Hardware

Devices and sensors, chosen for the vehicle and the job

Hardware choice decides what data you can ever collect. These are the device classes we work with and what each one suits.

Four ways to get a vehicle online

Compact units that connect to the vehicle's diagnostic port and start reporting without wiring work.

Best for: Company cars · Light commercial vehicles · Short-term rental and pool fleets
Typical data: Position and speed · Ignition state · Basic diagnostic data
Installation: Self-fitted in minutes; no technician visit required.

Permanently installed units wired to vehicle power and ignition, with inputs for sensors and identification hardware.

Best for: Trucks and heavy vehicles · Vans in continuous service · Vehicles needing sensor inputs
Typical data: Position, speed and ignition · Digital and analogue inputs · Driver identification · CAN bus data via adapter
Installation: Fitted by a technician, concealed and tamper-resistant.

Self-contained units for assets with no permanent power supply, reporting on a schedule and waking on movement.

Best for: Trailers and containers · Generators and plant · Tools and high-value equipment
Typical data: Scheduled position reports · Movement wake-up · Tamper detection · Battery level
Installation: Mounted directly to the asset; reporting interval set to balance visibility and battery life.

The peripheral layer that extends a tracker beyond position into what the vehicle and its load are doing.

Best for: Refrigerated transport · Fuel-sensitive operations · Plant and specialist equipment
Typical data: Fuel level sensors · Temperature sensors · Door and tilt sensors · Driver identification readers
Installation: Fitted alongside a hardwired tracker, wired or wireless depending on the sensor.
