The US Seattle, Washington-headquartered Cargo Signal is a sensor-based logistics platform that uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to improve decision making, tracking and efficiency of air cargo.

The devices transmit real time data when in cellular range on everything from location and light through to precise temperature and humidity readings, reports AJOT.

Three service levels, visibility, quality and security & quality, are available. All service levels include the use of a sensor-based tracking device, and visibility of the shipment through web and mobile applications.

Live light and temperature data, 24/7 enhanced condition monitoring and notification from the Cargo Signal command centre, and data summaries post-shipment are available with quality and security & quality products. The security & quality product also offers proactive notifications in case of route deviation.

Daniel Johnson, head of product, IAG Cargo, commented: "We understand that our customers, especially those dealing with high-value or temperature-sensitive cargo, need access to important data throughout the shipment journey. This partnership with Cargo Signal complements our premium products such as Constant Climate, Critical and Secure to provide a comprehensive monitoring service with unrivalled visibility over shipments across each step of the supply chain."

Randy Gould, global director, Cargo Signal, said: "By bringing together IAG Cargo's world-class products and global network with our innovative sensor-based logistics platform, we're unlocking new value for our customers and giving them greater control over their supply chains. The accuracy of the data available enables our customers to act with more speed and confidence than ever before."
