Zenith is a family of spotter units for spatially tracking the location of PopTags. Single units can provide general vicinity based asset tracking and monitoring capability, but add multiple units and triangulation provides pinpoint accuracy for location PopTags. Just like all of our solutions, we have many different Zenith Units available depending on the environment and operational needs. They all work with DirectView and you can mix and match any number of Zeniths in as many locations as you need to achieve your tracking requirements.

Applications

The Zenith can be used in a wide variety of end-user sectors and applications, such as: transportation, logistics, manufacturing, retail, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, entertainment & media, leisure sectors to track, trace and record the journey of a trailer, tractor, van, barge or any other vehicle. It could also be used in a stationary environment such as a warehouse, storage yard, dealer forecourts, farmyard or other industrial/manufacturing facility. The ability to identify and locate enables businesses to optimise production, assembly and distribution of raw materials and finished goods in the supply chain.

As part of an asset management solution, the Zenith can be deployed to detect the presence and movement of an asset, for security, identification or ‘seek and find’ functionality. This enables businesses to reduce the lost time and cost associated with mislaying components or finished goods within their operational ecosystem. Examples include cages, barrels, pallets even valuable individual parcels.

The Zenith can also be deployed as part of a distribution and logistics operation, in order to optimise the reliability and precision of deliveries.

It can also be used as a real-time gateway for monitoring aspects of an Internet-of-Things or operational facility. This means that certain trigger factors can be monitored in order to ensure activation, deactivation or ad-hoc crisis management which can be remotely identified, maintained or managed as necessary to optimise operation or prevent breakdown or disaster.
