Telit assists Brazilian companies in tracking lost luggage on flights
[ad_1]
Aviation industry leader Recominte recently announced that Telit Wireless Communications Co., Ltd., the world’s leading provider of high-quality M2M (machine-to-machine) modules, value-added services and solutions, provides M2M modules for its high-tech portable tracking device tracking tags. Recominte’s innovative solution can track baggage on the ground and in transit.
Tracking tags solve the growing problems faced by airlines and their passengers. According to a report from the International Aeronautics and Telecommunications Association, the number of mishandled luggage per thousand passengers last year was 6.96 pieces, which means that 21.8 million pieces of luggage were mishandled globally in 2013. Delays and lost luggage cost the airline industry more than US$2 billion in the last year alone. Despite some improvements, passengers who transfer at least once are most likely not to arrive on the same plane as their luggage. Nearly 50% of delays or missing luggage occurred on connecting flights.
So far, due to strict aviation regulations and the strict supervision of electronic and wireless communication devices, the use of tracking devices to solve this problem has been a difficult problem. Recominte’s solution is to automatically shut down during takeoff, and then automatically turn on after landing. The tracking tag has built-in Telit GL865-QUAD and JN3 modules to provide the best tracking solution in the industry.
Telit GL865-QUAD is a GSM/GPRS module whose 4GSM bandwidth can be used worldwide. The product has a very compact design and a wide applicable temperature range. It is the best platform for high-throughput m2m applications and mobile data devices. The design of integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and serial multiplexer expands the function of the application without increasing the cost. Telit JN3 is a GPS module that can be easily bundled with other Telit modules to provide a cost-effective and comprehensive tracking solution. The combination of GPS and cellular connectivity allows the solution to have maximum tracking sensitivity, even in complex environments such as indoors, garages and urban high-rise buildings, so it is most suitable for installation in luggage transported by car, train, bus or airplane .
The tracking tag is small in size, portable, and has a battery life of up to 100 hours under good GPS receiving conditions. The product is also extremely sturdy and has passed 9 endurance tests (MIL-STD-810G standard) to prove that it can withstand vibration, shock, large temperature range, high humidity and low air pressure. Tracking tags can also record data on sudden falls and ambient temperature, which are important factors in determining damaged parts of luggage or cargo, and are also important when transporting sensitive goods such as electronic devices or medicines.
Paulo Schiphorst, Chief Technology Officer of the Tracking Label Project, said: “Telit provides the most comprehensive module products on the market today. Their technology makes tracking labels possible.”
Ricardo Buranello, Marketing Director of Telitramics, pointed out: “The solution provided by Recominte is a model of need to meet wisdom. The tracking label is a revolutionary product that has the potential to succeed on a global scale.”
