Digi International announced that Inteligistics will use the iDigi Device Cloud, ConnectPort X wireless gateways and XBee ZigBee modules to wirelessly enable its intelligent, asset tracking system. The system provides security and real-time access to location, inventory, environmental data and other critical information. The patented system will be used by the U.S. Navy to track the contents of tens of thousands of shipping containers across the world, as well as by the global logistics industry.

Inteligistics patented Dynamic Smart Box inventory tracking system includes a controller with a ConnectPort X cellular gateway and RFID reader modules with XBee ZigBee modules.  The RFID readers gather container content information from RFID tagged items in a container and communicate the data back to the ConnectPort X gateway via the XBee ZigBee modules.  The gateway then sends the information to the iDigi Device cloud over cellular networks where Inteligistics’ customers can easily monitor container location, content and activity and can react to any abnormal incidents.   Environmental sensors are also connected via XBee ZigBee modules to the gateway to provide additional container information such as door open status, temperature, weight and other information. The system also provides real-time alerts related to security breaches, routing deviations or abnormal environmental conditions.
