Low Cost Tracker

Smart tracking with the Low Cost Tracker

Low Cost Tracker - READY. SET. TRACK!

You want to digitize your processes? Are your containers, pallets, and goods frequently lost? Do your employees waste a lot of time searching for them? The solution: the Low Cost Tracker. With this networked IoT tracker, you can find and count your goods or containers at the touch of a button. The compact device uses energy-saving wireless technology and is cost-effective. Therefore, it is also worth using for tracking goods for one-off deliveries. Instead of being left in the dark and accepting financial losses, simply locate and connect your machines and goods cost-effectively!

The main features

A variety of measured values:
The Low Cost Tracker shows the location of a product, measures the ambient temperature and detects movement.

Exact localization:
Using WLAN or mobile radio, the low-cost tracker localizes the location of the goods with an accuracy of up to 50 meters. Whether in a factory building or on the high seas.

Flexible data transmission:
The transmission interval is freely configurable. Transmission takes place within a fixed time frame. The tracker also sends notifications of spontaneous events such as unplanned vibrations.

Simple to install:
The Low Cost Tracker can be quickly and easily attached by screwing or riveting. The housing is waterproof and robust.

This is how the Low Cost Tracker works

The Low Cost Tracker can be localized via various networks such as Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), mobile radio or WLAN. By means of temperature measurement or shock detection, its signals are passed on to the IoT platform, which receives a message in the form of "new location after movement". Optionally, there is also the option of API integration in an existing backend / ERP system.

Your benefits with the Low Cost Tracker

Extra long runtime
Compared to other trackers on the market, the Low Cost Tracker's battery lasts not just a few days, but up to five years.

Start instantly
Attach the Low Cost Tracker to the goods and start. All data is collected in real time on the cloud of things and can be viewed at any time via an intuitive web portal.

Low costs
Thanks to the low prices for the overall solution, the Low Cost Tracker is also worthwhile for tracking one-off deliveries.

Maximized security
The goods can always be reached via the reliable mobile network of Telekom. The processing of the data is subject to strict European data protection law.
