Challenges with Smart Trackers Development

A lack of real-time visibility in fleet management leads to significant operational and financial liabilities. We have identified core challenges that can compromise your bottom line.

Limited visibility

Without real-time data, fleet managers struggle to optimize routes, dispatch vehicles efficiently, and ensure on-time delivery.

Safety & compliance risks

Manual tracking of driver behavior and vehicle health is unreliable, increasing the risk of accidents and non-compliance with safety regulations.

Operational inefficiencies

A lack of deep telemetric data leads to suboptimal vehicle performance, inefficient fuel consumption, and unnecessary maintenance costs.

Integration complexity

Connecting a diverse fleet of vehicles with different communication standards to a single, unified platform is a major technical hurdle.

Our solutions for Smart Trackers Development

Our expertise in smart trackers goes beyond standard approaches. We deliver a complete, modular ecosystem that connects hardware, software, and analytics into a cohesive, purpose-built system.

01 Sensing & contextual awareness

A tracker is only as smart as its data. We move beyond simple GPS by integrating a multi-sensor array that provides crucial context about your assets and environment.

Multi-sensor fusion
We expertly integrate diverse sensor technologies, including IMUs (accelerometer, gyroscope), temperature, and humidity sensors. Our Multi-Sensor Fusion Engine combines these inputs to deliver richer, more accurate insights, such as detecting that an asset has been dropped or is in a critical vibration state.
UWB as a sensor
Our trackers leverage Ultra-wideband (UWB) not just for location, but for its advanced sensing capabilities. This enables precise presence detection and micro-movement analysis, crucial for applications like security and asset verification.

02 Connectivity & Resilience

Unreliable connectivity is a single point of failure. Our trackers are engineered for robust, always-on communication, ensuring your data is never lost.

Multi-protocol connectivity
We seamlessly integrate long-range protocols like LTE-M and NB-IoT for reliable communication in remote or mobile locations. Our solutions also support short-range protocols like BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and UWB for versatile, hybrid deployments that meet your specific needs.
Offline resilience & backup
Our trackers are built with an Offline Resilience & Backup Module that allows them to continue logging critical data even during network outages. Once the connection is restored, all data is automatically synchronized, ensuring no information is ever lost.
Power optimization
We specialize in designing systems for ultra-low energy consumption, significantly extending device operational life. Our expertise includes intelligent PMIC-based architectures and leveraging energy harvesting techniques to create maintenance-free deployments.

03 Action & intelligence

The true value of a tracker lies in its ability to drive decisions. We turn raw data into actionable intelligence at the edge and in the cloud.

Edge data processing
We implement Edge Data Processing Engines directly on the device. This enables local analytics and anomaly detection, which reduces bandwidth costs, minimizes latency, and ensures instant, automated responses to critical events.
Centralized analytics framework
Our Data Analytics & Insights Framework provides a scalable backend for processing high volumes of real-time data from your trackers. This framework supports both real-time analysis and historical trend exploration, transforming data into strategic business value.

Our expertise applies across a diverse range of sectors, enabling you to create transformative products that solve real-world challenges.

Warehousing & logistics

Real-time pallet & container tracking
Monitor the precise location of every pallet and container, from the moment it enters the warehouse to its final destination.
Cold chain compliance
Continuously track temperature and humidity of temperature-sensitive goods during transit, providing real-time alerts and compliance-ready reports.
Fleet telemetry & diagnostics
Integrate our gateways with vehicle CAN bus systems to capture detailed engine parameters and driving behavior, supporting route optimization and predictive maintenance.
High-accuracy inventory management
Our UWB Precision Location Pack enables centimeter-level location within warehouses, drastically reducing inventory check time and ensuring data accuracy.
Supply chain automation
Automate workflows by using our Multi-Source Event Correlation Engine to trigger actions, such as activating alarms or stopping machinery, when assets enter or exit a specific zone.
Hybrid protocols
Our solutions support a mix of wired (CAN bus, Ethernet) and wireless (LTE, UWB, BLE) protocols, ensuring seamless integration with diverse operational environments.

Industrial & manufacturing

Tool & asset tracking
Gain full visibility over every tool and asset on the factory floor, minimizing search time and reducing loss. Our solutions are used in highly regulated environments like aerospace MRO to prevent Foreign Object Debris (FOD) incidents.
Automated guided vehicles (AGV)
We build trackers that provide the localization backbone for AGVs and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), enabling precision navigation and collision avoidance in smart factories.
Worker safety & security
Use our solutions to automatically track the presence of workers in restricted or hazardous zones, ensuring compliance and preventing accidents.
Operational efficiency
Monitor asset movement and optimize material flow to enhance production line efficiency and reduce bottlenecks.

Healthcare & life sciences

Medical equipment tracking
Track expensive infusion pumps, diagnostic tools, and wheelchairs in real-time across entire hospital floors to reduce costly delays and optimize utilization.
Patient & staff safety
Our trackers can locate patients in real-time, enhancing safety and improving response times. They can also be used to track staff proximity to sensitive areas.
Cold chain compliance
Ensure product integrity and regulatory compliance by continuously monitoring the temperature and humidity of pharmaceuticals during transport.

Agriculture

Livestock tracking & health
Monitor the location, movement patterns, and activity of farm animals, helping to detect early signs of illness or unusual behavior and optimize farm management.
Machinery & equipment management
Gain full visibility over the location and usage of agricultural vehicles and equipment across large fields.
