Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity combines a robust, global cellular IoT platform with leading security that enables DeltaTrak to easily connect and scale IoT devices around the world, mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks, and meet strict security regulatory requirements.
Unique challenges driving change in agri-food segments like produce and protein include:
Food Waste
Reaching an all-time high in the US of 100 billion pounds annually, equating to $160 billion or 30%–40% of the total food supply. DeltaTrak’s Freshness Index detects hidden shelf-life losses which improves freshness and reduces food waste
Food Safety
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204 mandates
better traceability in the supply chain by June 2028. DeltaTrak’s robust architecture provides trusted cold chain data to enhance collaboration up and down the supply chain
Sustainability
The reduction of carbon emissions now includes compliance with mandatory regulations. DeltaTrak’s Carbon Emission tool automates reporting for EU’s directives for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) as well as California Prop SB/253
As part of this commitment to innovation, DeltaTrak’s recently launched UBQ Network, digital ecosystem of partner solutions for the agri-food industry focused on improving cold chain logistics, de-risking supply chains, ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing sustainability. As a partner of UBQ, Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity ensures unparalleled visibility, security, and efficiency in cold chain management.
“Our trusted partnership with Aeris helps DeltaTrak more easily scale and manage our globally connected IoT devices while also providing the strong security required in our industry.
Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity provides us a fully integrated platform with granular visibility, management, and security across all our IoT devices. This gives me piece of mind to worry less about sophisticated malware attacks and more on the solution’s value in fully optimizing our operations. And because the solution is built “in-line” with our existing Aeris Cellular Network, it required no agents or software changes to our IoT devices, making it simple and cost effective to deploy.”

Challenge
- A robust security solution, for all cellular IoT devices globally, which provides advanced anomaly and malware detection, granular traffic analysis and access controls that ensure only approved devices are allowed access
- Maintaining compliance with current and evolving security regulations and frameworks – providing visibility, asset inventory, malware detection, logging, and rapid incident response capabilities
- The ability to reprovision existing SIMs and relaunch devices without the high-cost step to open each device
- A deeper understanding of how devices connect, shipments and technical support are managed, as well as resolving customer issues via a more robust logistics solution
- Support for DeltaTrak customers sending sensitive shipments that require strict segmentation and isolation of shipment data
Solution
Improved risk posture
Mitigates exposure to sophisticated cyberattacks via Aeris IoT Watchtower’s granular device traffic analysis, and malware detection capabilities
Fast time to value
There are no agents to install on devices or anything new to deploy so activation is a snap and new data quickly drives business optimization efforts
Simplified regulatory compliance
The holistic software solution makes it easier for DeltaTrak to meet strict and evolving global security regulations and reporting mandates
Global scope
Easy integration of DeltaTrak’s partner connectivity platforms enables seamless IoT device protection and management
Streamlined recycling capability
The Aeris IoT platform enabled the reprovisioning of an existing SIM (vs throwing it away) and relaunch it without opening the device
Results
Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity provided a new alerting mechanism for potential cyber-threats and strengthened DeltaTrak’s overall security posture
As part of DeltaTrak’s security ecosystem, Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity integrated seamlessly into the infrastructure providing key new insights to drive business optimization goals
DeltaTrak now has the extensibility and scale to easily onboard large multinational clients. Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity gives DeltaTrak a complete end-to-end solution for protecting their largest customers’ data, giving them peace of mind
DeltaTrak can now claim a more “green” and efficient operation with the ability to reprovision SIMs and relaunch IoT devices without the need to open each device
By integrating new data from Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity, DeltaTrak can conduct more comprehensive analysis on their UBQ Network to improve customer experiences, drive operational efficiencies and maintain product quality throughout the supply chain.
Aeris IoT Watchtower Acuity also enables DeltaTrak to maintain high standards of data privacy and security that exceed strict regulations in North America and Europe, providing industry-leading protection for their customers across countries.
