Knowing where the goods are

Whether sensitive food, special screws or clothing: Goods get regularly lost, spoiled or damaged during transport. Searching for or replacing products costs companies time, money and nerves. The solution: networked trackers. These send signals when a delivery leaves its planned position after the start, an unexpected shock occurs or the temperature inside the delivery container changes. The issue: Especially with one-time deliveries, it does not pay for companies to return the trackers used for the delivery separately. In addition, the batteries of most trackers only last a few days. The low-cost tracker is different: the approximately ten centimetre long and three centimetre high tracker is compact and uses mobile radio technology to save energy. The batteries last up to five years. At the same time, the tracker is inexpensive - so it's worth using it for tracking one-off deliveries.

The main features

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

Use cases for any industry

Low-cost localizations even with One Time Shipments: The tracker signals when the device leaves a defined area or is moved unauthorized.
Benefits:
- Controlled movements
- Less losses and delays
- Use of mobile radio without additional infrastructure
- Enhancement: data evaluation using analytics, e.g. for determining the arrival time
Saving time and money by locating goods on a site: The position of the goods is recorded with an accuracy of up to 50 meters – the company knows whether the goods are in the warehouse or in the store.
Benefits:
- Fewer losses and delays
- Use of WLAN without network knowledge, login, data transfer
- Extension: localization of goods on long distances from the manufacturer (inside) via the transporter (outside) to the recipient warehouse (inside)
Always knowing where the goods are: By locating goods with an accuracy up to one meter, location and shelf height are well known. If the goods leave a defined area or are moved without authorization, the user receives a message.
Benefits:
- Fewer losses and delays
- Fast online inventory
- Use of an installed BLE infrastructure
- Enhancement: Determination of Storage Times for Goods
Sensitive goods such as food must comply with specified temperatures. If temperatures fall below or exceed the specified limits, an immediate warning and troubleshooting on site takes place.
Benefits:
- Less loss due to waste and ensuing damage
- Proof of cold chain compliance and product integrity
- Extension: The built-in sensor triggers a warning message if the threshold value is exceeded or not reached.
Delivery delays due to damages can be avoided by warning messages about goods that have crashed or by comprehensive quality assurance during transport or storage.
Benefits:
- Higher delivery reliability
- Verification of storage and transport quality
- Quick damage assessment for the insurance company
- Extension: The fall of the goods triggers a message thanks to the built-in sensor
