Savi announced the newest addition to its current suite of sensors. Savi Locate for global multi-modal shipments is the first sensor built to operate on all available 4G, 3G and 2G cellular networks to ensure shippers have live, streaming visibility to goods-in-transit worldwide.
The most significant visibility gaps in global multi-modal shipping happen when a shipment is transferred from land-to-sea or sea-to-land. Traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) carrier messages provide delayed milestone information. In the case of land-to-sea shipments, the Loaded on Vessel message that a container has been loaded on a ship is typically sent 1-5 days after loading. EDI does not offer real-time information on location.
Savi Locate for global multi-modal shipments removes supply chain uncertainty by delivering objective and accurate real-time, in-transit visibility data from the broadest range of locations around the world. In addition to its global coverage, the Industrial IoT (IIoT) sensor minimizes operations support requirements with a battery life of six months to five years depending on ping interval.
“Our customers have already witnessed the benefits of real-time visibility solutions in their supply chains, such as a pharma company saving $15 million worth of inventory from spoilage and an industrial manufacturer reducing in-transit damage from shock,” said Rich Carlson, CEO of Savi Technology. “Now, Savi’s new Locate sensor offers the broadest coverage available today to help shippers measurably improve customer delivery performance and reduce carrying costs.”
