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.”

Powerfleet, Inc. announced that its operating subsidiary, Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Pointer), has deployed hundreds of IoT-enabled defibrillators in Israel with the Magen David Adom Ambulance Company. Defibrillators have been installed across the country in telephone booths, lottery stalls and supermarkets as part of a $2 million deployment program.

As part of the agreement, Pointer engineered a smart device to install in select locations across Israel. Each device is equipped with a Pointer transmitter, which provides the defibrillators’ location, temperature and battery health to MDA response centers. When the flashing LED button is triggered, the MDA response center remotely unlocks the case which allows users to access the device even in the dark.

Any person, even without medical training, can call MDA’s 24-hour call center to receive immediate guidance and directions to the nearest defibrillator. Each case has a unique serial number and can be identified via the remote-activated LED lighting system.

The defibrillator is programmed to provide in-depth instructions for use. The device uses two electrodes to provide a shock to assist patients experiencing ventricular fibrillation or irregular heart activity. It is intended to give paramedics additional time to arrive at the site and provide more sophisticated medical support. A number of lives have been saved by providing ambulatory teams the additional time to transport patients to properly equipped hospitals.

When the ambulance arrives, the paramedic uses an ECG device to examine the patient. The heart test results are transmitted via cellular communication directly to the MDA center as well as to the doctor waiting at the hospital, which allows the medical staff time to prepare for the required procedure and save valuable time.

The solution also incorporates a front-facing camera that records the incident for viewing by the hospital staff via MDA’s Call Center. This provides hospital staff with a better understanding of the patient’s unique circumstances and allows them to allocate resources as necessary to treat patients.

Ilan Goldstein, CEO of Pointer, notes that MDA and Pointer are evaluating the possibility of expanding the partnership abroad and offering the model in other countries. MDA manages a fleet of ambulances and other emergency vehicles to provide advanced medical assistance.

“MDA and Pointer have collaboratively developed an advanced mobile medical device architecture that employs IoT capabilities to provide top-notch control and monitoring to support real-time response to emergency situations. We are encouraged by our partnership and look forward to expanding the use of our unique IoT solutions in Israel and globally,” commented Goldstein.
