IoTgo® Track-Solar: efficient, sustainable and effective asset tracking

Easily track your assets with our self-sufficient, robust, and reliable solution for every type of fleet.

Real-time asset tracking provides a level of insight and efficiency that is unparalleled in the logistics field, but maintaining and powering the hardware that enables such insight can be a time-consuming, complex, and expensive proposition. As a leader in SecurityTech and IoT connectivity solutions, G+D have changed that—with our innovative tracking solution, IoTgo® Track-Solar, which also acts as a full mobile gateway for mesh IoT solutions.

IoTgo® Track-Solar, from G+D, is a maintenance-free tracking device that enables real-time location and condition sharing for all logistics assets that have no power supply. Self-sufficient, robust and reliable, it provides reliable short-cycled movement tracking for all fleets.

Solar tracking variants

Track-Solar iot:

Ideal for monitoring non-powered assets, G+D’s IoTgo® Track-Solar IoT is perfect for intermodal containers. Its flat solar panel, rugged housing, and IP69K-rated protection ensure durable, maintenance-free performance. The device offers flexibility with wired and wireless sensors, various mounting options, and configuration settings.

 

Track-Solar rail:

Optimal for railway environments, G+D’s IoTgo® Track-Solar rail redefines asset tracking with its rugged design and angled solar panel for enhanced energy capture. Its IP69k-rated enclosure ensures over 10 years of maintenance-free performance, resisting severe conditions and vandalism.

Track-Solar in action: case study 

Person in a red shirt standing in front of a red WACKLER truck

Wackler is a transport and logistics company with a wide portfolio ranging from warehousing to full-service logistics and e-commerce solutions.

Their challenge was the lack of visibility of shipments by truck of dry containers and reefer containers carrying temperature-sensitive and time-critical goods. Before, they struggled with excessive standstill times, late arrivals, damage to the cool chain cargo, and the resulting penalties that Wackler had to assume.

Track-Solar GPS-tracking devices provided the perfect solution, granting short-cycled movement tracking of container assets and 24/7 monitoring thanks to self-sustaining devices via solar charging and state-of-the-art global connectivity in combination with the Track-Fleet platform, which allowed for central management of location and status.
