About The Customer
Trucker Path is America’s fastest-growing platform for the trucking industry, providing navigational assistance and truckload sourcing. Since 2013, Trucker Path has offered a logistics platform that connects carriers, shippers, and brokers in a single marketplace while also providing logistical, factoring, and navigational services. With 35% of US Class 8 (big rig) truckers and growing, Trucker Path is innovating the legacy 700 B+ Trucking Industry, aiming to eliminate inefficiencies in transportation.
The Challenge
Trucker Path, a logistics platform that connects carriers, shippers, and brokers in a single marketplace, needed a reliable security solution to ensure the safety and security of its fast-growing volumes of partners’ data. The solution had to protect both applications and APIs from OWASP Top 10 threats. Trucker Path deals with time-sensitive business-critical information, both from their broker partners and from their mobile application users. Therefore, it was crucial to have a strong security solution in place to make sure their data is safe and secure.
The Solution
Trucker Path chose Wallarm as their security solution due to its ease of use and installation in a microservices architecture. During the planning stages, Trucker Path designed their data flows to architect Wallarm into their routing and load-balancing layers. Wallarm was integrated with an Ansible automation system and was easily deployed in AWS infrastructure. Wallarm fully supports AWS for running Wallarm nodes that are even available as AMI images. Since Trucker Path initially started working with Wallarm 15 months ago, it has already increased the number of filtration nodes to keep up with the increasing volume of application data.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
