ESPOO, Finland, June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Introducing GSM track & trace solution for road, sea and air

Vilant Tracker is a unique and simple solution for tracking your critical shipments and traveling assets. The Tracker device accompanies your shipment all day, worldwide informing you about its position and status. Its patented technology enables tracking on all transportation methods - land, sea and air. The online Tracker Portal shows tracking history and current location of shipments enabling full tracking and tracing capability. In contrast to GPS solutions, Vilant Tracker is very low in investment and operational costs, since it is based on GSM positioning. In addition, Vilant trackers are locatable wherever the GSM network works, so also in buildings and inside of containers or vehicles. The technology behind Vilant Tracker was developed in Switzerland and is an attribute to the acquisition of Swisscom Auto-ID Services AG in 2011.

"Our Target is to have 100% on-time delivery of our products to customers around the world. We have been looking for a solution that would enable us to create an independent real-time tracking system for quite some time," says Risto lehtola, Development Coordinator at ABB Motors and Generators. "Only now, with Vilant Tracker we are able to fulfill this need. It is an innovative solution that is both fast to setup and very cost efficient. We are looking forward to introducing it as an ABB wide tracking solution."
