Solidica has announced a key step in transitioning its breakthrough telematics and smart sensor products from leading-edge military applications to the commercial market via a distribution relationship with GS North America, of New Berlin, Wisconsin.

The award-winning Pantheon Telematics, Diagnostics and Prognostics system will be distributed by North-America's largest and most experienced vehicle network integrator and electro-hydraulic system provider to the ground vehicle and mobile asset industry - a key market for both companies.

"The relationship fit is ideal in many ways," said John Thornton, President and CEO of GS. "GS has the key OEM and customer relationships, as well as strongly complementary products to Solidica's, to deliver market value from the onset.

"Solidica, meanwhile, has a family of telematics and smart sensor systems perfectly designed for the growing and adaptive needs of mobile assets and specialty vehicles. With so many OEMs and their customers looking for product differentiation and greater performance at a healthy economic model, they can now obtain functionality and a competitive edge that cannot be found anywhere else."

Designed to operate in harsh environment applications such as mining, construction, snow management, and utilities, Solidica's rugged telematics and sensor products rank among the industry's most configurable and adaptable, and have repeatedly dominated segment awards for innovation and technological excellence.

When coupled with the products' distributed intelligence design, customers can easily integrate into new or existing platforms and maximize scalability of the overall system - all the while significantly reducing implementation and communication costs. Optional enterprise integration software applications are also available to customers looking to integrate asset data into existing enterprise systems.

Optionally available among the many performance differentiators is Solidica's Event Sensitive Triggering (EST), whereby multiple data and inputs can be combined to create customer-specific data crucial for asset monitoring, longevity and as-needed reporting. Computer-independent operation, web-based visibility and control, and multiple communication options (WiFi, cellular and/or satellite) further enhance the breakthrough platform.

The system also fully integrates with RemoteLogic, a web- based application that provides easy, user-configurable access to information well beyond traditional asset data (such as status, location, alerts, etc.) by linking inventory, spare parts, preventive maintenance, geo-fencing and an 'open rules-based architecture' that can be tailored to individual customer or industry needs.

"This is really a revolution in remote asset management and interoperability," said Jeff Jorge, Solidica's Director of Global Market Development.

"Total machine control for mobile assets depends on robust, rugged sensing systems and powerful, adaptable web-based applications to remotely administer fleets of any size and in any environment. Whether it is connecting to electrical networks, providing GPS location, or aggregating data from add-on equipment such as snow plows or external sensors, our 'any time anywhere' mobile asset management system provides unprecedented control, cost containment and differentiation to OEMs and their customers."

"The needs of our customers vary greatly. To be able to offer such an adaptable system that is agnostic to [cellular] carriers and vehicle types, and that also combines asset data with situational awareness, is a significant leap forward in the industry," added Thornton.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer this capability at one of the industry's lowest total ownership and implementation costs. The alliance between Solidica and GS promises to reduce the cost of entry for OEMs, simplify the integration of systems, and streamline the supply chain."
