FedEx SenseAware – More Than Just Tracking Your Shipment

A highly sensitive tracking device will soon be used by FedEx in tracking and monitoring information about a shipment. The device, FedEx SenseAware, will be placed inside the shipment and will tell customers if the package was opened give temperature readings and track exactly where the package is. It merges a web-based collaboration platform with a GPS sensor device. The device has been allowed for use in planes by the Federal Aviation Administration but won’t be able to give updates while the shipment is airborne. Customers can, however, monitor the shipment’s status if it travels by land. It will be initially available to life science and the healthcare industry customers in the US.
