Sierra Wireless Introduces Acculink Cargo, a New Managed IoT Asset Tracking Solution

Sierra Wireless, the world's leading provider of IoT solutions, today announced the release of Acculink Cargo, a new regulated IoT service that businesses can easily deploy to track the location and condition of high-value and sensitive assets. Acculink Cargo, which is provided as a service for a single monthly fee, leverages Sierra Wireless' unparalleled experience in IoT devices, global networking, and cloud to provide a single solution for businesses to track the near real-time status of assets anywhere in the world as they pass through their supply chains.

A Large and Growing Market

Asset tracking and other supply chain visibility solutions represent a sizable and quickly expanding market. Mordor Intelligence estimated the asset tracking industry at $17.14 billion in 2020 and expects it to rise to $34.82 billion by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate of 13.45%, according to a recent report. According to the report, the e-commerce boom has increased the need for businesses to track assets.

Acculink Cargo provides the supply-chain visibility needed by electronics manufacturers, cold-chain carriers, general freight carriers, food and produce shippers, and third-party logistics companies to reduce shipment delays, minimize dwell time, prevent fraud, and remediate environmental hazards that can lead to asset loss. Acculink Cargo will alert customers if an asset is exposed to light, changes in temperature, humidity, shock, or other factors that may ruin or otherwise affect it, in addition to tracking their location.

A Simple, Flexible, Powerful Solution for Asset Tracking

Sierra Wireless has designed Acculink Cargo to meet the three main needs that businesses face when tracking high-value and sensitive assets – real-time visibility, product-level tracking, and exception-driven monitoring – based on more than two decades of experience in the IoT industry.

Acculink Cargo also has the following advantages:

• Quick Deployment: Acculink Cargo seamlessly incorporates edge computers, global network access, and a cloud-based platform, allowing for rapid deployment in as little as 30 days with reduced startup costs.

• Tracking with High Accuracy: Using LTE cellular wireless networks in combination with GPS data, customers can pinpoint the location of their assets.

• Flexibility/Ease of Use: The cloud-based platform has an easy-to-use user interface with personalized dashboards and configurable alerts.

• Configurable Location and Status Reporting:  Users can configure each shipment's geolocation, light, temperature, humidity, and shock conditions. Users may also change the frequency at which data on these conditions is updated, enabling them to prolong the battery life of their edge devices.

• Valuable Insights: Users will analyze real-time and historical shipping data to discover patterns and other facts that will help them make smarter business decisions.
