3 Live Tracking Technology Example for logistics process and tracking objectives Customer Pick-up HUB Measuring points / research analysis Receiver Delivery The real-time tracking presented here is for individual shipments for tracking and analysis of : Information about processes when RFID or Track n Trace is not possible or economical Details and differences between the defined process steps Suspected or known deviations in standard processing Unknown running processes Proof of delivery and performance for the customer Page 3

4 Live Tracking Technology Overview about the Technology Location transfer from predefined intervals: 15 Min / 60 min / 24 hrs Battery life depending on measurement interval and process: Upto one year Location accuracy: In residential areas: m possible (when in use from known WIFI-positions) In rural areas/on thoroughfares: Meter (based on GSM-network) Reliable reception - also in buildings/transport containers/trucks Real time transmission of data (no complex readings) Page 4

5 Live Tracking Technology Data connection and System monitoring Cloud Server GSM / WIFI Tracking Events Data transmission Data bank Raw data System Monitoring Status and Heartbeat Configuration and Administration Analysis & Report Alerts & Escalation Real time-transmission of data from all trackers in the RPM Cloud-Plattform Page 5

6 Live Tracking Technology Applications for Postal & Logistic services Tracking of letters Mailing in different formats is possible Machine friendly for flat and multisorters Tracking of parcels Every form of shipment can be monitored Built in sensors offer additional benefits: Light sensor (shows open when shipment arrives) Movement sensor (can indicate improper handling) Other sensors (i.e. temperature) can be connected when needed or required Tracking of containers & vehicles Installation in vehicles for continuous site survey Installation in packaging, i.e. transport boxes, trolleys, ULD s pallets, containers Page 6
