Hi-G-Tek’s flexible technology platform enables the company to tailor its solutions to specific challenges in a variety of vertical markets, as well as for unique applications. Ultimately, the common denominator across its clients’ applications is the need for tracking and/or securing cargo and assets; obtaining timely and actionable information about the condition and/or location of those assets; and improving the efficiency of internal operations. The company’s technology can be adapted to many different environments and use cases.

Hi-G-Tek’s turn-key solutions are composed of electronic sensing and locking devices and an enterprise software platform (ESP). The ESP receives, analyzes, and stores all the information collected by the sensing devices, applies the client’s business rules to the data, generates real time alerts where appropriate, and stores data history. Through its ESP, Hi-G-Tek is able to adapt its technology to serve a variety of markets and applications.

Sensing and security are key components of the technology. The sensing devices are capable of monitoring, recording, and transmitting critical conditions back to the client via Hi-G-Tek’s ESP. Sensing data can include: security, motion, tilt, temperature, humidity, purity, clarity, light, acoustics, weight, flow, shock, vibration, among others.

Hi-G-Tek’s locking devices provide a unique combination of physical protection with sensing and monitoring capabilities. Wirelessly connected to a network, they facilitate real time alerts to our clients in cases of tampering, creating actionable data for improved security and management.

Tanker Truck Monitoring:

One of Hi-G-Tek’s signature offerings, TTMS is an industry leading wireless solution that provides real time (if required) tracking and securing of tanker trucks and the fuel cargo under transport. Using state of the art electronic seals (e-seals) and security devices, Hi-G-Tek’s TTMS enables customers to monitor the opening and closing of valves, hatches and other control points on the truck. These actions are permanently stored in the internal memory of the individual e-seal and also in Hi-G-Tek’s advanced software platform (ESP). Each action is time stamped and geo-stamped with lat-long coordinates. The ESP manages the data derived from the e-seals by applying the customer’s business rules to filter the information, generating alarms where appropriate, and creating management reporting based on the customer’s specific requirements.

The TTMS allows the user to establish approved routes for the tanker trucks and continuously monitor the location of the vehicle to ensure that it is within the bounds of this geo-fence. The solution can also establish approved valve/hatch access points within a given geo-fence. Any deviation from this pre-established set of parameters will generate alarms in the customer’s operations center.

The solution allows users to maintain a complete chain-of-custody record for the location of the tanker truck and all event activity related to the valves and hatches being monitored by Hi-G-Tek. This chain-of-custody can be maintained over time to establish a complete audit trail that documents the historical operation of a given tanker truck. The system can be designed so that the Hi-G-Tek seals are armed and disarmed using handheld readers that are registered to specific individuals, further enhancing the audit trail. Hi-G-Tek has worldwide deployments of its tanker truck monitoring solution.

Cargo Tracking and Monitoring:

CTMS is an industry leading wireless solution that provides real time (if required) tracking and securing of cargo containers. Using state of the art electronic seals (e-seals) and security devices, Hi-G-Tek’s CTMS enables customers to monitor the opening and closing of the container doors, as well as to monitor various conditions of the cargo inside the container. These conditions include temperature, security, humidity, light, tilt, shock, vibration, and others.

The solution allows users to maintain an electronic record of the complete chain-of-custody for the cargo. This chain-of-custody can be maintained over time to establish a complete audit trail that facilitates compliance with audit requests. All actions are permanently stored in the internal memory of the individual e-seal and also in Hi-G-Tek’s advanced software platform (ESP). Each action is time stamped and geo-stamped with lat-long coordinates. The ESP manages the data derived from the e-seals by applying the customer’s business rules to filter the information, generating alarms where appropriate, and creating management reporting based on the customer’s specific requirements.

The CTMS allows the user to establish approved routes for the trucks, if needed, and continuously monitor the location of the vehicle to ensure that it is within the bounds of this geo-fence. The solution can also establish approved access points within a given geo-fence. Any deviation from this pre-established set of parameters will generate alarms in the customer’s operations center.

Hi-G-Tek can also create intelligent locations, such as smart truck stops, by deploying solutions composed of private reader networks that are integrated with cargo trucks using the company’s electronic sensing and locking capabilities.

Pharmaceutical Transport:

Through its BioLOGIS® division, Hi-G-Tek serves the pharmaceutical industry with a unique tracking and securing solution that secures the supply chain at all phases of product development from clinical trials to full scale manufacturing.

Hi-G-Tek’s solution enables customers to monitor biometric conditions, in real time if needed; to electronically secure the cargo itself and to be alerted to instances of tampering if required; and to readily respond to audit requests with electronic reporting that includes chain of custody information, as well as establishing biometric conditions, during the entire transport process.

Sensing and security are the key components of Hi-G-Tek’s technology. The company’s solution is composed of electronic sensing and locking devices and an enterprise services platform (ESP). The ESP receives, analyzes, and stores all the information collected by the sensing devices, applying the client’s business rules to the data, generating alerts where appropriate, and storing data history. This history facilitates FDA audit compliance by documenting all points of custody, as well as the parameters that are set for biometric condition monitoring.
