Emerson Launches New GO Real-Time 4G/5G Global Trackers for Cold Chain

BERLIN — April 5, 2022 – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) announced today at Fruit Logistica 2022 the release of its newest real-time trackers, the GO real-time 4G/5G global and global plus. These latest innovations also leverage Cat-M, Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology to deliver real-time data for customers shipping high-value products across the globe.

As the cellular industry experiences a dramatic phase-down in 2G and 3G networks, Emerson is providing reliable connectivity through new technologies such as Cat-M and NBIoT (narrow band IoT), which are derivatives of 4G LTE. Major carriers have already rolled out extensive infrastructure to accommodate these new networks enabling expansive growth of IoT applications. Emerson is aligned with these carriers and is working closely with our providers and customers to provide a smooth technology transition.

The new GO real-time 4G/5G global & global plus trackers can monitor in-transit conditions such as temperature, location, light, and humidity for up to 90 days of continuous operation. Ultra-low temperatures (down to -80C) can be monitored with optional and detachable temperature probes. To help ensure optimal connectivity across the globe, the trackers are equipped with two SIM cards, both of which can connect using multiple modes (Cat-M, NBIoT, or GSM). The GO real-time 4G/5G global plus comes with additional battery capacity and the option to be configured with additional sensors for added benefit, such as CO². With rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the trackers can be retrieved and used again on multiple shipments. Oversight, our cloud-based online software platform enables trackers to be configured to notify users in real-time via text or email if any deviation of temperature sensitive conditions arise during shipment.

“Emerson provides real-time data and insights that allow our customers to take meaningful action,” said Amy Childress, vice president marketing and sales, cargo for Emerson’s cold chain business. “With the phase-out of older cellular networks and the growth of IoT technologies, it is imperative that we leverage these new networks for our customers. Whether they are transporting food, healthcare items or other valuable cargo, our technology and insights enable our customer’s shipments to be delivered with the highest possible quality.”
