Accurately tracking assets indoors is a recurring pain-point in the telematics industry. GPS/GLONASS signals have trouble penetrating buildings; and when the device does not have a direct line to these signals, it malfunctions…
Tamper Detect will alert you when your device is being interfered with – such as when thieves, employees, or other individuals seek to meddle with the device or steal your assets…
One of the key reasons to make use of telematics devices and software is for monitoring Run/Engine hours and odometer readings.
Typically, lone worker tracking involves monitoring employees or assets in areas that do not have cellular coverage and often require some form of duress or “man-down” alerting.
The mechanical contact is generally open and will close when a magnet is close enough in proximity. In a rain gauge, this will activate (open and close) when water passes through the meter.
In the case of hire equipment, hire periods may be charged in hours, or aligned to days/weeks.
Recovery mode uses Jostle Tracking to start and stop trips, using the device’s accelerometer to detect movement.
Running the accelerometer in a low power state is far less energy-intensive than constantly running a GPS module.
When setting up for maximum range, the transmission uses in the order of 130 mA, for 1 or 2 seconds.
A key feature critical to tracking is the ability to effectively detect the start and endpoints of a trip, while still conserving valuable battery life.
Our GPS devices for IVMS use high-quality GPS receivers with low noise amplifiers (LNAs) to boost the signal.
Our 4G device range supports either LTE-M or NB-IoT connectivity, but not both concurrently – Learn more about LTE-M vs NB-IoT here.
The Wiegand Interface is a wiring standard found on card readers and access control systems. It has become somewhat of a de facto standard for such systems.
Driver behavior monitoring is an important safety and cost-saving measure. Our devices allow comprehensive driver behaviour monitoring solutions. With multiple flexible options in order to collect and review data gathered.
Our Yabby and Oyster 2 devices feature Jostle Mode Tracking – where accelerometer activity is used to detect trips/movement.
Authentication means verifying that the device is authentic, the server is legitimate, and verifying the data has not been tampered with.
Designed for short-range communication, this technology can also be applied in fleet management to gather real-time and actionable data from vehicle components, enhancing data collection, diagnostics, and preventative maintenance strategies and accuracy.
During work hours, assets are under heavy use by various operators. However, we only need a few updates per day, to assist the operations team in locating the assets at specific times of the day.
On several of our tracking devices, Geofences can be downloaded directly from TG Online onto the device.
Given the power draw of the accelerometer, this is unfeasible to successfully execute on a battery-powered device – so it is limited to the hardwired device range.
