Solar-Powered GPS Tracking with Frotcom
Did you know you can track your fleet and assets with Frotcom using solar-powered GPS devices?
Frotcom GPS Vehicle Tracking and Fleet Management software expands its range of devices to include solar-powered GPS trackers. These devices deliver real-time visibility, even in vehicles or assets that do not provide a power source. By combining solar-charging technology with Frotcom’s advanced tracking features, you gain a reliable and sustainable way to monitor vehicles, trailers, containers, and equipment wherever your assets are located.
How Solar-Powered GPS Works with Frotcom
Solar-powered GPS trackers operate autonomously, storing energy in a high-capacity battery that is charged by sunlight or a cable. Some models, like the rugged, waterproof JimiIOT LL303Pro, can harvest and store enough energy from the sun for continuous operation without external power.
When connected to Frotcom, these devices allow you to:
- View real-time locations
- Receive geofencing alerts when your assets enter or exit set areas
- Trigger theft prevention notifications for unauthorized movement
- Access route history and reports for planning, compliance, and analysis
Why Solar-Powered GPS Tracking is Important
Keeping track of assets such as trailers, containers, or train carts comes with its own set of challenges:
- Limited access to power: GPS units that rely only on batteries must be recharged often, which is impractical when assets are far away or difficult to reach.
- Exposure to harsh conditions: Outdoor equipment must support dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, and physical impact, requiring highly robust devices.
- Need for continuous oversight: Even in isolated areas, up-to-the-minute asset data is crucial for preventing theft, planning logistics, and meeting operational requirements.
Solar-powered GPS technology addresses these issues by providing long-lasting, weather-resistant, and autonomous tracking, enabling assets to maintain visibility and security in even the most challenging environments.
Who Benefits from Solar-Powered GPS Tracking?
Businesses that need to monitor assets without access to power sources can benefit from solar-powered GPS trackers, which offer low-maintenance, continuous solar power, enhanced asset security, and improved operational efficiency:
- Long-haul transport: Track trailers or containers on extended routes without downtime.
- Logistics and storage: Monitor containers in depots or yards without a power connection.
- Multimodal transport: Track train carts in the same platform along with the trucks and trailers.
- Construction, Mining, and Agriculture: Track heavy machinery in off-grid or rugged environments.
- Public sector projects: Support green initiatives while maintaining operational oversight and control.
