California-based Mobilogix, a provider of cellular IoT products, has launched the Bat-Sur battery-operated global tracking device using low power LTE Cat-M1 technology.

Optimised for single-use tracking of premium cargo, its common use cases include periodic and motion-initiated location tracking and monitoring of assets at package-level across supply chain and logistics networks.

Bat-Sur leverages smart design to improve battery economy. Power is supplied by two AA field-replaceable alkaline batteries.

The device uses an accelerometer and Nist traceable temperature and humidity sensors for precise temperature monitoring in critical use cases. GNSS and wifi location-as-a-service ensure asset location in all scenarios. LED indicators and an operator button provide visibility and control.

It is firmware-over-the-air ready for remote update and configuration. User-defined reporting intervals and alerts can be managed via FusionIoT or third-party platforms on AWS IoT Core.

“With the release of the Mobilogix Bat-Sur, customers with reverse logistics challenges now have cost-effective tracking without compromise to sensor quality or location capability in all scenarios,” said Charlie Williams, executive vice president at Mobilogix. “Bat-Sur is field serviceable, so while targeting tracking scenarios where reverse logistics provides workflow challenges, it also doubles as a reusable solution that could be used repeatedly over time.”

Mobilogix is accepting Bat-Sur pre-orders and welcomes engagements with those seeking scalable options for their asset tracking needs. It can be white labelled and user branded.

Mobilogix provides IoT asset optimisation and management. The company’s products are deployed by agriculture, automotive, construction, healthcare, industrial and transportation companies to track, monitor and manage their assets with real-time actionable data.

Mobilogix is headquartered in Irvine, California, and has offices in Brazil, India, Hong Kong and China.

• Mobilogix has also announced Bat-NXT, a battery-operated global tracking device using low power LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT technology with embedded Bluetooth. It employs ambient light and Nist traceable sensors for precise temperature and humidity monitoring, and has been optimised for dry and refrigerated supply chain use cases at a package level. It is encased in a sealed IP67 enclosure with an external sensor pod for increased responsiveness to changing environmental conditions.
