Outdoor Equipment Tracking Solution

Outdoor Equipment Tracking Solution

 

Optimize Outdoor Workflows with GPS and Wi-Fi Combine for Greater Visibility of Open-Air Work Areas

Outdoor operations—such as shipping, airports, seaports, storage yards and manufacturing sites with large outdoor activity—present unique equipment tracking and visibility challenges. With constant stop-and-go activity of diverse vehicles, equipment and carriers in an extensive but often crowded space, losing track of critical assets is a costly problem.

 

The IoEworX solution combines GPS with standard Wi-Fi to provide real-time location and visibility specifically for low-density wireless coverage areas. With accurate tracking of vehicles, equipment and inventory, control personnel make fast, informed decisions that keep operations moving efficiently. Additionally, security can tighten entry and exit controls through lift-gate integration, and track vehicles as they move around or park on the site. By monitoring vehicle usage reports and traffic dynamics over time, operations can ensure that equipment levels always match needs, and gain insights to improve workflow procedures.

 

How The IoEworX Solution Works

The IoEworX solution incorporates a GPS tag either affixed to a vehicle or piece of equipment, or loaned to a driver while on site. Tags are built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and include a long-lasting internal battery. The tags communicate with GPS satellites to determine longitude and latitude, and then send the location data in regular, short bursts over the Wi-Fi network. For environments with vast open space, the signal can travel long distances with minimal network infrastructure. If the asset moves indoors, tracking switches from GPS to Wi-Fi triangulation with no interruption. Using the MobileView software from a control room or mobile device,   workers and dispatchers visualize the location and status on a site map. This real-time visibility can improve operational efficiency and offer insights to optimize outdoor inventory management.
