Net Feasa a company based in Dingle, Co. Kerry, has launched a €350,000 crowdfunding campaign to seek further investment for its product that tracks shipping containers around the globe.

Net Feasa is an Internet of Things (IoT) service provider for the shipping industry. This means it is part of a network of physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet.

“Our IoT device locates shipping containers anywhere in the world for the lifetime of the container, saving shipping companies a huge amount of time and money. One of the unique features of our device is that it is maintenance-free,” said founder and chairman of Net Feasa, Mike Fitzgerald.

The device, called IoTPASS, physically attaches to a container and transmits geolocation signals back to the Net Feasa data management system on a real-time basis. The device was developed in collaboration with Tyndall National Institute in Cork.
