How it works?
The Orion Data Network is an affordable technology that simplifies data communication by removing the need for a mobile phone network. Unlike regular GPS trackers, Orion tags offer real-time location-based services. Small, battery-powered smart tracking devices and sensors are securely mounted wherever you need them. These devices collect real-time information about the exact location and conditions of goods at any point along the supply chain and securely transmit this information through the Orion Data Network.
The Orion Data Network passes encrypted data over the licence-free 433 frequency. Its long-range, low-power data enables real-time tracking anywhere within any Orion zone, and the 256-bit encrypted network is one of the most secure networks in the world. The system is flexible so you can decide what kind of services you need to fit your organisation and budget. It can also be easily integrated over an API to any of your servers.
Bespoke enterprise resource planning software and mapping will provide everything your organisation requires to locate products and resources throughout their lifecycle. On your tailored dashboard, you’ll be able to view your entire logistics workflow in a single glance— at any time, from anywhere.
Manage your goods at every step of the way.
Real-time asset tracking, affordable technology, and robust security come together in the Orion Network, the ultimate solution for supply chain management and logistics.
Smart Logistics & Supply Chain Visibility Solutions
Supply Chain Visibility
Smarter Technologies has the tools to enable you to automate your supply chain logistics for enhanced supply chain visibility. Our technology collects accurate real-time data on the location, temperature, condition and safety of your assets.
By instituting control on depots and inventory management with the option of digital proof of delivery and the ability to protect cargo and staff, the Orion Network can secure your facility with a daily global audit. You’ll also receive real-time alerts from your smart logistics platform to inform you of unexpected events.
This information allows you to:
Identify potential problems such as bottlenecks
Remain agile and respond quickly
Manage your inventory better
Predict maintenance
Minimise the chance of theft
Improve delivery speed
Improve the productivity of your employees and partners
Supply Chain Tracking
Monitor, track and recover assets as they move around your supply chain. Orion tags are small, robust devices with a 5-year battery life that operate on a 30-second data cycle when in motion (and every 2 minutes when stationing), providing complete visibility of assets with real-time reporting functionality. Smarter Technologies’ supply chain tracking tags use a combination of low-power radio and GPS, which means that the signal can penetrate concrete and containers. They even work underground.
This means that you will know the location (and status) of all your tracked assets at all times, enabling you to provide better customer service and improve supplier processes and relationships.
Container Tracking
Container tracking solutions give you real-time, end-to-end asset visibility and data to monitor, track and recover your containers throughout the shipping supply chain. This enables you to manage the flow of asset ownership from warehouse to supplier, protecting your assets and your reputation.
Pallet Online Tracking
Increase locational visibility of pallets and associated assets down your supply chain increasing supplier accountability and transparency using Orion low-power radio smart sensor technology. View pallet online tracking on your bespoke management dashboard.
Supply Chain Monitoring
If any components require special handling or temperature control, our Smarter Logistics geolocation capabilities can be coupled with transportation condition monitoring. This allows you to collate and analyse pre-defined, real-time data about the condition and status of your assets, and be notified when and where in the supply chain assets are involved in an incident.
This reporting on temperature, location, status, condition, time, speed, motion, tamper, G-force, tilt, humidity and more gives you accurate business intelligence data quick responses and business decisions based on insights and analysis.
Hot or cold threshold notifications
Real-time temperature monitoring anywhere, from containers on the high seas to food storage facilities in central hub locations. Be notified if your produce or asset exceeds temperature fluctuations to within as little as one degree Celsius. With enhanced cold chain visibility along the supply chain, you’ll be able to reduce waste and ensure the integrity of the products in transit.
Shock detection sensors
Most large multinational companies maintain self-insured status. A common issue they experience within the supply chain is ‘damaged in transit’. Orion tags can work in the supply chain within 3G coverage, or monitor assets in real-time from a static location. Because some assets may be more sensitive than others, shock/ impact sensors can be configured on a per asset basis.
Fleet Monitoring
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Solutions
Utilising the Orion Network, Smarter Technologies has the perfect automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) solution for your fleet and all your logistics needs. Our ANPR software optimises the speed of the service from start to finish, making the process of delivery, shipping and fleet travel far more efficient and cost-effective.
Freight Monitoring
Our Smarter Logistics service provides you with the best vehicle tracking software to monitor and manage your fleet. By attaching low-power radio tags to tools and equipment, we ensure that you will get accurate data on the performance and maintenance of your assets—with real-time visibility that provides insight into the location, behaviour and status of all your automotive assets.
Border Protection
With the UK’s changing landscape, it has become necessary to keep a closer eye on the import and export trade. Our border protection tags monitor what is coming in and out of any country. This technology is applicable to freight imports, railway monitoring and has even been applied to barrels. We assist you in monitoring your assets and ensuring that they are protected across all borders.
