The Smart Glass Tracking Solution

A solution for unique business needs

An IoT solution to track and trace glass stillages, A-frames and heavy-duty trolleys, consists of: battery-powered IoT devices attached to the glass racks; a data platform to realise the value of the asset data sent by the devices; and, most importantly, the right IoT network connectivity.

1. Asset tracking device

Asset tracking devices are attached to glass and window stillages to collect location and movement data.

The devices send notifications to data platforms when the glass is delivered or damaged, and include accompanying documentation and images.

2. Connectivity to the 0G Network

Choosing the right IoT connectivity is crucial to ensure effective asset tracking. The 0G Network allows for efficient and cost-effective tracking of devices with long-lasting battery life and minimal risk. It has a wide coverage spanning over 70 countries.

3. Data-visualisation platform

Tailored to fix supply chain problems.
The platform helps you track where your assets are and how long they are idle using location-based reports. This enables automation of inventory management and forecasting peak seasons to optimise stock levels.

An asset tracking solution you can rely on
