When it comes to high value cargo-shipment on the ground, tracking devices ensure the safety of the cargo as well as gives peace of mind to the owner of the assets. American Security Logistics (ASL) is known for its suit of comprehensive and complete security solutions that leverage the industry's most current technologies.

The company’s latest offering comes in form of wirelessly connected tracking device that will track the location and ongoing movement of cargo pallet shipments by sending data across AT&T's (News - Alert) wireless network.

Through a recent press release, ASL announced the launch of its new AIRDEX VISI-pallet that integrates a wirelessly connected tracking device. The device is manufactured by GlobalSat and distributed by U.S. BioSensors, Inc.

According to ASL, the tracking device has been specifically designed for high-value cargo shipments. The tracking device provides ongoing visibility of the individual pallet location while gathering operating and condition data, which it feeds across the AT&T network to an around-the-clock management information service bureau.

According to its maker, this new wirelessly connected tracking solution is light weight and cost effective. It can prove to be a valuable asset for the industries in need of a tracking solution to monitor valuables in transport.

Until now, bar-code and RFID scanning devices have been the primary options for tracking individual pallet shipments. But according to ASL officials, their AIRDEX pallet will all together change the way businesses control and monitor their valuable assets.

“This technology will change the game when it comes to controlling and monitoring valuable assets within the global supply chain. The recovery of a time-critical or high value shipment would more than pay for this service. The use of the lightweight AIRDEX pallet will provide significant monetary savings, not to mention the priceless information provided by the tracking and reporting device,” David Yoder, CEO of American Security Logistics, said.

One of the unique advantages with this tracking device is: apart from offering enterprise benefits, these connected pallets help address safety concerns within the food and pharmaceutical markets where tracking and traceability are critical. As such, AIRDEX VISI-pallet marks the marks the beginning of a new era of a series of wirelessly connected location based tracking devices that can be used to help keep tabs on an array of valuables, from pets to children and Alzheimer's patients---which American Security Logistics expects to launch in the near future.
