London, UK, Jan 14, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Rail and Intermodal Telematics (IMT) have agreed an exclusive long-term partnership that will add IMT's pioneering monitoring sensors to Hitachi's existing digital freight service. The agreement will allow Hitachi to offer rail freight companies around the world a solution that provides real time monitoring to improve efficiency and safety.

Netherlands based independent solution provider IMT has pioneered the development of digital monitoring sensors and telematics solutions for freight wagons and containers. The sensors verify the exact location of the cars, the loading status, the open/close condition of doors and hatches, the temperature and pressure of the cargo and the health condition of bogies and wheelsets. The data is sent to the Cloud via a solar powered GPS device and allows the condition of the train and its cargo to be monitored in real time, as well as alerting operators about potential issues. The partnership allows the use of AI analytics to optimise the efficiency and safety of its customers' freight services worldwide.

Powered by IMT, Hitachi can now provide fully-fledged telematics solutions that improve reliability and performance for the freight market. The technology can give companies the vital information they need to control their supply chains more efficiently and respond with appropriate interventions more quickly. With global supply chains having faced major disruption throughout 2021 and challenges predicted to continue, the partnership offers enhanced resilience for companies transporting goods via rail freight.

The partnership with Intermodal Telematics will complement Hitachi Rail's purchase of Perpetuum last year. The British rail technology firm, Perpetuum, provides Hitachi with digital solutions that improve train reliability and performance. Its remote condition monitoring detects emerging damage in train bogies long before it can be identified by other means, thus preventing failures, facilitating more efficient maintenance cycles, and increasing the life of the wheels. Coupled with the IMT solution, Hitachi will now be able to completely monitor freight vehicles in real time.

Edoardo La Ficara, Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer for Operation, Service & Maintenance, Hitachi Rail, said:

"Hitachi Rail is focused on growing its digital offer to develop data-driven solutions to meet our customer's complex challenges. Our exclusive partnership with IMT delivers this and enables Hitachi to provide an enhanced digital freight offer across the globe, with a strong initial focus on European and North American markets.

"This solution will enable operators and maintainers to be aware of vehicles' position and status at all times. This will provide a radical evolution for the freight industry, whose railcars are overwhelmingly without any telematics or monitoring whatsoever."

IMT will now exclusively offer the Perpetuum sensor solution in the freight market, which will further broaden IMT's full portfolio in asset and cargo monitoring for the international rail market. Commenting, Dethmer Drenth, Managing Director and Founder of IMT, said:

"This partnership adds a significant value to our railcar market offering as we expand our renowned assets and cargo related monitoring to specific predictive asset maintenance monitoring with the Hitachi/Perpetuum sensor. In that way we create a holistic view of the railcar above and below the axle, alerting the asset and cargo owner on a need-to-know and managing-by-exception basis."

The integration of digital technology has a major role to play in enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, train maintenance and safety. The partnership follows the global mobility firm's strategy of expanding its digital capabilities, including Hitachi's Lumada platform that uses AI and the Internet of Things to turn data into actionable business insights.

The partnership's initial focus for the new digital service will be in European and North American markets. Hitachi Rail is already an established provider to freight operators in North America, where over 34.5 million carloads and intermodal units were transported in 2021, a growth of 4.8% compared to 2020.

SINGAPORE, Jan 14, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - 2021 was a huge year for the cryptocurrency market, with huge strides in growth and adoption of digital assets, NFTs, and blockchain worldwide. It was also an incredible year for Moonstake as we rose to the top rankings of global staking providers, reaching total staking assets of $1.8 billion thanks to the support of our users and partners worldwide. As we begin the new year 2022, Moonstake and our strategic coin partners have much exciting news and programs in store for you as our platforms scale and evolve. To welcome our user community into the exciting new year, we're creating a series of articles in collaboration with our strategic partners on what you need to know about our partner coins in the year 2022, this time with Ontology.
As of April 2020, Moonstake has been supporting ONT staking via strategic partnership with the development team behind Ontology blockchain. Since then, Moonstake has hosted a number of campaigns that promoted awareness of the Ontology ecosystem as well as adoption of ONT staking to global users. Moonstake's partner Binarystar has also been providing great support in marketing efforts with event organization and local community development.

In 2021, Ontology worked on bringing trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through providing decentralized identity (DID) and data solutions. Most notably, the team spent much of last year on the development of Ontology EVM (Ethereum virtual machine), which is scheduled for public release in Q1 2022. The EVM aims to establish seamless interoperability between Ontology and the Ethereum platform, and offer an inclusive experience to developers and users, a crucial step in the realization of the Ontology Multi-VM. Additionally, the team also focused on facilitating smooth user access and experience with DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, and general decentralized applications. In this article, we will be interviewing our partner at Ontology about what is in store for the Ontology ecosystem and its user community in 2022.

Q1 Which 2021 achievements are you the most proud of?

In 2021, we brought our existing products in line with our broader vision for Web3. We launched the Ontology EVM TestNet, in preparation for the 2022 MainNet launch. ONT ID surpassed 1.5 million users in September, reflecting a major endorsement for decentralized identity, and ONT.ID website has been upgraded to provide full decentralized identity solutions to users.

Ontology's global growth has accelerated following our partnerships with bloXmove, ROCKI, ZAICO, and AP.LLC, as well as ONT's listing on Japanese regulated exchanges like Decurret and Huobi Japan.

We've also launched a web-based ONTO Wallet, ONTO Web and a decentralized airdrop distribution tool called ONTO Anydrop, making Web3 easily accessible and providing convenience for our ecosystem partners. Ontology's DeFi lending platform, Wing Finance, also launched on multiple chains including Ethereum, OKExChain, and BSC, together with the support of Any Pool.

As usual, the last year has been full of incredible achievements. We are excited to drive this success further with the help of our ecosystem partners and our global community.

Q2 What measures are you going to take in 2022 to further increase adoption of Ontology?

The MainNet launch of the Ontology EVM will take place during the first quarter of 2022. As part of our multi-VM, it will allow for the deployment of many more dApps on the Ontology blockchain. This approach will not only bring more development, but also will encourage more users to the Ontology blockchain to experience the benefits of a fast, secure, low cost public chain.

2022 is also a year where Web3, and the Metaverse, establishes a greater presence in everyday life for more and more people. Ontology's wallet solution, ONTO Wallet, already has over 750k users, and will provide a gateway into Web3 for many more. As we continue to develop the DID and data solutions that we are known for, which are crucial to Web3's success, more users will be encouraged to create their DID and easily access the latest iteration of the internet.

Q3 What can users expect from Ontology in 2022?

As we laid out in our latest roadmap ( https://medium.com/ontologynetwork/ontology-2022-roadmap-a0036cd72f1b ), 2022 is about building the infrastructure and delivering the tools to make Web3 a success. This means greater interoperability, to make cross chain experiences as seamless as possible. It means more collaboration, as chains bring a varying range of benefits to users. At Ontology, we will continue to develop solutions for DID and data, making sure users are onboarded with ease and experience secure, self-sovereign control over their digital existence.

In short, 2022 means more development, more control, more opportunity and an easy access point into Web3 and the Metaverse with Ontology. We look forward to our continued relationship with partners such as Moonstake, and welcome developers, harbingers, builders and new ecosystem partners to join us in building Web3 together.

Moonstake is proud to be strategic partners of Ontology. We will continue to maintain strong support for the ever growing and developing Ontology ecosystem and hope to bring even more great value to ONT and crypto users worldwide in 2022 to help accelerate adoption of the Ontology and Moonstake ecosystems together.
