SAN JOSE, Calif., and DUNEDIN, New Zealand, Feb. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aeris, a technology leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), said today it is collaborating with TracPlus, a global tracking, communication and collaboration solutions provider, to offer an IoT connectivity solution that allows TracPlus and its customers to track their personnel and physical assets in real time.
The Aeris® IoT Services platform is being used by TracPlus to allow companies and organizations to monitor and communicate with personnel fighting fires, performing rescue missions, installing powerlines, saving vessels and providing other land, sea and air services. Aeris IoT Connectivity services offer many innovative features that allow TracPlus to improve its service delivery and increase service radius.
TracPlus is an established and proven global service providing real-time tracking, event and messaging with personnel using vehicles, vessels and aircraft. TracPlus solutions span desktop, web and mobile platforms.
Aviation Services Unlimited of Rome, N.Y. uses TracPlus’ solution to track its helicopters and provide aerial services to utility companies, inspect and maintain electric transmission lines, patrol ground-over-gas lines and provide emergency services during power outages.
TracPlus was founded by Chris Hinch following a tragedy in May 2003 off New Zealand’s North Otago coastline when a fishing vessel carrying five passengers capsized. Three perished due to a record-keeping error at the national search and rescue headquarters that sent a rescue aircraft approximately two and half hours away instead of dispatching a helicopter located 20 minutes away. TracPlus has offices in USA, New Zealand and Chile, and serves customers in over 35 countries.
