Asset Location Uncertainty
Teams cannot quickly locate equipment across yards, customer sites or project locations.
Gain real-time visibility into the location, movement, condition and utilization of containers, machinery, agricultural implements and other high-value assets through connected GPS, BLE and cloud technologies.
Solution Overview
PolarGrid Industrial Asset Tracking combines GPS trackers, BLE tags, gateways, sensors, cellular communication and cloud dashboards to provide visibility for both powered and non-powered equipment, from logistics containers and process vessels to agricultural implements and rental machinery.
The right architecture is selected based on your use case: continuous GPS tracking where live movement history is required, a BLE-first architecture where assets return to known gateways or service points, or a hybrid GPS and BLE approach for cost-optimized visibility across a mixed asset fleet.
Business Challenges We Solve
Common operational gaps that lead to lost time, added cost and compliance risk.
Teams cannot quickly locate equipment across yards, customer sites or project locations.
Valuable equipment may be moved without approval or outside permitted areas.
Businesses may purchase or rent additional assets because existing inventory is not visible.
Spreadsheet-based records make traceability slow and error-prone.
Equipment may miss preventive maintenance, calibration or statutory inspection.
Rental companies, OEMs and service teams cannot easily provide asset status to customers.
Core Capabilities
Core capabilities built into the PolarGrid asset tracking platform.
Track live location for powered and non-powered assets in the field.
Detect tagged assets automatically as they pass BLE gateways or checkpoints.
Get notified of unexpected movement, relocation or tamper events.
Define zones and receive alerts when assets enter or exit approved areas.
See how often and how long each asset is actually in use.
Monitor tracker battery level and connectivity status remotely.
Schedule and track preventive maintenance, calibration and inspections.
Manage every asset, site and customer from one connected dashboard.
How It Works
A simple, connected flow from the field to your dashboard.
Every asset is mapped to a tracker, BLE tag, serial number, QR code or internal asset ID.
GPS devices, BLE tags or connected sensors collect location and condition data.
Data is transmitted through a cellular device, BLE gateway or hybrid architecture.
Asset events, locations, movement and service information are processed centrally.
Teams view asset status, history, geofences, utilization and alerts from web or mobile interfaces.
Businesses improve deployment, recovery, servicing, rental control and asset utilization.
Monitoring Parameters
Parameter availability depends on the hardware and sensors configured for your deployment.
Hardware & Sensor Options
Final hardware selection depends on asset type, installation conditions, required reporting interval, expected battery life, environmental exposure and the need for continuous location history.
Portable trackers for non-powered or mobile equipment.
Extended-life trackers for outdoor or long-duration deployments.
Continuously powered trackers for vehicles and powered equipment.
Low-cost tags for gateway-based detection and proximity tracking.
Fixed or mobile gateways that detect nearby BLE-tagged assets.
Tool-free installation for temporary or repositionable tracking.
Durable housings built for harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
Optional sensors for condition-sensitive equipment or cargo.
Monitor access to containers, cabinets or equipment enclosures.
Detect movement, impact or operating vibration events.
Power options for continuously connected installations.
Simple identification for assets without active connectivity.
Connectivity & Platform Integration
Core connectivity and integration capability behind the platform. Exact technology availability depends on the device and deployment selected.
