The announcement marks the largest LPWAN deployment of asset trackers to date in Europe with major companies such as Deutsche Post DHL Group, the global logistics company, different automakers and mobility providers in France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and many more European countries.

Since the successful start of deployment of the asset tracker in the region, the Alps Alpine team in Germany and Ireland has engaged in R&D to further complete the portfolio of 15 different tracker variants with up to 12 years of battery life. Today, the company confirms its plan to achieve the next milestone of producing another 2.6 million trackers based on procurement of material already ordered one year ago to be able to continue shipping even under the current component shortage situation.

Lars Landewee, Senior Vice President Operations for the Parcel Sorting Centres with Deutsche Post DHL confirms that: “The Alps Alpine – Sigfox tracking Solutions really bring us to the next level of asset tracking. It not only gives us the transparency on the location of the assets, it also enables us to better predict asset flows. We are really looking forward to making even more out of the now established basis.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented stress but also opportunities for the transformation in the logistics and supply chain industry. As the demands for asset management continue to increase in the region, we are prepared to support our customers with our best in class asset tracking management solutions to provide such values as visibility in everyday operation and lift the monetary potential which is dormant in every process. Especially in times of crises companies are required to optimize their operation for higher productivity and higher levels of process automation”, says Sascha Kunzmann, heading up the Engineering Division of Alps Alpine Europe.
