-driven solution, customers can maximize operational efficiency and
ensure that products moving along the cold chain meet regulatory
compliance and maintain integrity, which significantly reduces claims
over cargo loss and damage.”
In addition, ORBCOMM recently received the Good Automated Manufacturing
Practice (GAMP® 5) official certification of approval from
the European Institute for Pharma Logistics (EIPL) for its cold chain
compliance solution for the European market. This approval confirms that
select ORBCOMM products offer a reliable, cost-efficient choice for
customers that need to gain complete traceability of their operations,
report storage conditions, including deviations in temperature settings,
and protect the quality and integrity of their refrigerated assets
throughout the European supply chain.
