The world’s first fully trackable protective case is set to be unveiled at Offshore Europe exhibition on 3rd September 2013 by UK specialist packaging manufacturer GWP Protective.
The innovative new case, trade name Tracker Case, offers the ability to geographically locate high value items in shipment, in real time, using a varied range of GPS-based tracking technology, if necessary without the handler even knowing that the case is being tracked.
Ian Heskins, Sales Director of GWP said, “as well as having to provide a high level of physical protection for high-value and sensitive equipment, we realised that GWP’s range of cases could potentially also provide protection against loss and theft. We also know that a number manufacturers and shippers of valuable items would welcome the ability to track their shipments, in real time and globally, via combined GPS and satellite communication-based technologies.”
The state of the art tracking technology can be fully integrated into all of GWP’s protective cases during the design process so it is possible to produce a trackable case that has absolutely no evidence of the tracker visible to the outside world. The ability to track shipments covertly will appeal not only to those shipping high-value industrial equipment items, such as specialist manufacturers and rental companies but also to organisations shipping antiquities and fine art around the world such as museums and art galleries.
The online tracking software is accessible from any internet-connected computer and users can log in and view all their Tracker Cases simultaneously. A visual indication of the route that the case has taken and a history of case movements can be provided to the user who can also be sent alerts if a case moves into or out of a pre-determined area by using the software’s geo-fencing feature.
