KANKANAL Asset Tracker
Rugged, long-life LoRaWAN tracker with hybrid GNSS & Wi-Fi positioning for outdoor assets, vehicles, equipment and mobile infrastructure.
Product Overview
The KANKANAL Asset Tracker is a compact, battery-powered device for long-term tracking of high-value assets, equipment, trailers and field infrastructure. Combining GNSS, Wi-Fi positioning, motion sensing and LoRaWAN connectivity, it delivers reliable location and condition data to KANKANAL DeviceBoard for real-time dashboards, alerts and asset utilisation analytics — all with multi-year battery life and IP67-rated durability.
1. Hybrid GNSS & Wi-Fi Positioning
- Multi-GNSS receiver for high-accuracy outdoor positioning.
- Wi-Fi access point scanning for improved positioning in indoor or urban-canyon environments.
- Automatic selection of GNSS or Wi-Fi methods to provide the best available location.
- Typical position accuracy within a few metres in open-sky conditions.
2. Motion, Tilt & Condition Monitoring
- Integrated 3-axis accelerometer detects movement, vibration and impacts.
- Tilt detection for rollover, lifting or unauthorised repositioning of assets.
- Multiple tracking modes: motion-based, time-based and periodic reporting.
- Built-in temperature sensor for environmental or cold-chain monitoring.
3. Long-Life Battery Power
- Powered by industrial lithium batteries with multi-year autonomy.
- Typical life:
- Up to 15+ years at 2 position updates per day.
- 8+ years at 10 updates per day.
- 4+ years at hourly reporting.
- No external wiring needed — ideal for rapid deployment on existing assets.
- Configurable reporting to balance accuracy and battery life.
4. Rugged Outdoor-Ready Construction
- IP67-rated enclosure for dustproof and waterproof performance.
- IK09 impact resistance for harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
- Wide operating temperature range suitable for hot and cold climates.
- UV-resistant housing for long-term outdoor exposure.
5. Theft Protection & Geofencing
- Geofence rules to alert when assets enter or exit defined zones (yards, sites, regions).
- Tilt and motion alarms for unauthorised movement after hours.
- Tamper detection to trigger events if the enclosure is opened or disturbed.
- All events stream into DeviceBoard for notifications, analytics and incident history.
6. Long-Range LoRaWAN Connectivity
- Built-in LoRaWAN radio for low-power, long-range communication.
- High receiver sensitivity for reliable connectivity in remote or obstructed areas.
- Supports regional frequency plans and standard LoRaWAN security.
- Integrates seamlessly with KANKANAL LoRaWAN Gateways and DeviceBoard asset-tracking dashboards.
7. Data Logging & Reliability
- Onboard memory stores historical location and sensor records when out of coverage.
- Automatic retransmission of buffered data once network connectivity is restored.
- Ensures complete trip history even for assets moving beyond network reach.
8. Simple Configuration & Deployment
- Quick setup using NFC or Bluetooth commissioning tools.
- Remote configuration and firmware updates via LoRaWAN downlinks.
- Mounting options: screws, cable ties or industrial adhesive on vehicles, containers and equipment.
- Compact footprint for unobtrusive installation.
9. Typical Use Cases
- Construction & mining – track equipment, generators, trailers and toolboxes.
- Logistics & fleet – monitor trailers, swap bodies, pallets and mobile assets.
- Utilities & infrastructure – follow field gear, transformers, cabinets and inspection tools.
- Rental & leasing – keep visibility on leased machinery and temporary installations.
- Agriculture – monitor farm machinery, tanks and movable infrastructure across large fields.
10. Key Advantages
- Hybrid positioning for reliable indoor/outdoor tracking.
- Multi-year battery life with zero wiring.
- Rugged IP67 & IK09 design built for demanding environments.
- Rich telemetry with motion, tilt and temperature in addition to location.
- End-to-end integration with KANKANAL DeviceBoard for dashboards, alerts and workflow automation.
