Shanghai-based Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) has developed a GPS asset tracker for the smart logistics market.

Running efficient logistics is crucial to business operation, and the enterprise can benefit from the insights of instant resources management, including the dynamics of vehicles, goods and labour.

USI’s UT-1 GPS asset tracker is powered by IoT technology, integrating multiple features such as precise positioning, low power consumption, diversity sensors and controllable costs. In addition to smart logistics, the tracker is also being implemented in the smart city and industries segments.

The tracker uses an LPWAN module (NB-IoT Cat M), integrated microprocessors, Bluetooth and GPS. It is designed with temperature, humidity, light, air pressure and accelerometer sensors, combined high-efficiency antennas, power management, and robust mechanical structure.

The durability assures it can be operated under extreme weather conditions, allowing seamless data transmitted back from each GPS tracker to the user’s cloud to improve logistics efficiency and asset management.

USI specialises in designing wireless communication products based on its design experience, especially in hardware, software, RF, acoustic integration, industrial design, quality validation and manufacturing.

Bordin Lin, product manager of USI, said the firm offered GPS asset tracking to help enterprises make optimal and precise decisions by the insights from real-time logistics dynamics.

USI provides design, manufacturing, miniaturisation, industrial software and hardware services, and material procurement, logistics and maintenance services. With Asteelflash, USI has 27 sales, production and service locations across Asia, Europe, Americas and Africa, and offers products in the sectors of wireless communication, computer and storage, consumer, industrial, medical, and automotive electronics worldwide. USI is a subsidiary of ASE Technology Holding, a provider of semiconductor manufacturing services in assembly and test.
