That advantages exist between the location of assets Affortech vs Satellite Tracking common?

The main advantages are:

costs

  • Devices that do not require connections to complex, costly accessories, voltage regulation etc.
  • The cost of the service is lower when you do not be tracking the well every few seconds
  • It does not require expensive or complex professional installations

Security and Flexibility

  • You can go or not installed on the asset. Its installation is quick and easy
  • You can change the location or asset, easily
  • No cables connected to the cab, vehicle, or trailer. This makes it difficult to find
  • You can go hidden in any place
  • Unlikely that there is manipulation of the device by the operator or another person, as that is not, or cable or guide that takes the device
  • When not to report continuously, it is difficult to find it with devices that listen for sending/receiving wireless signals
  • Thanks to our technology, “Battery Snap Fit”, if there is a problem with the battery, it is required to change the entire device. Only the battery module

Location Intramural and Outdoor

  • Our devices can be located both indoors and outdoors. Not required solely of the GPS signal
  • Can go inside of a container, dry box, and even within the merchandise or product and will continue to report your position while you have cellular coverage
  • Ideal for measuring the telemetry in different points of the trailer or a dry box
  • Minimum maintenance, since it is not exposed to sudden changes in voltage or processing continuous
