Part of a long history of FedEx innovations

In 1978, FedEx founder and CEO Fred Smith made a now-legendary statement: “The information about the package is just as important as the package itself.” A few years before, he’d founded FedEx, and a new industry—overnight shipping—was born. And innovation was always part of the journey.

That’s why in 2009, we recognized a customer need for monitoring beyond standard package tracking and data loggers. We revolutionized the shipping industry yet again by developing a first-of-its-kind advanced monitoring service: SenseAware.

SenseAware provided a level of real-time visibility never before possible in shipping—including location, temperature, light exposure, and more. Today, it’s used to monitor shipments of time-sensitive repair parts, priceless valuables, perishable medical samples, and more. We continue to update our live-tracking devices to enhance security, visibility, and flexibility.

Flexibility that makes sense

The LTE device from the M (mobile) series is the most versatile in the SenseAware portfolio. It has an array of sensors, a FedEx proprietary airplane mode, and the ability to operate inside and outside of FedEx transportation networks.
