Construction and heavy equipment
Plant and vehicles that move between sites, are fuelled on site, and are rarely wired for anything.
Construction assets are hard to track for practical reasons rather than technical ones. Plant moves between jobs, often on a low-loader; it is fuelled from a bowser rather than a station; and much of it has no convenient power supply to wire a tracker into.
That is the case a magnetic, battery-powered unit is built for — attached in seconds, moved between assets, and reporting for a long period without maintenance. On-site fuelling is also where fuel accountability is weakest, which makes it the place monitoring repays fastest.
Solutions
What applies to this sector.
Vehicle tracking
Live GPS tracking, route playback, trip reports and geofence alerts for one vehicle or a fleet — with remote immobilisation where it is configured, and anti-jamming options where the risk warrants them.
Vehicle and asset recovery tracking
A wire-free magnetic tracker with up to three years of battery life, built for stolen vehicle recovery and asset protection — deployed in seconds, with removal alerts and configurable reporting.
Fuel monitoring
A sensor in the tank, tied to GPS, so every fuel movement carries a time, a location, a vehicle and a quantity — and an abnormal drop reaches you the day it happens rather than at month end.
Radio communication — PTT and PoC
Two-way radio for teams that need to talk instantly: short-range radios for a site, and PoC radios that carry voice over 4G so a driver in Mombasa and a dispatcher in Nairobi share one channel.
