Transforming Logistics with IoT Thinking

For Hanhaa CEO Azhar Hussain, the goal was simple: Find a solution for easily tracking parcels anywhere in the world. For the shipping industry, this kind of solution is overdue. Each month, millions of dollars are lost because packages are lost or damaged during transit. After studying the causes closely, the London-based Hanhaa team partnered with Avnet and TE Connectivity to develop ParceLive, an IoT-enabled package-tracking device. As the team quickly learned, coming up with the right idea was only the beginning. Building it, testing it, and bringing it to market was altogether different, requiring the know-how of electronics engineers versed in solving for IoT connectivity. “TE helped us climb a wall before we even realized it was a wall,” says Azhar, adding “TE helped us refine the designs and tune the performance so that the tracker delivered the level of accuracy we needed.”

  1. From Avnet: TE Partnership with IoT Innovator Hanhaa

Learn how custom-designed TE antennas for 5G connectivity enabled IoT-startup Hanhaa to build ParceLive, a reusable, smart system for real-time parcel tracking – from factory to frontdoor. By partnering with TE, and in collaboration with Avnet, Hanhaa went from brilliant idea to working prototype to industrialized product.

The result is a dynamic system that can monitor the location, condition, and security of parcels shipped worldwide.

Solutions for Making Laundry Day Fun and Easy

No one likes doing laundry, especially when you have to fight with your fraternity brothers over the washing machine. For college buddies Charlie Warden, Adam Miller, and Aaron Tate, they saw opportunity. Together, they co-founded Tersa Steam, a start-up that’s working to make clothing care efficient, sustainable, and easy. When Charlie (CEO), Adam (CMO), and Aaron (CPO) discovered TE, through the Arrow certification program, they quickly saw the value of working with a reputable and reliable engineering leader to solve their toughest design challenges.

The concern start-ups have with a big, global brand is getting lost. With TE, the communication is really strong – we’re able to call and ask questions. Plus, having a reliable source for parts that we know are going to work is extremely important.
