Digital Matter announced the launch of its Energy Saving Stack (ESS), a powerful new enhancement to the company’s Device Manager ecosystem that delivers up to twice the battery life together with 100% more location updates to its battery-powered asset tracking devices – without any hardware changes.
By significantly reducing energy consumption in the field, ESS enables partners to extend deployments, increase data granularity, and minimise service disruptions – all while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) and environmental impact. For IoT solution providers, it represents a practical path to higher performance, longer revenue cycles, and a more seamless end-user experience.
“Energy efficiency is mission-critical in asset tracking, and our new Energy Saving Stack enhancement gives partners the power to do more – delivering up to double battery life, 100% more location updates, and faster recovery mode from the same trusted devices,” said Loic Barancourt, CEO of Digital Matter. “It’s a strategic upgrade that enables our partners to meet tougher contractual requirements, expand deployments with confidence, and reduce complexity across the board.”
A smarter way to reduce costs and extend value
Every time a battery dies in the field, it disrupts asset visibility – leading to missed shipments, idle equipment, and costly recovery efforts for partners. By extending device life and minimising maintenance, ESS helps keep solutions in the field longer without requiring manual upkeep.
That means fewer site visits, fewer support tickets, and more time generating recurring revenue. At scale, these gains compound to lower TCO and improve ROI across every deployment. For the end customer, it means fewer disruptions and a solution that they can rely on day after day, year after year.
The enhancement also improves responsiveness in Recovery Mode, a feature that enables Digital Matter devices to reconnect and update location after unexpected activity, by enabling more frequent asynchronous check-ins. This gives partners faster insights in critical moments without compromising battery life.
Network advancements deliver real-world efficiency gains
ESS leverages the latest advanced enhancements in 5G cellular network standards. By streamlining communication during check-ins and location updates, the enhancement significantly lowers energy use – unlocking measurable efficiency gains across long-term deployments.
Activated through Device Manager, ESS is currently supported on Barra Edge devices and will soon be available on Digital Matter’s Edge, Fusion, and Core device range.
“ESS is part of a bigger effort to continuously evolve our platform – not just with new products, but by making the ones our partners already use even more powerful,” concluded Barancourt. “This is the latest step in our commitment to continuously strengthen the performance, reliability, and value of every solution we deliver.”
