CargoSense has acquired wireless technology developer Adapt-IP, adding real-time location tracking and three-dimensional asset measurement capabilities to its AI-powered supply chain platform for data center operations.
The acquisition brings Adapt-IP’s patented wireless technology and engineering capabilities in-house as CargoSense expands its system for identifying and resolving logistics problems affecting mission-critical data center construction.
CargoSense provides inbound supply chain oversight for high-value equipment and materials moving into data center construction and fit-out projects.
Its platform uses deterministic AI agents to identify and automatically resolve exceptions, while a 24/7 Human Agent Response Team handles situations requiring human judgment.
Adapt-IP adds physical-world data to that system.
Its wireless technology provides precise location tracking across multiple facilities, long-range connectivity and environmental monitoring. Its Spatial IQ system combines short-, medium- and long-range wireless communications in a single tracker.
The system can provide three-dimensional positioning accuracy within one meter and cover up to 20 million square feet from a single access point, while generating real-time exception alerts.
Adapt-IP’s engineering team, led by CEO Michael McNamara, will now drive CargoSense’s hardware strategy.
CargoSense said the combined platform is particularly relevant as data center construction becomes more complex and increasingly dependent on precise timing for delivery and installation of high-value equipment.
The company cited an estimate from JLL that data center infrastructure and IT investment could total up to $3 trillion by 2030.
