Globe Tracker International Launches Revolutionary, End-to-End Tracking, Monitoring and Trade Data Sharing for the Global Shipping Industry
HONG KONG, Mar 11, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Globe Tracker(R) International (GTI), a leader in data sharing, data
analytics, and asset tracking and monitoring, announces the
introduction of its revolutionary Smart Autonomous Asset Solution
that combines all three of its areas of expertise. Globe Tracker's
Smart Autonomous Asset Solution combines GTI's Trade Data Exchange
Network (TDEN) and Smart Autonomous Asset Network (SAAN) with its
Globe Tracker Communications Unit to deliver the most functional,
reliable and cost effective global tracking, monitoring and trade
data sharing solution in the industry.
GTI's Trade Data Exchange Network uniquely allows supply chain
partners to securely and selectively share supply chain data from
their own private databases, behind their own security firewalls. No
one gives up control of their private data. Anyone of the partners
can request the latest data for a particular asset, a parcel being
shipped from China to Canada for example, through a secure web
portal. GTI's TDEN searches across the Internet for data related to
the parcel identification number being searched for in the private
databases connected to the TDEN. The search finds data for the parcel
at a factory in China that used a Part Number to identify it in their
database, at a trucking company and logistics depot that used
barcodes and RFID Tags to identify the parcel in their databases, and
a container number with the parcel inside, bundled on a pallet with
other cargo, waiting at a port. All of the data is returned to the
web portal where the search originated. The disparate data is
normalized and presented to the searcher for analytic visualization,
things like where is it now, what route has it taken to get to this
point, what temperatures has it been exposed to, what carriers have
carried the parcel, and much more.
GTI's Smart Autonomous Asset Network tracks and monitors assets for
the purpose of improving the assets efficient utilization and as a
by-product provide the asset owner with valuable real-time data that
can be shared with its supply chain partners. Refrigerated (reefer)
cargo shippers in particular achieve a multitude of benefits from
Globe Tracker's in-depth supply chain tracking and monitoring and
data analysis. Cargo area monitoring ensures consistent product
quality for maximum market value and shelf life, and tracking higher
cost reefer containers improves asset utilization and minimizes risk.
In addition carriers obtain data that will be extremely valuable to
their customers. Globe Tracker works to safeguard a consistent,
secure end-to-end cold chain.
The centerpiece of GTI's SAAN is the Globe Tracker Communications
Unit (GTI Comm Unit) which is permanently installed on the asset. It
will track and monitor for the life of the asset, truck trailers, dry
bulk and reefer cargo containers, and railway cars for example. The
GTI Comm Unit securely reports the asset's global position along with
data from any installed GTI wireless peripheral devices to the asset
owner's private database, from anywhere in world. This private asset
data is available to the asset owner for use by various business
analytics provided by the GTI SAAN Graphical User Interface like
mapping the asset's position over time, load status, contract status,
temperature profile, door open/closed status, and many others. This
SAAN data is seamlessly available to whatever legacy business
software applications the asset owner already uses.
Globe Tracker's Smart Autonomous Asset solution delivers significant
advantages to the marketplace including: new revenue generation
opportunities; improvements to return on assets and asset
utilization; multilevel supply chain visibility for better
decision-making; loss and risk reductions; and service level
improvements.
"After working for over half a decade to develop, test and pilot
Globe Tracker's devices and networks, we are thrilled to offer GTI's
game-changing supply chain tracking, monitoring and trade data
sharing technology to the global shipping industry," says Jim Davis,
Globe Tracker Founder and CEO.
