Why PackAware?
Logistics is hard. Millions of machines, devices and spare parts travel the globe via air, sea and ground. Accidents are unavoidable. Sometimes your cargo and business will be affected.
To minimize delay and harm to your customers, it’s important to be able to react quickly when something goes wrong. PackAware notifies you automatically when it detects something has likely gone wrong. The ability to detect and react will save the situation and make you a winner in your business.
Leverage the benefits of modern Industrial Internet era tools in your business to inspire confidence and trust in your customers.
Detect damage
The tracking device measures acceleration, temperature and humidity of your package. Collisions, harmful accelerations and vibrations can be detected using acceleration data. Extreme temperatures can be detected from the temperature data. Rain and water condensation damage can be detected from the humidity data.
By default, PackAware considers accelerations over 8 g, humidities over 60 % RH, temperatures under 5 °C and temperatures over 40 °C harmful and notifies you if those limits are exceeded. You can customize these settings further to better suit your business.
Find missing packages
Tracking devices use the best available positioning method automatically. When GPS signal is available you can see the location of a package with up to 10-meter accuracy. GSM cell tower location is used when GPS is not available to get a rough estimate of the location.
The position data can be used to find missing or stolen packages.
Improve delivery chain
Use the data and automatically generated notifications find out if your packages are often mishandled or delayed in specific parts of your delivery chain. With data as evidence, you have the required leverage to improve your delivery chain.
Schedule deliveries
Set target location and delivery date for each order.
PackAware will use the collected data to monitor the transport of the package and let you know if delivery has missed the target date.
Statistical data from deliveries can be used to detect bottlenecks in your delivery chain.
Monitor conditions
Some packages, such as industrial devices, bearings, medicine or foodstuff are sensitive to temperature and humidity.
Use the collected temperature and humidity data to learn about environments your cargo spends time in.
