Securing expensive machines and equipment during transportation
Technische Sicherheit
10.04.2025
To meet the increased requirements for monitoring transport and logistics, the supply chain must be seamlessly monitored. Live tracking data loggers can now be used to monitor valuable capital goods such as machines or machinery systems in real time. This is particularly important in terms of warranty.
Loading of a shipping container often takes place under high time pressure, which means that the cargo is sometimes handled quite roughly. The series of damage incidents that occur on a daily basis could go on and on. Because so much damage, theft or attempted fraud occurs in supply chains, more and more industrial companies in the high-value capital goods sector are discovering the benefits of digital data loggers.
Innovative, flexible sensor and IoT platform for global 360° live tracking
PC & Sicherheit
17.04.2025
Complex supply chains, different transmission technologies, new cyber security guidelines and individual customer requirements regularly present manufacturers of IoT devices with major challenges. With the ASPION L-Track multi-sensor data logger, Aspion presented an end-to-end solution for global 360° live tracking of transported goods for the first time last year. Now, for the first time, the company is presenting a preview of its innovative, flexibly expandable multi-sensor platform as an “out-of-the-box” complete IoT solution.
The ASPION L-Track continuously logs the current location and condition of the goods, including environmental conditions such as shock/impact, temperature, humidity, light and other influences.
ASPION introduces new version of end-to-end solution for 360° supply chain monitoring
Sensor Magazin

“Global supply chains are under increasing pressure: rising transport volumes, geopolitical uncertainties and a lack of transparency in transportation pose major challenges for globally active companies. Shippers must ensure that their high-value capital goods such as machinery, systems or energy technology components not only arrive at the customer or construction site on time, but also undamaged. Last year, ASPION GmbH introduced its new end-to-end solution for the global 360° live monitoring of transported goods, the ASPION L-Track. At the transport logistic trade fair, the company is now showcasing the possibilities of its innovative, flexibly expandable multi-sensor platform as an “out-of-the-box” complete IoT solution.”

“Data loggers - At LogiMAT 2025, Aspion will be showing the further development of its 360° supply chain monitoring solution. With the ASPION L-Track multi-sensor data logger and the connected new IoT platform, the company is focusing on greater transparency and efficiency in supply chains. Founder and CTO Michael Wöhr talks about the benefits for shippers.
Mr. Wöhr, what makes the new version of ASPION L-Track so special?
The new version of ASPION L-Track brings even more transparency to the supply chain. In addition to the existing tracking of location, temperature, humidity and barom. pressure, the data logger now also logs light for opening detection, critical tilt angles and all shocks in milliseconds.”
