Asset tracking

Asset tracking

How it works

This autonomous GPS beacon can be used to check the presence of unpowered assets in their usual location. It transmits its position every 6 hours (4x/day). This beacon allows you to be sure that your assets are where they should be, and to remove any doubt if necessary.

You are alerted if the beacon is on the move, thanks to geofencing.

Tracking

From the main map, click on the icon of the vehicle or asset you want to track. The precise position is displayed on the map, and a banner appears at the bottom of the screen giving details of the beacon and the asset located.

The following information is available:

• The icon indicates the status of the beacon.
• You can access the description of the asset by clicking on its name, in this case "Asset tracking".

• Theicon indicates the connection.
• The icon shows the battery status, in red or green.
• By clicking onyou can view the last four positions of the vehicle, and export the data to a .csv file.
• The icon allows you to access the information and the last position of the beacon.

Setting the position frequency

On the vehicle file, in the ‘Settings’ tab, you can configure the frequency of beacon positions.

• ‘Periodic positions’ or ‘programmed positions’:
  - Periodic positions: enter the desired frequency of positions. The default setting is one position every 12 hours (i.e. 2 per day). See image 1.
  - Programmed positions: drag the cursor. 6 positions can be programmed at 6 different times. Activate the desired positions and the corresponding times. See image 2: here, 3 positions per day are set at 23:45, 2:15 and 6:15.

• Follow beacon on the move: this feature allows you to follow the beacon as soon as it starts moving.
  To do this, slide the slider to YES.
  Then enter the desired position frequency.
  Finally, set the movement trigger threshold. For example, if the trigger threshold is set to 100 metres, tracking will be activated as soon as the beacon crosses this distance.

• Options : you can extend these settings to all the beacons in the geolocation group or to all the beacons in your fleet.
• Don't forget to SAVE before exiting.
