Overhaul unveils CompliTrack for deviceless supply chain tracking

Overhaul has announced the launch of CompliTrack. This deviceless tracking solution streamlines in-transit compliance management for over-the-road (OTR) logistics.

Using established connections with Electronic Logging Device (ELD) providers, CompliTrack introduces an efficient and cost-effective enhancement to shipment tracking without the necessity for embedded IoT devices. This solution dramatically simplifies carrier onboarding, immediately elevating shipment visibility—a pivotal step in maintaining stringent compliance and security across diverse logistics operations. Through direct access to vehicle telematics data, it has enabled complete coverage of US shipments from the outset, streamlining processes and reducing the reliance on manual data tracking efforts.

The escalating complexity and frequency of cargo theft underscore the pressing need for such innovative compliance and risk mitigation strategies. With nearly a hundred incidents recorded monthly and a notable year-over-year uptick in both the volume and the average loss value of cargo thefts, the imperative for real-time monitoring and proactive management becomes clear. CompliTrack addresses this need head-on, offering enhanced visibility and actionable intelligence that empowers companies to anticipate and counteract potential security threats, ensuring a more secure and compliant supply chain environment.

CompliTrack is designed to simplify the tracking of OTR shipments, especially those not requiring embedded IoT devices, enabling companies to gain instant insights into shipment status, manage compliance proactively, and respond rapidly to any deviations from established standards. By usingcarrier ELD data, CompliTrack provides enhanced shipment tracking capabilities, from advanced alerts for non-compliance events to detailed compliance reporting, all within Overhaul’s unified platform.

“With CompliTrack, we’re setting a new industry standard for logistics compliance management,” said Barry Conlon, the CEO and founder of Overhaul. “This launch provides unparalleled visibility and control over OTR shipments, once again empowering our customers with the tools they need for a more secure, efficient and compliant supply chain.”

CompliTrack also offers optional integration with Overhaul’s LE Connect service, enhancing the platform’s security capabilities by providing direct communication with law enforcement in the event of cargo theft. This added layer of protection ensures that companies have the support they need to recover stolen goods and safeguard their supply chains quickly.

Onymos and Vapotherm partner to innovate respiratory care with IoT

Onymos and Vapotherm have announced the formation of a development and commercialisation partnership. This partnership will help Vapotherm create a unique respiratory digital platform to meet its data visualisation and device management goals for the Vapotherm HVT 2.0 system in the acute care space as well as for future products in the home.

Through the Onymos Features-as-a-Service platform, Vapotherm accesses Onymos’ suite of Internet of Things (IoT) features — including Onymos Edge, Onymos Access and Onymos DataStore — to build a secure end-to-end solution to connect the HVT 2.0 fleet with the cloud. It consists of a GoLang-based “Gateway” application, an Angular web dashboard for remote device management and cloud storage for patient data. The solution is currently undergoing beta testing with select hospitals.

The HVT 2.0 system currently uses Vapotherm’s high-velocity therapy and has a large, intuitive touchscreen to display relevant clinical information at a distance (flow, FiO2, temperature, safety alarms, event log etc.). Connectivity provides clinically relevant information remotely to help medical teams make informed and confident decisions quickly.

“We continually look to provide our customers with innovative solutions to improve patient outcomes as evidenced by our recent HVT 2.0 launch and future home offerings. We believe that by adopting Onymos’ suite of IoT features into these products it will help medical teams make informed decisions quickly to help treat their patients and improve outcomes at a lower cost. This is huge for understaffed hospitals especially. It’s an honour to help our customers and to partner with Onymos to make our connected cloud solutions a reality – one that continues to enhance and adjust according to physician feedback and needs,” said Brian Lawrence, the chief technology officer at Vapotherm.

“We are proud to work alongside Vapotherm to help the company realise its data visualisation and device management goals for the HVT 2.0 system and future home product,” said Shiva Nathan, the founder and CEO of Onymos. “By leveraging multiple facets of our Features-as-a-Service platform, we are able to develop an extensive Internet of Medical Things solution that is both SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant 80 percent faster than the standard development timeline.”

The Onymos Features-as-a-Service platform is a pro-code platform that enables companies and organizations — such as medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, retailers, and education institutions — to achieve the speed, quality and value in their web, mobile and IoT application development and innovation. It has over 20 foundational app features and can be easily added to new or existing applications. The Onymos platform includes the UI/UX, security, help with compliance requirements, underlying logic that runs on the device, the server-side functions and integrations that process and store data in the cloud, and continuous updates. The Onymos platform also supports many of the other most popular frameworks for web and mobile application development.

Eseye and Thales partnership to simplify global IoT deployments

Eseye has selected Thales to accelerate and simplify worldwide IoT deployment with a seamless connectivity solution. Thales solution enables Eseye to automatically connect IoT devices with the most appropriate profile the first time they are powered up and in-life. Thales Adaptive Connect (TAC) based on eSIM (embedded SIM) technology that simplifies the management of IoT devices lifecycle. It is the first market-ready solution that eliminates the need to configure mobile subscriptions in the factory, or for technicians to visit them in the field.

Eseye provides IoT cellular connectivity services worldwide, and TAC brings connectivity management of IoT devices remotely to make it easier for its customers to roll-out and support major projects in areas such as: smart utilities, supply chains, logistics and automotive. Indeed, any kind of IoT device can be deployed and connected in any region or country without being configured beforehand.

TAC is remotely managing the eSIM automatic configuration to provide the best local connectivity from its first usage and throughout its lifespan on the field. With Thales, Eseye can ensure they all connect to the preferred mobile network whenever it is needed. For example, deployed IoT devices can be switched to another mobile network remotely, over-the-air, at any time. The Thales solution fully complies with GSMA eSIM IoT standard SGP.32, ensuring security, reliability and future proof capability for massive IoT use cases.

Thanks to the Thales connectivity offer for eSIM-based devices, Eseye will be able to operate and manage flexible, end-to-end connectivity from the factory to the field, and throughout the device lifecycle. Which means the entire operation, including manufacturing, logistics, and connectivity, is streamlined and simplified.

“Eseye are delighted to be partnering with Thales to take forward this leading-edge, innovative new IoT solution. Combining SGP.32 and SGP.41 support will ensure future IoT device deployments can deliver optimum efficiency and value to our customers. Not only do Enterprise customers get a completely future proofed eSIM platform, but it also enables maximum choice of either personalising devices for local mobile networks ahead of deployment or using TAC to do this for them in the field” said Adam Hayes, the chief operating officer at Eseye.

“Eseye is a dynamic partner with whom we have also worked on a Proof of Concept for customers interested in in-factory provisioning (IFPP) for their devices. This enables profiles to be securely provisioned during the device manufacturing process. For example, a blood sugar monitor device that has been configured at the factory will have a substantially longer battery life since there is no need for an in-field local profile download. This solution, which meets the latest market specifications (SGP.41), retains all of the benefits of an automatic and cost-effective connection to the preferred local network,” said Guillaume Lafaix, VP of connectivity solutions and embedded products at Thales.
