Bringing transparency to logistics – SpotBot® 4G Plus improves supply chain management all the way through

SpotBot 4G Plus is a next-generation monitoring device that can do more than track shipments: it helps you understand the conditions of the whole journey.

The device is compact and easy to mount onto goods and vehicles for business-to-business and business-to-consumer deliveries.

SpotBot monitors critical factors:

• Shocks. SpotBot’s impact sensor detects any blows to the goods. For example, if the package is dropped onto the floor, you are notified of when and where it happened. The lower detection limit for impacts is 3 g.
• Temperature. SpotBot tracks ambient temperature throughout the journey. This data is especially important for refrigerated transport and medical logistics that require stable conditions.
• Humidity. SpotBot measures humidity because variation can degrade products or change their properties.
• Location. SpotBot pinpoints exactly where your shipment is travelling, but also indicates where along the way the conditions have changed.

SpotBot can track the movement of any goods, and it is especially useful for the following:

• Refrigerated goods and any other goods requiring a certain temperature and high stability.
• Fragile and easily spoiled goods and products.
• Medical transport applications.
• High-value cargo.

The device uses GPS and Wi-Fi technology to record movement in real time, displayed in a web portal along with the transport conditions. Users must log in to view the tracking data, including impacts, humidity and temperature.

The device tracks the shipment non-stop.

SpotBot 4G Plus benefits in a nutshell:

• Makes the supply chain transparent by collecting relevant data during transport.
• Better tracking can prevent and minimise damage, saving costs.
• Any deviations will be reported to you, e.g. high temperatures and impacts.
• Clearer responsibilities and correction procedures. If goods are damaged, the tracking data can prove where the deviation occurred.
• Spot and track where your rented equipment and products go.
• Increase trust and customer satisfaction with quick interventions in case of accidents – instantly find the root cause and answers to what, where and when.

In logistics, there have been all sorts of tracking and logging devices over the years, but SpotBot 4G Plus sets itself apart by reporting four critical variables in real time.

The SpotSee cloud application makes the data available immediately without having to wait for the shipment to arrive to read the data.

SpotBot allows you to accurately spot the time and place where damage has occurred. This makes it trivial to find out who is responsible.

Summary: SpotBot 4G Plus makes it easy to track your logistics

• Perfect for manufacturers and partners: can be mounted directly onto packaging.
• Perfect for carriers: can be installed on vehicles.
• Especially useful for refrigerated transport, high-value cargo and fragile items.
• Reusable: can be returned to the sender once the shipment arrives.
