Provides end-to-end visibility and robust analytics for
comprehensive reefer management
ROCHELLE PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2017--
ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq:ORBC), a leading global provider of
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions,
announced today that it has launched the next generation of its cold
chain monitoring solution. ORBCOMM’s
PT 6000, which is available as a 3G or LTE cellular or dual-mode
satellite-cellular version, enables fuel and temperature management,
maintenance, logistics and regulatory compliance for refrigerated
transport assets.
As part of ORBCOMM’s comprehensive telematics solution that includes
sensors, connectivity and the CargoWatch®
application, the compact, ruggedized PT 6000 enables complete
visibility and control of cold chain operations to help ensure the
integrity of temperature-controlled cargo as it moves along the supply
chain. ORBCOMM’s enhanced reefer management solution provides the
precise temperature monitoring capabilities and records needed for
compliance with the FDA’s
Food Safety Modernization Act regulatory requirements. The solution
can remotely set reefer temperature, change reefer state, initiate a
defrost and more with two-way commands. It can also receive real-time
alarms when specific conditions are detected, such as an active reefer
is turned off, cargo area temperature deviates from the set points or
does not match values specified by the order, an asset enters or exits a
geofence, and rapid fuel loss is detected.
ORBCOMM’s feature-rich solution is compatible with every type of
refrigerated unit for maximum utilization and seamless installation on
the wall of a refrigerated trailer or inside a reefer cabinet. The
device supports up to three temperature sensors to accommodate reefers
with multiple zones and has a rechargeable battery that reports for up
to 10 days on a single charge when no vehicle power is available. In
addition, the device is fully integrated with third-party dispatch and
in-cab software providers, including Innovative Computing Corp., TMW
Systems, McLeod Software, Add On Systems, PeopleNet, SSI, and Prophesy.
“In refrigerated trucking, it is critical for fleet owners to
be compliant with the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act, and ORBCOMM’s
technology provides the end-to-end visibility and control to meet these
regulatory requirements and ensure the highest level of service
throughout the cold chain,” said Craig Malone, ORBCOMM’s Executive Vice
President of Product Development. “We continue to see a migration toward
IoT technology as part of our transportation customers’ core strategies
to reduce costs and add efficiencies, and we are pleased to be the
solution provider of choice for some of the biggest names in the
industry.”

solution, please schedule
