International automotive technology supplier ERM Advanced Telematics, is expanding its activities from telematics solutions for locating and tracking vehicles, drivers and passengers, to a complimentary field of IoT (Internet of Things).
The company is introducing its IoTLink line of products, which is based on technology that was specifically developed at ERM.
The new sensing solutions use sensors and gateways that enable continuous tracking of assets and monitoring their status according to pre-defined parameters. The products emit constant status signals, as well as alerts of any breach of the pre-defined parameters.
The products emit constant status signals, as well as alerts of any breach of the pre-defined parameters. In addition, the IoTLink products communicate between themselves using BLE (Bluetooth low energy) technology.
IoTLink products enable tracking, locating and monitoring of assets that are not necessarily in or on the vehicle, such as items that are being transported in crates or are in storage, in containers, in transit, in fields, etc, alongside assets such as activated machines and refrigerators for industrial or home, which use equipment that requires long-distance monitoring.
Eitan Kirshenboim, CMO and business development manager at ERM Advanced Telematics, said, ‘We designed a strategy of combining the connected vehicles technology with asset monitoring, while offering a natural interface between them.’
