Hakuto
Turning rugged hardware into intelligent, always-connected logistics solutions
The electronics trading and chemical manufacturing industry sits at the heart of modern industrial progress. From logistics and inspections to asset tracking and mobile workforces, companies increasingly depend on connected devices to keep things moving. As teams and assets become more mobile and data-driven, the need for reliable, secure, and affordable cellular connectivity continues to grow - especially for solutions that go beyond WiFi and are built to last over long deployment cycles.
Background
Hakuto is a Japanese technology integrator focused on bridging the gap between sophisticated hardware and industrial application. A core part of their IoT portfolio is the C66 rugged smartphone designed for logistic operations. By integrating an RFID reader/writer directly into a mobile platform, Hakuto’s tool enables high-speed data capturing in environments where consumer-grade tech fails.
Challenge
Despite having powerful hardware, Hakuto’s customers faced a bottleneck: connectivity silos. Relying on local Wi-Fi tethered workers to specific zones, while standard cellular contracts introduced bill shock and management overhead. To scale across Japan’s logistics corridors, Hakuto needed a connectivity layer that was as rugged and reliable as the C66 itself - essentially a set it and forget it solution that could handle real-time RFID data transmission without the friction of complex provisioning.
1NCE Solution
Hakuto streamlined the C66’s networking stack by adopting 1NCE. This integration turned the smartphone into a globally-ready IoT node right out of the box.
Flat-Rate Economics: Utilizing a one-time-fee, prepaid model removed the unpredictability of monthly data overages.
Integrated Positioning: Leveraging the Device Locator feature, Hakuto enabled network-based tracking for logistics personnel without requiring additional, power-hungry GPS software.
Cloud-Native Data Flow: The LTE-backed SIMs ensure that RFID scans are pushed to the cloud instantly, providing a centralized single source of truth for remote monitoring and inventory management.
Results
Hakuto delivered a significant performance boost to their clients:
Operational Velocity: Shipping and inspection labor requirements dropped by 15% due to smoother workflows.
Plug-and-Play Scaling: Simplified SIM management allowed for much faster field deployments, cutting the time from unboxing to active operation.
Total Transparency: Real-time cloud integration turned siloed field data into actionable business intelligence.
"By implementing a 1NCE SIM in the C66 smartphone, we enable cloud communication via LTE connectivity instead of traditional WiFi, enhancing convenience for users. This also expands the C66 smartphone’s functionality, making it easier for our customers to drive sales."
- Mr. Naoya Funakoshi, Manager, IoT Solution Department, Business Incubations Center, Hakuto Co., Ltd.
