Case Study: OpticalLock prevents cargo theft and counterfeiting with Telit IoT connectivity

OpticalLock prevents cargo theft with Telit’s global IoT modules

OpticalLock, based in San Diego, faced the global challenge of cargo theft and counterfeiting, which costs the economy trillions. They needed a way to secure high-value assets in transit with real-time monitoring and alerts. To build their IoT-enabled locking device, they partnered with Telit and utilized the Telit xE910 family of cellular modules.

The solution involved integrating Telit's compact and globally compatible xE910 modules into OpticalLock's OPTi-100 smart locks. These modules provided reliable cellular connectivity and positioning, enabling the locks to detect tampering, location, and environmental conditions and send instant alerts. Telit's expertise and hardware helped OpticalLock create a discrete, palm-sized device that protects client assets and improves supply chain accountability across shipping, logistics, and insurance industries.
