Challenges in Quality Control for International Transportation
During international transportation, the quality of goods may deteriorate due to changes in the climate and impact associated with long-distance, extended-duration travel. This poses a significant risk to sensitive cargo like precision equipment, artworks, and fresh foods, and requires prompt attention. However, traditional methods made it difficult to quickly confirm transportation conditions and there were also challenges in maintaining communication when crossing borders.
NEXTY LocaTrack: Solving the Challenges
NEXTY LocaTrack is a solution that enables customers to easily check data such as location information, temperature, humidity, impact, etc. collected by the tracking device with sensing functions through a dashboard.
The NEXTY LocaTrack*1 dashboard, jointly developed by NEXTY Electronics and NSW Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “NSW”), uploads collected data to the cloud and displays a map of cargo location and graphs of sensor data via API integration. This allows for rapid understanding of quality and status during transportation, and in the case of an anomaly, an email alert is sent. Furthermore, by leveraging the memo function, it is possible to record precautions and events that occur during transport, supporting quality maintenance measures and handling of irregular occurrences.
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Qualcomm”) provides a compact tracking device that can be easily installed in containers or cartons. Equipped with an eSIM*2 that supports communication in approximately 200 countries and regions,*3 the device automatically connects even when crossing borders, enabling seamless global communication. During air transport, the device automatically switches to flight mode.
*1: The NEXTY LocaTrack dashboard is currently available only in Japanese. English support will be considered based on demand, though the schedule remains undecided.
*2 eSIM: An embedded Subscriber Identity Module integrated into a device. Communication is possible without physically exchanging SIM cards.
*3: Excluding China and Russia.
Our Strengths
As an official distributor of Qualcomm, we offer extensive knowledge and technical support regarding these devices. We are also collaborating with NSW to develop the dashboard and continuously improve its functionality based on customer needs.
