ORBCOMM has identified a number of opportunities for its analytics service that provide industry benchmark comparisons and statistical applications applied to machine, logistical and conditional behaviors. Customer use case examples include refrigerated transport operational performance, operational cycle and dwell time management, condition delivery management, fleet driver performance, predictive machine breakdown and shutdown, preventative maintenance planning, and business optimization. With the potential breadth of impactful business intelligence opportunities within its core markets, ORBCOMM’s analytics Cloud service is expected to further differentiate the Company as a leading industrial IoT solutionsprovider.
