Track Value: Multimodal IoT Traceability and Monitoring Solution

Track Value is a comprehensive IoT solution for the traceability and monitoring of transport flows, developed by a French industrial consortium bringing together Europorte, Kerlink, Synox, and Kinéis. It addresses the key challenges faced by rail, road, maritime, and air freight stakeholders: cargo security, operational visibility, logistics performance, and reduced environmental impact.

As the first industrial application dedicated to the freight sector to integrate Kinéis satellite connectivity, Track Value ensures reliable and secure data transmission, including in areas without terrestrial network coverage.

Global Traceability Enabled by Kinéis Satellite Connectivity
Thanks to Kinéis satellite connectivity, Track Value provides complete and continuous traceability of wagons, containers, and goods worldwide, including in white areas not covered by terrestrial networks (GSM, LoRa, etc.). The solution enables near real-time data collection and processing, improving operational reliability, cargo security, and decision-making.

Edge Computing and Embedded Intelligence for Data Efficiency
Track Value combines edge computing with embedded artificial intelligence, enabling transport events to be analyzed directly at the source. This approach significantly reduces the volume of transmitted data and delivers an almost zero carbon footprint for data usage. The solution therefore aligns with an energy-efficient and more sustainable transport strategy.

Collected Data and Advanced Monitoring
The IoT sensors integrated into Track Value enable the collection of multiple critical data points, such as:

Temperature
Pressure
Humidity
Accelerometer data (shocks, vibrations)
Door opening
Brake temperature
Load indicators (empty / loaded)

These data ensure:

Near real-time cargo security
Anomaly detection and alerting (flow disruption, equipment or infrastructure failure)
Anticipation of maintenance operations
