Asset and remote inventory monitoring demand secure, cost-effective connectivity

Monitoring the location and condition of your assets and inventory in real time is essential to protecting goods in transit and keeping your operations running smoothly.

Predictive maintenance

IoT-enabled asset tracking solutions can support predictive maintenance capabilities that keep equipment functioning reliably, around the clock. Get notifications before failures occur and automatically launch maintenance processes.

Supply chain optimization

Asset and inventory monitoring capabilities provide real-time visibility into supply chain performance, enabling companies to improve quality control and minimize losses.

Location, location, location

Assets can be precisely located using wireless radio signals to triangulate a location. Product developers can also add GPS location capabilities to their products to enhance asset monitoring.

Supply Chain Visibility

Remote inventory monitoring and tracking goods in your supply chain means knowing their location and their condition — ensuring that temperature-sensitive goods remain in compliance with applicable regulations.

Bin Monitoring
Bin Monitoring

Bin monitoring solutions make it easy to monitor the levels of any materials stored in large bins. Livestock farmers can monitor feed supplies. Highway departments can monitor supplies of road salt, building materials and more.

Pipeline Monitoring
Pipeline Monitoring

One leaky pipeline can produce serious environmental damage — and serious regulatory fines. But flow meters connected to Digi XBee modules can transmit data wirelessly through Digi routers to immediately alert engineers and site managers to the likely location of a leak, helping ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

FSMA and SLA Compliance
FSMA and SLA Compliance

End-to-end quality control enables you to provide proof of inventory reporting temperature throughout the cold chain and simplify FSMA and CDC compliance. IoT monitoring also ensures you meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with partners and customers.
