Alanco Technologies Inc's StarTrak Systems subsidiary has begun delivery on a single contract valued at more than $10 million for its GenTrak wireless tracking system and related monitoring services. This contract represents one of the largest single industrial deployments of wireless tracking and monitoring systems on refrigerated assets anywhere.

GenTrak is a GPS-based, wireless monitoring and control system, initially deployed on marine gensets to monitor the location, operating condition, and fuel levels of both the genset and any connected refrigerated container.

Tim Slifkin, StarTrak president and chief executive officer, said, “The GenTrak contract is our initial entry into the marine cold-chain shipping market, which includes over 700,000 refrigerated containers globally.”
