IRVING, Texas, Jan 05, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
OnAsset Intelligence, a leading provider of machine-to-machine (M2M)
wireless asset tracking solutions, today announced that United Cargo,
the world’s largest belly carrier, is now accepting the OnAsset SENTRY
400 FlightSafe(R) device for transport on its entire mainline jet fleet of
more than 700 aircraft, linking more than 370 worldwide destinations.
The OnAsset device brings shipment tracking and security to a new
dimension: providing location, environmental sensing, virtual
security-fencing and temperature monitoring to cargo shipments
transported on United’s unparalleled network. “It’s a potent combination
for our customers,” said Robbie Anderson, President United Cargo.
“The SENTRY 400 FlightSafe delivers peace of mind, and enhanced
visibility over several of our key products: UASecure high value,
QuickPak and EXP express offerings as well as TempControl,” he added.
The SENTRY 400 is a highly advanced wireless, personal electronic device
(PED) that includes multiple sensors for temperature, humidity,
pressure, shock, location and vibration. The device also contains
patented intelligence known as FlightSafe(R). FlightSafe(R) uses multiple
modes of sensing and proprietary logic to automatically suppress the
device’s wireless radios to an “off” mode- ensuring safe and FAA-
compliant operation during flight. Intelligent radio suppression is a
patented feature and unique to SENTRY, making it the only wireless
device capable of turning its radio on and off without human
intervention.
“Visibility to the condition of environmentally sensitive cargo as it
moves through the supply chain helps companies proactively intervene in
situations that may impact the quality of the cargo prior to reaching
its destination,” said Adam Crossno, President and CEO of OnAsset
Intelligence. “We are very excited to be working with United Airlines on
the acceptance of SENTRY for air cargo to provide a solution that
maintains its radio-off- mode for aircraft safety, while also providing
automatic activation in order to safely transmit data logs to customers
when the device is on the ground.”
