KLOG Transport Solutions provides cargo tracking across Europe using ORBCOMM technology

KLOG Transport Solutions and ORBCOMM have joined forces to improve cargo visibility across Europe using satellite IoT technology. This collaboration aims to enhance data-driven logistics and meet strict supply chain key performance indicators (KPIs) for industries like apparel retail.
ORBCOMM’s OGx technology has empowered KLOG to fulfill increasing demands for visibility and secure deliveries, especially for just-in-time shipments. By utilizing ORBCOMM’s satellite-enabled IoT solution, KLOG can now bridge visibility gaps in routes with limited cellular coverage, ensuring that cargo is tracked effectively.
The successful trial of ORBCOMM’s solution on major European rail routes for a key client highlighted the significant improvement in visibility throughout the journey. Marta Cardoso, the General Director of KLOG Transport Solutions, emphasized that ORBCOMM’s satellite asset tracking solution exceeded their expectations, providing superior coverage compared to other options tested.
According to David Roscoe, the President of Satellite IoT at ORBCOMM, this partnership represents a milestone in the company’s commitment to enhancing global supply chain visibility. By leveraging satellite connectivity and purpose-built devices like the SC 1000, ORBCOMM and KLOG are enabling smarter and more resilient logistics operations across Europe.
The SC 1000 device, powered by ORBCOMM’s OGx satellite IoT technology, is designed for seamless integration with logistics platforms, offering intelligent global visibility. This device, which is entirely solar-powered, eliminates the cost and complexity barriers associated with traditional satellite terminals, making it a cost-effective solution for enhancing cargo visibility.
ORBCOMM’s comprehensive solution portfolio and 30 years of experience in IoT technology have positioned the company as a leader in empowering customers to make informed, data-driven decisions. With a diverse customer base spanning various industries like transportation, supply chain, heavy equipment, maritime, natural resources, and government, ORBCOMM plays a crucial role in optimizing operations and maximizing profitability for businesses worldwide.
