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.
