Million-shipment milestone for DHL SmartSensor

DHL has reported today that it has hit a significant milestone for its SmartSensor technology, which has been used to monitor more than one million shipments since 2010. The SmartSensor’s GPS and RFID technology offers near real time tracking  and it powers DHL’s key temperature-controlled products including DHL Air Thermonet and DHL Ocean Thermonet.

“Over the last six years,” said DHL, “62,000 SmartSensor devices have been deployed – mainly by the life sciences and healthcare sector – submitting over 600 billion bytes of data and taking over 160 million temperature measurements.”
