Internet of Things (IoT) company UnaBiz has lately made a significant stride in asset tracking. It has introduced Sigfox Atlas Sparks Beta and is an addition to its geolocation suite. It is believed asset tracking in the supply chain and logistics industry will revolutionize.
The supply chain and logistics market has been continually seeking ways to improve asset fleet visibility. Companies manage hundreds of thousands of assets. Cost-effective and accurate tracking is important. Sigfox Atlas Sparks is promising enhanced accuracy without escalating costs.
Sigfox Atlas Sparks is a next-generation geolocation service. It leverages patented Machine Learning algorithms to enhance the capabilities of existing location-based services. It is aimed at customers managing large fleets of asset trackers. It combines Sigfox-only low-cost trackers with a smaller number of Smart WiFi trackers to improve overall accuracy.
The company equips 20% of the fleet with Smart WiFi trackers and 80% with simple Sigfox-only trackers. Its system aggregates data in the cloud. Machine Learning algorithms thereafter analyze the data to accurately locate even the simpler trackers based on radio signatures.
The innovative approach ensures mixed fleet of devices can also achieve accuracy levels. The method enhances data accuracy and simultaneously also optimizes the entire tracking capabilities of the fleet without incurring high costs.
Sigfox Atlas Sparks is more than technical capabilities. It shows how Sigfox technology is evolving to support Massive IoT at a lower overall cost. It applies “Less is More” principle and this is the reason its service empowers asset owners to extend tracking reach and collect data from low-cost assets like pallets, crates and parcels with the use of Sigfox-only trackers.
