HERE Technologies, a location data and technology platform, and Actility, the global leader in IoT connectivity, have partnered to provide a new, cutting-edge IoT tracking service for mapping and location data management based on LoRaWAN® networks.

Various items can get lost or stolen in large industrial, warehousing sites. In cases where inventories rely on manual input, assets aren’t always stored efficiently. Finding an asset in a warehouse and optimizing stock is difficult enough; tracking it across the world is another matter entirely. These obstacles can be solved with HERE Tracking and ThingPark – the Actility IoT network management platform can address, offering an end-to-end, customizable solution to track assets and optimize the supply chain of any industrial facility. The focus of this solution is on critical assets for customers’ operations such as Returnable Shipping Assets (RSAs) or Returnable Industrial Packaging (RIPs) including rays, racks, pallets, crates, tubs, bins, containers, forklifts, industrial tools and heavy mobile machinery.

“With HERE Tracking as a foundation, we can now offer our customers one single interface to manage all their devices. This will dramatically improve their Life Cycle Management as all costs related to lost item replacement or search for misplaced items are now becoming obsolete. Together, HERE and Actility are seamlessly offering indoor and outdoor asset tracking,” said Olivier Hersent, CEO, Actility.

“In teaming up with Actility, we have found a trusted partner with whom we can offer a full end-to-end tracking solution that can also be customized to fit specific customers’ needs. We are proud to be offering this solution with a leader in the LoRaWAN space and look forward to helping customers gain enhanced visibility of their supply chains,” commented Ajatshatru Kotwal, Director, Product Management, HERE Technologies.
