Sat-Tag was formed in January 2007 to provide a solution for the Aviation and Logisitics Industries' needs for simple yet effective open space asset tracking.
We have two major product lines which cover airborne containers and pallets
Airborne assets such as Unit Load Devices require genuine global coverage and Ground Based assets are tracked within the confines of national boundaries.
For a number of years, the Industry believed that RFID would be the answer to global tracking. It is now accepted that this technology is limited to clearly defined areas such as baggage halls. In open space the only reliable solution is to physically attach a tracking tag to the asset.
Sat-Tag's devices use the latest generation GPS for positioning. To communicate this position, the tag uses 3G.
Critical to the safety and success of the airborne tag is its ability to shut down when on board an aircraft. Sat-Tag has developed logic specific to flight operations which controls the behaviour of the tag and ensures its key components are entirely dormant when on board the aircraft.
Investment in new technology apart from solving the immediate problem of tracking assets must bring a profitable rate of return. Considerable research over the last 3 years has enabled us to develop tracking plans that will deliver savings and improve profits.
Sat-Tag and its development team are based in the UK however the tag will be manufactured in the Republic of China. First delivery of our airborne tag is scheduled for late 2012.
