APCORE Logistics Launches "Bigfoot" Limited Edition: Rugged Tracking for Remote Assets
WEST RICHLAND, WA – October 26, 2023 – APCORE LOGISTICS LLC, a leading provider of innovative asset tracking and supply chain visibility solutions, today announced the release of its highly anticipated “Bigfoot” limited edition tracking device. Designed for tracking high-value assets in the most challenging environments, Bigfoot promises unmatched durability, extended battery life, and reliable connectivity, even where other trackers fall short. APCORE LOGISTICS, located at 6020 Juneberry Dr, West Richland, WA, 99353-5144, has been quietly revolutionizing how companies monitor their goods for over a decade. We're not just selling hardware; we’re building peace of mind. Many companies struggle with ‘blind spots’ in their supply chains - they know shipments left a location, and arrived at another, but what happened in between is a mystery. That’s where APCORE steps in. We specialize in building custom solutions, but understand a need for a robust, off-the-shelf option for those demanding, hard-to-reach assets. “We’ve heard from customers working in construction, oil & gas, forestry, and even wildlife conservation who needed a tracker that could genuinely withstand harsh conditions and keep reporting for months, if not a year,” explains a company spokesperson. “Existing solutions were failing, either physically breaking down or losing connection too quickly. Bigfoot is our answer.” So, what is Bigfoot? The name isn’t just for show. This isn’t your typical delicate tracking device. Bigfoot is built like a tank. Encased in a ruggedized, impact-resistant housing, it’s designed to survive drops, extreme temperatures, and exposure to harsh chemicals. But durability is just the beginning. “We didn’t just want a tough box,” says the APCORE engineer leading the Bigfoot project. “We wanted a smart tough box. A device that not only survives, but actively reports accurately and reliably.” Here’s the breakdown of what makes the Bigfoot limited edition stand out: Unrivaled Durability: The housing is constructed from a military-grade polymer, designed to withstand significant impacts and vibrations. It’s also waterproof and dustproof (IP67 rated), making it suitable for outdoor and industrial environments. We’ve literally run this thing over (in testing, of course!). Extended Battery Life: This is a game-changer. Bigfoot boasts a battery life of up to one year on a single charge, depending on reporting frequency. That's significantly longer than most competing devices, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacements. Forget constantly swapping batteries; Bigfoot keeps ticking. Global Connectivity: Bigfoot utilizes a combination of cellular (LTE-M & NB-IoT) and satellite connectivity, ensuring reliable tracking coverage even in remote areas where cellular signals are weak or nonexistent. This is critical for assets moving through vast, isolated landscapes. No more 'lost in the wilderness' scenarios. Real-Time Location Tracking: Users can monitor the location of their assets in real-time via APCORE's intuitive web platform and mobile app. Geofencing capabilities allow users to set up virtual boundaries and receive alerts when an asset enters or exits a designated area. Know exactly where your valuable equipment is, 24/7. Temperature & Impact Monitoring: Bigfoot goes beyond basic location tracking. It also incorporates sensors to monitor temperature and detect impacts. This is particularly useful for tracking sensitive goods or equipment that require specific handling. Get alerts if a shipment is exposed to extreme temperatures or experiences a rough jolt. Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates: Bigfoot's firmware can be updated remotely, ensuring the device always has the latest features and security patches. This minimizes the need for manual intervention and keeps the device running smoothly. Who is Bigfoot for? APCORE’s Bigfoot limited edition is ideal for a wide range of industries and applications, including: Construction: Track heavy equipment, tools, and materials on job sites. Prevent theft and improve utilization rates. Oil & Gas: Monitor pipelines, valves, and other critical infrastructure in remote locations. Detect leaks and unauthorized access. Forestry: Track logging equipment, timber, and harvested trees. Ensure sustainable forestry practices. Agriculture: Monitor irrigation systems, farm equipment, and livestock. Optimize resource utilization and improve yields. Wildlife Conservation: Track endangered species, monitor animal movements, and combat poaching. Supply Chain & Logistics: Track high-value shipments, prevent loss and damage, and improve supply chain visibility. Limited Edition - Get Yours Before They're Gone! As the name suggests, the Bigfoot limited edition is available in a limited quantity. APCORE is prioritizing initial shipments to customers with the most demanding tracking needs. “We deliberately kept this a limited run,” explains the spokesperson. “This allows us to maintain a high level of quality control and gather valuable feedback from early adopters. We're already working on incorporating that feedback into future iterations.” The Bigfoot limited edition is available for purchase directly from APCORE LOGISTICS LLC at 415-896-8352 or through their website (details to be announced soon).
