Australian internet of things (IoT) solution provider Sensera Limited (ASX:SE1) has entered into a strategic partnership with the US-based global product development and technology company Triton Systems, Inc.
Under the partnership the companies will integrate Sensera’s Location-Aware IoT building blocks with Triton’s artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor innovations for a wide range of asset tracking applications for the US Department of Defence (DoD).
Brad Sherrard, Sensera’s IoTS General Manager, said the two companies have signed an agreement, which leverages Triton’s decades long experience as a solutions provider and integrator to the DoD and Sensera’s swarm technology, to create a reliable, end-to-end solution for monitoring and tracking the location and operational-readiness of military and security assets across DoD sites globally.
The DoD, with an annual budget of over US$710 billion, operates over 800 bases across 70 countries and owns tens of millions of pieces of logistics hardware.
Triton’s initial DoD project will deploy and prove the performance of Sensera’s Real-Time Location System (RTLS) combined with Triton’s sensor suite and AI tools within a military supply depot environment. This multi-phase programme will include prototype system demonstration, validation, refinement and results for a full end-to-end RTLS solution to prepare for integration in other DoD depots and similar asset-intensive applications.
The complete solution will fill an important performance gap in accuracy, range and scalability for identifying and tracking the tens of millions of mobile and portable assets that military depots use in support of their operational readiness mission.
Sensera’s proprietary RTLS enables secure, precise real-time positioning (2D and 3D at near- centimetre precision) and concurrent wireless data communication for virtually any IoT application needing real-time, precision location.
The technology has been deployed in over three million tags in 1000+ installations – providing real-time visibility of what, where and when for applications like restricted area enforcement, next-generation worksite workflow optimisation, and position-enabled environmental condition monitoring which are part of the solution for the DoD installations.
The signing of this agreement with Triton Systems represents a strong pathway for Sensera to leverage our successful wireless Location-Aware IoT sensors and software platform to explore some significant new application and market opportunities within the US Department of Defence,” Mr Sherrard said.
“Triton is a proven partner for this market and will also provide powerful AI technology to be leveraged for other use cases.”
