Preview of ASPION L-Track as end-to-end solution for the first time at logistic trade fairs

ASPION introduces new IoT transport data logger with 360-degree live tracking

Karlsruhe, 09 February 2023. ASPION GmbH introduces the ASPION L-Track, a unique IoT device with a sensor and IoT platform that enables live global transport monitoring of valuable and sensitive machinery and equipment for several years. The connected Internet of Things (IoT) platform gives customers round-the-clock access to the current location of goods as well as unusual occurrences, including an alerting function. As an end-to-end solution "Made in Germany", the specialist in data loggers for shock and impact monitoring is consistently expanding its product portfolio with the ASPION L-Track to include a live tracking IoT system for multimodal, global 360-degree transport monitoring and a secure supply chain. ASPION will present a preview for the first time at the logistics trade fairs LogiMAT and transport logistic.

360-degree transparency in real time for impact/shock, climate and more

The new ASPION L-Track is particularly suitable for machinery and plant manufacturers who want to consistently monitor shock-sensitive, high-value equipment live in multimodal worldwide transport and track its current location and condition in real time. The special feature of all ASPION data loggers, including the new ASPION L-Track, is the detailed shock recording in milliseconds, supplemented by the unique shock and vibration test in accordance with the European transport standard. Damaging shocks are reliably and recognisably traceable - immediately after they occur. Combined with geo-coordinates, the recording of other environmental influences such as temperature, humidity or even opening or inclination detection, users receive 360-degree transparency of their systems around the globe in real time. This enables customers to react directly to events and initiate necessary measures.

Interaction of different components as integrated end-to-end solution

The live transport monitoring solution developed by ASPION consists of several components that interact perfectly to enable 360-degree tracking of any goods in a simple manner.

The ASPION L-Track IoT tracking device uses the energy-saving LTE-M standard and 2G as a fallback solution for secure and efficient live data transmission and IoT Internet of Things connectivity via mobile radio. Positioning is carried out cellular via mobile communication and can be extended if required to include GPS data accurate to the metre. Various sensors ensure seamless and transparent tracking of any events. The IoT device, which weighs around 250 grams and is equipped with replaceable standard batteries, has the size of a spectacle case, is waterproof, suitable for air freight and can be attached flexibly.

The powerful, web-based ASPION IoT platform with password-protected access is used to display and analyse location and sensor data. At the same time, it enables the easy management and control of devices, a role-based user management including alarms, and numerous administration functions.

Preview at the logistics trade fairs LogiMAT and transport logistic

The ASPION L-Track will be presented to the public for the first time at LogiMat (25 - 27.04.23, Stuttgart, Hall 8 Stand B17) and transport logistic (09 - 12.05.2023, Munich, Hall A3 Stand 230). The complete solution will be available in the second half of 2023.
