Powerfleet Launches Vista, an Advanced Vehicle Video Solution with AI Capabilities
New Video Technology Enables Safer, More Efficient Commercial Vehicle Management
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., June 22, 2021 — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT) a global leader and provider of subscription-based wireless IoT and M2M solutions for securing, controlling, tracking and managing high-value enterprise assets, today announced the launch of Vista, a best-in-class in-vehicle video solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and proactively manage risky driving situations across fleets. With Vista, Powerfleet is expanding its image technology portfolio, which includes the patent-pending LV-710 freight camera for trailers and containers and the CP4 System designed for the industrial truck market.
The global demand for dashboard and 360-degree camera technology is growing due to a considerable rise in the number of vehicle related accidents, thefts, and “nuclear verdicts” (jury awards of more than $10 million) in the trucking industry. The National Highway Safety Administration (NTSA) reports that an estimated 38,680 deaths in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2020. Up to 96% of all auto accidents are a result of human error, which further emphasizes the need for fleets to invest in technology to maintain the safety of drivers, pedestrians, and assets.
Recorded video events provide additional contextual insights around hard braking and turning events, vehicle accidents as well as vehicle and content theft. Easy to install and operate, Vista delivers real-time, high-definition video from both road and driver facing cameras to bolster safety and training programs, help exonerate drivers, prevent accidents, and lower insurance costs.
“We have seen strong demand from customers in our vertical and geographic markets for additional video solutions that provide visual proof to improve safety and operations,” said Elizabeth Elkins, Chief Product Officer at Powerfleet. “As a leading IoT solutions provider, it made sense to add Vista to our portfolio of technology solutions focused on keeping drivers safe, protecting assets, and reducing insurance premiums. Whether you have a fleet of over-the-road trucks, cars or service and delivery vans, Vista can play a valuable part of a world-class safety program. The Vista video platform supports safe driving with the ability to auto-detect unsafe driving conditions while delivering real-time driver audio feedback and warnings to help correct risky driving behaviors as they occur.”
Vista is a flexible video solution that can operate stand-alone or as an integrated part of any fleet management system. It leverages the latest processor technology for edge-processing and future proofing and can be installed with minimal configuration. Vista wireless connectivity supports 4G LTE and has built-in Wi-Fi that supports auxiliary cameras for 360° views. Operations managers can stream live video, download video events, and access all cameras through a secure and comprehensive portal.
Other key features include:
• Live streaming: check on the conditions of the road, cab and your assets at any time
• Real time drive alerting (in-cab feature): cameras will notify driver of safety events in real time
• Video history review: all videos on the SD card can be accessed remotely or locally at anytime
• Parking mode: cameras will record any events that occur following sudden jolts when the vehicle is turned off
• Event-based notifications: including harsh acceleration or braking, distracted driving traits, harsh cornering, speeding and more

White Oak Transportation Selects Powerfleet to Improve Asset Visibility
Long Service Life and Low-Maintenance Solution Chosen to Help White Oak Deliver on Customer Commitments
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT), a global leader and provider of subscription-based wireless IoT and M2M solutions for securing, controlling, tracking and managing high-value enterprise assets, has been selected by White Oak Transportation, Inc., a leading provider of brokerage, dedicated contract carriage, and truckload carriage based in Decatur, Alabama, to supply its trailer tracking solution to their 875-trailer fleet. Powerfleet’s solar and supercap powered LV-500 combined with its cloud-based software application will provide White Oak Transportation better asset visibility for improved customer satisfaction and operational efficiencies.
By leveraging Powerfleet’s LV-500, White Oak will be able to upgrade from 3G to 4G/LTE wireless service to ensure continuity of coverage and complete visibility over its fleet. Moreover, the trailer tracking solution will support White Oak Transportation’s commitments with contracted trailer pools at customer locations. With trailers moving to and from facilities and sometimes moved by foreign carrier’s drivers, it’s easy to lose track or misplace trailers. Using Powerfleet’s reporting dashboards and analytics to run automated yard checks, White Oak can share trailer location and other key performance indicators (KPIs) with customers to provide them with peace of mind that they are meeting contracted pool requirements.
