IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company
helping businesses and people track, monitor and recover vital
assets with real-time visibility and insights, today announces the
release of its new iOn™ Xtreme Temperature Tag, the newest smart
sensor tag addition to the iOn Tag product family. The smart sensor
tag can pair with a thermocouple probe* to monitor the
environmental temperatures of assets in conditions as low as -270
and up to 400 degrees Celsius, making the device ideal for
tracking and monitoring shipments of pharmaceuticals, vaccines,
biological materials and liquid nitrogen.
When affixed to an asset or container, the tag captures
proximity location and ambient temperature readings at a
user-defined logging rate which is easily configurable from an
intuitive user interface. It then transmits that data via
proprietary Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signal to CalAmp SC
iOn™ gateway devices—from the time the asset is in the
warehouse, through transport by land, sea or air, until it reaches
its final destination.
Through built-in device integration with the CalAmp Telematics
Cloud™ (CTC) platform, the captured data is securely communicated
to the cloud in real time, making the information available to
guide critical business decisions at the edge and enabling
end-to-end supply chain visibility over temperature-sensitive
goods. Purpose built for telematics, fleet and supply chain needs,
the CTC platform offers pre-integrated devices, device security,
global cellular connectivity and sophisticated device management.
An innovative marketplace enables new use cases on existing
third-party devices. Using CTC, users can also manage the
Xtreme Temperature Tag and other CalAmp supply chain gateways, tags
and disposable devices and link their data with any existing supply
chain management solution thanks to CalAmp's powerful application
programming interface (API) development support.
CalAmp partner, Overhaul, a leader in supply-chain visibility
for global enterprises, has already deployed CalAmp's Xtreme
Temperature Tags as part of their full-stack cold chain
tracking solutions for pharmaceutical customers, providing
end-to-end real-time visibility, security, and integrity of all
time and temperature sensitive shipments.
Comprehensive temperature monitoring enables Overhaul to
ensure the quality, integrity, safety and compliance of their
customers' pharmaceutical shipments including the safe transport of
COVID-19 vaccines.
"Life sciences companies entrust us to facilitate the safe and
efficient transport of essential shipments and provide visibility
where companies need it most; end-to-end and in real-time. This
includes life-saving pharmaceuticals, mission-critical vaccines and
biological materials needed to advance new therapies and medicines.
This extreme temperature tag provides our customers with new levels
of visibility and greater confidence in the supply chain of highly
perishable materials," said Barry
Conlon, CEO and founder of Overhaul.
"When companies transport sensitive products and materials,
they need real-time insight into shipment locations and
ambient temperatures to identify and respond quickly to any
deviations. We developed this Xtreme Temperature Tag to
provide visibility and actionable intelligence—at the edge—so our
partners and customers can act with agility, mitigate risks and
protect these vital assets that so many lives depend upon," said
Jeff Clark, senior vice president of
product management at CalAmp.
As a single-use device, the iOn Xtreme Temperature Tag offers a
long-lasting battery and configurable logging rate. It is also
shock and vibration resistant. To discover CalAmp's full portfolio
