Semtech Corporation announced that Boluda Corporación Marítima, will leverage an asset tracking solution from WITRAC, a Valencia-based company offering innovative technology solutions that connect and provide visibility to the value chain. Integrated with Semtech's LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® standard, WITRAC's Total Track & Trace Intelligent Platform transports cold chain assets in Boluda's supply chain, providing citizens of the Canary Islands with the first daily transportation of cargo from the peninsula with over 350 successful voyages. Using a combination of LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, BLE, and cellular connectivity options in the same hardware device, WITRAC's Total Track & Trace Intelligent Platform provides real-time visibility and control of offshore operations.

In addition to temperature monitoring, the platform's “Perfect Route System” is able to geolocate a fleet's vessels, allowing alerts to be set for deviations in fuel consumption, speed, routes, or miles traveled, which also permits shippers to take corrective measures en route. The success of the platform led Boluda to implement WITRAC's platform to monitor the location and temperature status of the fresh food and medicine on its seven container vessels traveling 700 miles from the Spanish mainland on the maritime corridor linking the Port of Cádiz to the island ports of Las Palmas and Tenerife.