“The level of data provided by the LV-500 ensures that we gain increased visibility into the fleet and can prioritize driver safety while delivering excellence in client service,” explained Ryan Waller, Vice President of White Oak Transportation. “As some of our contracted trailers stay at our customers’ sites for extended periods, access to accurate usage information is also critical in allowing us to improve preventative maintenance planning.”
The Powerfleet LV-500 delivers frequent reporting on the status and location of trailers through Powerfleet’s cloud-based application and integration into White Cloud’s Transportation Management System. A self-contained device, the LV-500 is dual-powered using solar-powered supercapacitors and long-lasting primary batteries, and can be installed in 10 minutes or less. Its rugged design provides extended years of service and a lower total cost of ownership. The LV-500 solution will help lower costs associated with underutilized trailers by enabling White Oak to expeditiously re-allocate them and by reducing the time required for drivers and yard workers searching for available trailers.
“With the 3G sunset around the corner, White Oak Transportation wanted to upgrade its old devices to a reliable LTE technology solution that will help them monitor and analyze their assets,” said Mark Stanton, GM of Supply Chain at Powerfleet. “Employing our patent pending LV-500 solution addresses the many challenges of having trailers offsite for long periods of time and is ideal for ongoing fleet maintenance and management.”

Comasco Selects Cellocator by Powerfleet IoT Solution for Global Crane Parts Visibility
Solution Delivers Real-time Tracing and Inventory Management for Increased Optimization and Cost Savings
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., April 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cellocator by Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT), a global leader and provider of subscription-based wireless Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions for securing, controlling, tracking, and managing high-value enterprise assets, provided Comasco with an IoT solution for real-time tracing and inventory management of their rented crane parts.
Comasco, a leading importer of mechanical engineering tools and equipment for building and construction, decided to modernize its crane business with IoT technology to gain better visibility, utilization, and security over the equipment. Previously, Comasco followed a labor-intensive process for keeping track of expensive rented equipment. By leveraging Cellocator by Powerfleet’s solution for real-time tracking and inventory management, Comasco now has a fully automated process that provides complete visibility of its rented assets at various job sites and regardless of harsh weather conditions.
Cellocator by Powerfleet’s IoT crane solution integrates hardware units, software, and interfaces with a third-party enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, making the knowledge transfer completely seamless. The rugged IP69K CelloSense devices are attached to the crane parts, while the CelloTrack Nano hub is located at the entrance of the warehouse. The combined solution uses algorithmic logic to create a virtual gate that recognizes the ordered crane parts, automatically registering them in the ERP system, and authorizing their exit from the warehouse yard. By having this information, Comasco has complete security over crane parts at the storage yard and at each job site.
The chain of custody of crane parts is a complicated journey with the equipment being delivered to the job site, the assembly and disassembly of parts, and shipment back to the warehouse. The Cellocator by Powerfleet IoT solution enables on-the-fly alerts for proactive actions and complete visibility through Software-as-a-Service local and global map views of all crane parts.
“We are externally proud to be pioneers in our field by bringing the logistics management of crane parts into the IoT age,” said Haim Danon, Chairman of Comasco. “The Cellocator by Powerfleet solution was tailor-made to our needs, enabling us to have complete transparency and see what is happening with every crane part at any given moment, including real-time status of our inventory.”
Avi Magid, President of Pointer and Cellocator by Powerfleet, added: “We are thrilled to be leading this innovative project. When renting crane equipment, large, heavy parts need to be shipped from the warehouse to the customer’s site, and then back to the crane company’s warehouse, making its management a very challenging task that requires many different resources. Our IoT solution enables Comasco to be in constant control of their assets, while increasing their productivity and efficiency.”
