Always On remote management raises the bar for commercial performance, energy efficiency, and customer experience.
Soracom, Inc., today announced that Sollatek, a world leader in Telemetry and IOT solutions for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market, has chosen Soracom IoT connectivity to deliver remote monitoring and management capability for its widely-deployed commercial refrigeration and coffee solutions.
Sollatek offers a broad range of products, from refrigeration control to off-grid solar, with an emphasis on power stability, asset tracking, remote monitoring, energy optimization, and operational insight. Sollatek’s flagship suite of commercial refrigeration solutions are designed to monitor and control temperature, energy usage, and geolocation of everything from beverage coolers and refrigerators to display cabinets and ice cream freezers. Sollatek’s Always On solution also offers real-time asset location tracking along with the ability to mark cooler sales based on door openings, monitor cooler misuse, and remotely control cooling system functionality.
By combining this leading-edge connected hardware with an advanced online portal, Sollatek has emerged as a widely acknowledged global leader in Point of Sale (PoS) solutions in the $20 billion FMCG market. Many of the world’s largest beverage producers have already discovered the power of Sollatek’s Always On solution, with more than a million coolers and freezers deployed with Sollatek technology worldwide.
Sollatek selected Soracom for this project based on a demonstrated ability to provide reliable connectivity on a global scale. The Soracom IoT SIM offers multi-carrier cellular connectivity in more than 180 countries and regions, and spans over 380 mobile operator networks, with the ability to switch between networks automatically when signal is weak. Soracom’s included connectivity management platform (CMP) and unified billing system give Sollatek complete control of their IoT network at scale.
