Electro Rent’s new high-performance, easy-to-use IoT tracker helps businesses track test and measurement assets in the field.
Part of Electro Rent’s asset optimisation services, the tracker monitors the locations of assets and communicates back to the company’s LEO asset optimisation software, powered by Oracle Cloud.
The tracker quickly reads the location of any lost or stolen assets via three different methods, selecting the best approach based on the user’s location. The device reads the location of assets by using: GPS satellites with 5 to 10m accuracy; the location associated with any nearby Wi-Fi HubSpot or Wi-Fi router with 5 to 20m accuracy; or the mobile phone network within 100m accuracy.
Thanks to an integral accelerometer, a trigger alarm feature allows easy monitoring following movements. The technology also permits users to zero-in on assets with filters by depot, category, model and date.
The IoT data is accessible via software as a service (SaaS) from anywhere in the world via the user’s cloud-based LEO online account. There is no requirement for local software installation, or for readers in depots or vans.
