I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for
securing, tracking and managing high-value enterprise assets, today announced
that BASF (FRA:BAS), the world's leading chemical company, is expanding its
deployment of I.D. Systems' VeriWise(tm) Track and Trace systems for managing
fleets of trailers, totes, and railcars. 

VeriWise Track and Trace provides real-time data to improve the efficiency and
security of transportation fleets. It is designed for quick, flexible
installation on a wide range of cargo-carrying assets, with patented power
management technology to provide exceptionally long battery life and years of
maintenance-free operation. Track and Trace is also unique in its intrinsic
safety, with Underwriter Laboratories' highest certification for use in
proximity to hazardous materials. 

BASF (www.basf.us) manufactures a broad portfolio of chemicals, plastics,
petroleum, crop protection products, and other materials that contribute to
resource conservation, healthy food and nutrition, and an enhanced quality of
life. Based in Ludwigshafen, Germany, with North American headquarters in
Florham Park, New Jersey, BASF is ranked 71st on the 'Global 100' list of the
world's largest companies, with 2011 revenues of more than [Eur]73 billion. 

'The safe and secure transportation and storage of our products is part of
BASF's commitment to social responsibility and environmental protection,' said
Steven P. Williams, BASF Logistics Technology Manager. 'We are deploying
VeriWise on a diverse range of transportation assets because the system
improves our efficiency reliably and cost-effectively, is easy to install and
maintain, and is intrinsically safe for our sensitive materials. 

'We integrate real-time asset location data from VeriWise with other
information systems to eliminate blind spots in the supply chain, schedule
shipment deliveries more accurately, and meet or exceed government safety and
security standards across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.' 

Darryl Miller, Chief Operating Officer of I.D. Systems, said, 'We are gratified
to expand our relationship with BASF. We remain committed to helping BASF
optimize the efficiency of its North American supply chain through our
affordable, easy-to-deploy asset tracking systems. At the same time, we are
proud of the key role our technology plays in helping BASF meet regulatory
requirements for the safe transport of its products.'
