- Fast and simple installation: A patent-pending snap-spin-secure mechanism allowing quick installation using only one rivet, reducing set-up time and costs.
- 10+ year battery life: The extended battery life, enhanced by solar-harvesting capabilities, ensures long-term functionality with minimal maintenance.
IoTPASS offers flexible, per-trip pricing and one-way logistics tracking, providing shippers with the option to invest in it for added peace of mind. Scheduled for global release through Carrier’s established BluEdge Partners telematics reseller network in Q4 2024, IoTPASS will enhance supply chain visibility and improve operational efficiency through innovative technology.
