Let There Be Light
When we designed the Space10X this was not on the list.
The light sensor window between the magnets, on the back of the device, was design to alert the asset owner when it was removed. However something interesting is now happening.
The Space10X also doubles as a wireless, long-life battery operated security device for electrical enclosures. Enclosures where the asset manager wants to know if/when the door has been opened.
Just in the Nick of Time
We apologise in advance for the shameless self promotion of this blog post, but it had to be shared.
One of our zzoota mining services clients recently shared that our wireless Space10X IoT device just saved the day!
They were notified (via our zzootaTrack IoT platform) that their important asset was delivered to a BHP mining site - when it was meant to be at another location.
When Thoughts Become Things
Thoughts become things.
Never before has it been more relevant than today.
A world where creating has become common. Where an idea can turn into something in a matter of seconds.
I wonder if things are changing. Where ‘thoughts’ are now the new competitive advantage due to creating becoming easier to execute.
Maybe a shift in the value of creating space to think is really what matters for a company to be successful. Less of doing without the strategy, the thought, the purpose.
How Wireless IOT Tech is Changing Waste Management
Earlier in 2019 we welcomed Wanless Waste Management as a valued zzoota client.
Not long ago it was impossible. Being able to know where a hook bin was located, how long it was onsite, when it left the holding yard and how many kilometers it had traveled…even knowing if the bin was on a safe angle or had a significant impact. This is all now achievable.
These industrial waste bins don’t have a power source. They are a non-powered asset that moves. Perfect for the Space10X IoT GPS device.
Time Zone
Technology is moving fast.
How asset owners calculate utilisation and fleet efficiency is changing.
When you blend geo-fencing (a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area) with wireless asset tracking devices like the Space10X things start to change.
The asset owners can now be more informed than ever before. Battery technology and smart firmware gives years of charge, so no external power source required.
Being able to track any asset at any time is truely awesome. Ultimately companies that offer this will be able to give next-level customer experience.
Data to WOW Your Customers
We are being swamped by data.
Companies around the world are capturing more data than ever before.
It’s a sea of information that is creating confusion which impacts execution. I’ve recently been thinking about what is the ultimate outcome of capturing all this data. It has to be about our customers.
The new competitive advantage is using this data to change behaviour internally so that externally our customers are wow’d.
Equipment Tracking & Asset Utilisation
Times are changing fast. Lately we have been speaking to global companies about true asset utilisation.
Previously it’s been hard to monitor. Companies are locking up capital in assets because it’s been difficult to get the facts.
We are running projects on asset ‘movement’. Meaning actually monitoring the physical asset when it’s moving or not moving. The results are exciting.
Dr. Gladys West, the Black Woman who Invented the GPS Honored by U.S. Airforce at Pentagon
ARTICLE BY CARMEN ROXANNA.
DID YOU KNOW THAT A BLACK WOMAN FROM VIRGINIA WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN CREATING A CONVENIENCE WE USE EVERY DAY AND ALMOST CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT? YES INDEED, DR. GLADYS WEST INVENTED THE GPS OR THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM AND HAS FINALLY RECEIVED THE RECOGNITION SHE DESERVES BY BEING INDUCTED INTO THE AIR FORCE SPACE AND MISSILE PIONEERS HALL OF FAME BY THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE DURING A CEREMONY HELD AT THE PENTAGON THIS WEEK.
Space10X is About to Arrive
Our wireless long-life GPS tracking device is about to launch with several clients waiting patiently!
We are excited to be bringing this to market. It’s going to change how asset owners manage their fleets. Equipment without a power source (or one that’s hard to access) can now be monitored by location, create geo-fencing for zone reporting, knowing when an asset is moving and dramatically improving asset utilisation.
