Nexxiot, a supply chain technology provider, has released a new multipurpose Vector sensor to monitor brakes, hatches, and doors on railcars.
Specifically, the sensor complements a growing portfolio of Nexxiot Asset Intelligence technology.
The device measures the status in real-time to provide data on hand brakes, access hatches, and train doors. It connects wirelessly to the Nexxiot Globehopper gateway using Bluetooth LE (BLE), and the data is sent to the Nexxiot Connect Intelligent Cloud for processing and analysis.
“Both rail operators and cargo owners benefit from this innovation. With increased attention on safety, compliance, and resource security, Vector sensor offers multiple stakeholders the opportunity to monitor processes and demonstrate to their clients that they take maximum care when it comes to safety and cargo quality,” commented Paul Wielsch, CTO of Nexxiot.
