Haltian expands its Internet of Things (IoT) platform with small Thingsee® POD and TAG sensors
Challenge
Many of the current asset tracking and access control systems deliver spot information from pre-determined locations. With Thingsee® the location of the goods can be monitored in real time and without interruption within a warehouse or a factory, but also while in transit between sites. Besides the location, the environmental conditions during storage and transport can also be monitored in real-time. Thanks to our IoT platform’s data acquisition capabilities and cost efficiency, we believe that it will revolutionize the asset tracking and logistic operations of several businesses.

Approach
The platform consists of the Thingsee® HUB-gateway device plus the Thingsee® POD and TAG sensors. The Thingsee® HUB delivers the data collected from the sensors directly to the client’s back-end systems via a cellular or WiFi connection. The Thingsee® POD and TAG sensors can be used to measure temperature, luminosity, humidity, air pressure and motion. In addition, there is a magnetic switch that recognizes the magnetic field of structures, thus it is possible to track if a door or window are open or close and measure the presence of electricity.

Result
The sensors can also be used for tracking and monitoring assets, goods and people in a completely new, and a far more cost-effective manner. Thingsee® POD is a smaller than a golf ball low-power sensor device with an operating life-time of up to several years. Thingsee® TAG is a coin-sized version of the POD and is well suited for applications which demand a particularly small size. The Thingsee® sensors are already used in many e.g. asset tracking and environment control pilots.
“The Internet of Things is a very broad term. We focus particularly on industrial and infrastructure- level applications. We see logistics and asset tracking as one of the fastest growing application areas within the IoT. Haltian is a very valuable addition to our partner network because together we are able to provide customers with advanced, effective solutions that are easier and less costly to deploy.”
