Asset Tracker — Datasheet

Overview

Overview

SGT Asset Tracker is a small, battery-powered tracking device built for unpowered or semi-powered assets — shipping containers, swap-bodies, trailers, generators, plant equipment, ISO tanks and roll cages. It fuses BLE, LoRaWAN, LTE-M / NB-IoT and GPS into one device so it can report from a port yard, an indoor warehouse and the open road without changing hardware.

Designed for 3–7 year sealed battery life on a single non-rechargeable Li-SOCl₂ cell at typical fleet reporting intervals, with an accelerometer-driven motion / tilt / shock detector that wakes the device on movement and goes back to deep-sleep when idle. Magnet, screw and tamper-resistant mounting options for every asset class.

• Multi-radio fusion — GPS outdoors, BLE in warehouses, LoRa for yards, LTE-M on the road
• 3–7 yr battery — motion-aware duty cycle, deep-sleep when idle
• IP67 + tamper-resistant — ATEX variant for hazardous-zone equipment
• Geofence + dwell + shock — three event classes, configurable per asset

How It Works

1. Asset + Tracker — the tracker is bolted, magnet-mounted or strap-fixed to the asset. It samples GPS only when accelerometer says it is moving, and listens for BLE beacons inside warehouses. Tilt and shock thresholds wake the device for event-class reports.
2. Location Fusion — the cloud combines GPS fixes, BLE-beacon triangulation against a gateway map, LoRa RSSI, and LTE-M cell-ID to produce one best-estimate position with an error radius. Indoors-to-outdoors handover is seamless.
3. Map / Cloud Dashboard — every asset on one map, with geofences drawn as polygons, dwell-timers per zone, last-seen / battery / temperature columns, and CSV / API export.
4. Logistics Manager — push and email when a geofence is breached, a container is idle past its dwell-budget, or shock exceeds a transit threshold. One-tap dispatch to the nearest crew.

Features

• Motion-aware duty cycle — reports every 4 h when stationary, every 5 min when moving, instantly on event
• Geofence library — circular and polygon zones, per-asset assignment, enter / exit / dwell events
• Shock + tilt detection — configurable g-threshold and tilt-angle for damage / tipping detection
• Indoor BLE positioning — pairs with low-cost BLE-LoRa gateways for warehouse and yard coverage
• Cold-chain temperature — optional internal NTC sensor for cargo temperature with high/low limits
• Tamper detection — case-open switch + accelerometer signature triggers an immediate cellular alert
• Pool / sharing model — assets registered by ID, attach to any tenant on hookup
• Cellular fallback only — devices stay on LoRa / BLE 95% of the time, cellular only when needed (low data SIM)

Use Cases

• Container & trailer fleets — port-to-yard-to-DC visibility, dwell-billing reconciliation
• Construction plant — excavators, gen-sets, light towers, mobile compressors with tamper alerts
• Roll cages & pallets — retail / e-commerce asset pools with BLE-only low-cost variant
• Cold-chain pharma / food — temperature + location + door for refrigerated shipments
• ISO tanks / IBC — chemical and bulk-liquid containers, ATEX-rated tracker variant
• Rail wagons — solar-assist variant for long-life rail-asset tracking

Product information

Customisation options

• Radio mix — BLE-only (cheap pallet tag), BLE+LoRa (yard), full GPS+LoRa+LTE-M (over-the-road), or solar-assisted long-life
• Form factor — strap-mount container tracker, magnetic plant-equipment puck, slim trailer-frame device, or low-profile pallet tag
• Sensors — base motion + tilt + temperature; add door / hatch reed, humidity, light, fuel-level, hour-meter input
• Reporting profile — chase-cargo (5 min in-transit), retail-pool (1× per 6 h), low-cost (1× per day), or event-only
• Gateway strategy — bring-your-own BLE/LoRa gateways, use our managed yard kit, or rely purely on cellular
• Geofence model — circles only, polygon library, drive-time isochrones, or AI-learned dwell zones
• Dashboard — SGT map UI, embed in your TMS via REST + websocket, or pure webhook to your ERP
• SIM & data — eSIM with global multi-IMSI, your enterprise APN, or private-LTE attachment
