Lustenau, Austria - IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, a pioneer in cutting-edge wireless solutions, has introduced upgraded hardware to their Terminal Tracker system, boasting an advanced Shock Sensor VSM 400. This upgraded sensor not only detects shocks and bumps (learn about unreported container damage) but also doubles as a compass.

The refreshed hardware is a leap forward in the industry, meeting the latest design standards and optimizing data capture in the field. The revamped system, customizable to meet global terminal operators' requirements, will be included in all future Terminal Tracker installations.
