Visualizing the "invisible risks" during transportation.

Are you experiencing problems such as damage, deterioration in quality, loss, or theft?

1. I am worried about the possibility of theft or unauthorized opening during transport.
2. Even if a quality accident occurs, the cause is unknown.
3. The responsibility becomes unclear among the transportation company, warehouse, and the company itself.
4. Even if a customer requests an explanation, there is no evidence.
5. Even if we want to develop measures to prevent recurrence, there is no data to support it.

These risks are particularly serious for companies that handle high-value products or highly confidential cargo.

"If a transportation problem occurs, can you explain it?"
— The biggest problem with transportation problemsis that you don't know "when, where, and what happened."

The three main risks that can occur during transportation

During unloading I dropped my luggage... ▼	Temperature deviations in items requiring low-temperature management. Deterioration of freshness of pharmaceuticals and food products etc. ▼	My luggage is "missing"... ▼
In precision instruments and medical devices Great losses	Due to "temperature deviation" during transport Potential for quality degradation	Loss/theft during transport. Theft methods are also becoming more sophisticated. Conventional measures alone have limitations.

"The actual losses are far greater than we imagined!"

In cargo accidents,
Damage and quality issues account for a large proportion.
・ High-value cargo can result in losses ranging from several million to tens of millions of yen.
- In some cases, it can be difficult to obtain insurance coverage if the cause cannot be identified.
This presents a challenge.

"Measures" taken by "Macnica Tracks®" when the "three major risks" occur.

Transportation risks, quality deterioration countermeasures, transportation quality management, accident cause identification, logistics DX, visualization during transportation, cargo monitoring, real-time monitoring, theft prevention, temperature and humidity control, methods for visualizing transportation quality, methods for preventing quality deterioration during transportation, transportation risk countermeasures for high-value cargo, methods for identifying the causes of accidents

With Macnica Tracks®,Real-time monitoring of "impact," "opening," "temperature," "humidity," and "location information" during transport.
"When," "Where," and "What happened?"This can be proven with data.

Effects and countermeasures for implementing Macnica Tracks®

Implementing Macnica Tracks® will change the following aspects of your challenges:

item	Before (assignment)	After (After installing Macnica Tracks)
◆ Determining the cause of the accident (Damage/loss/theft/temperature and humidity abnormalities, etc.)	× Almost impossible (no records)	〇"When, where, and what happened?" Records impact, opening, temperature/humidity, location, and date/time. ⇒Real-time notifications enable a rapid initial response.
◆ Accountability	× Ambiguous / Investigation takes several days to several weeks	〇 Instant explanation with data, same-day customer support.
◆ Resending and remanufacturing costs	× High (high recurrence rate)	○ Identifying the cause and implementing countermeasures
◆ Complaint handling workload	× High workload for the person in charge	○ Investigation → Verification is automated
◆ Internal Audit Support	× Incomplete documentation/insufficient evidence	○ Data is automatically saved, making it easy to manage.
◆ Insurance negotiations	× "Unknown cause" puts you at a disadvantage	○ Clear evidence → Improved acceptance rate
◆ Customer Satisfaction	× Prone to decrease	○ Improved transportation quality strengthens trust.

What is Macnica Tracks®?

Macnica Tracks® can be used simply by attaching it to Qualcomm's monitoring terminal "QTS110" (pictured on the right).
This IoT solution simultaneously enables the detection of anomalies and the tracking of delivered items.

Unlike conventional trackers that simply record where you are,
It specializes in capturing physical changes that occur during delivery in real time and immediately notifying the management dashboard.

Previously, anomalies were only discovered after the fact, but now a complete response process, from occurrence to initial response, tracking, and recovery, becomes possible.

① Multi-sensor that doesn't miss any "unusual behavior in objects"
It has built-in sensors that detect temperature/humidity, tilt, shock, and even illuminance (light).
This ensures that we capture signs of quality deterioration (such as deviations in temperature and humidity) and signs of theft, such as "opening of the packaging box." We also record data on when and where "damage" caused by tilting or impact occurred.

② Tracking capabilities that transcend national borders
With a built-in global SIM, it supports roaming in over 200 countries worldwide. It can also continuously track the risk of illegal exports abroad.

③ Wireless design to minimize the burden on on-site staff
The "QTS110"can operate continuously for up to 100 days with communication once an hour, and up to 1 year with communication once a day. Furthermore, it requires no power supply work or complex wiring.
Simply place or attach it to the asset you want to protect, and you can start sophisticated "object-based security" from that moment on.
