ORBCOMM Inc., a global satellite data communications company focused on two-way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and Camgian Microsystems Corporation (Camgian), a provider of advanced M2M networking technologies and solutions, today announced a marketing agreement to supply Quantus, an M2M supply chain solution enabled by the ORBCOMM network, to the industrial market.
Quantus is a secure, highly scalable M2M networking platform optimized for on-site inventory monitoring and logistics management of bulk solids and liquids such as oil and gas products. Specifically, Quantus supports the networking of key industrial supply chain assets that include remote inventory storage vessels and tanker trucks.
Using ORBCOMM’s reliable global network, data collected from both fixed and mobile field assets is processed through an advanced, cloud-based analytics platform that provides managers with near real-time information as it relates to optimization of their supply chain operations. With ubiquitous network coverage, open connectivity software and ruggedized hardware, Quantus is ideal for energy companies, waste management facilities, lubrication companies, asphalt factories and frac tanks looking to gain supply chain efficiencies, reduce operating expenses and enhance customer service.
“ORBCOMM’s agreement with Camgian will further expand our market reach in providing global two-way data communications for M2M solutions in the oil and gas industry,” said Brian Bell, ORBCOMM’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“Leveraging our core competencies, ORBCOMM and Camgian will facilitate application development and integration, shorten time to market and increase widespread adoption of tank monitoring solutions in the waste oil, virgin oil and fuel markets.”
Zvi Huber, Camgian’s General Manager of M2M Markets, said:
“There is a critical need for a configurable and expandable platform like Quantus for industrial tank-level monitoring for both fixed and mobile assets.”
“Camgian’s operational intelligence platform utilizes ORBCOMM’s high-performance network to enable the seamless flow and analysis of near real-time information between remote assets and the corporate back-office, which helps our customers significantly improve inventory management and decision making throughout the global supply chain.”
