Solution Overview

Know Where Every Asset Is — and How It Is Being Used

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

Asset Visibility Gaps PolarGrid Helps You Close

Common operational gaps that lead to lost time, added cost and compliance risk.

Asset Location Uncertainty

Teams cannot quickly locate equipment across yards, customer sites or project locations.

Theft and Unauthorized Movement

Valuable equipment may be moved without approval or outside permitted areas.

Low Asset Utilization

Businesses may purchase or rent additional assets because existing inventory is not visible.

Manual Asset Records

Spreadsheet-based records make traceability slow and error-prone.

Service and Inspection Gaps

Equipment may miss preventive maintenance, calibration or statutory inspection.

Limited Customer Visibility

Rental companies, OEMs and service teams cannot easily provide asset status to customers.

Core Capabilities

Everything Needed to Track and Manage Your Assets

Core capabilities built into the PolarGrid asset tracking platform.

Real-Time GPS Tracking

Track live location for powered and non-powered assets in the field.

BLE-Based Asset Detection

Movement & Tamper Alerts

Get notified of unexpected movement, relocation or tamper events.

Geofence Monitoring

Define zones and receive alerts when assets enter or exit approved areas.

Asset Utilization Visibility

See how often and how long each asset is actually in use.

Battery & Device Health

Monitor tracker battery level and connectivity status remotely.

Service & Inspection Reminders

Schedule and track preventive maintenance, calibration and inspections.

Multi-Asset Cloud Dashboard

How It Works

From Asset Identification to Operational Action

A simple, connected flow from the field to your dashboard.

Asset Identification

Every asset is mapped to a tracker, BLE tag, serial number, QR code or internal asset ID.

Location & Sensor Capture

GPS devices, BLE tags or connected sensors collect location and condition data.

Gateway or Cellular Communication

Data is transmitted through a cellular device, BLE gateway or hybrid architecture.

Cloud Processing

Asset events, locations, movement and service information are processed centrally.

Dashboard & Alerts

Teams view asset status, history, geofences, utilization and alerts from web or mobile interfaces.

Operational Action

Businesses improve deployment, recovery, servicing, rental control and asset utilization.

FAQ

Asset Tracking Questions, Answered

PolarGrid supports a wide range of powered and non-powered assets, including logistics containers, industrial equipment, agricultural implements, construction equipment, rental equipment and other high-value mobile assets.

Yes. Battery-powered, solar-powered or BLE-tagged devices are used for equipment without a continuous power source, such as trailers, containers and agricultural implements.

GPS tracking provides continuous live location and movement history, while BLE tracking detects assets as they pass fixed or mobile gateways. The right approach depends on how visibility is needed for each use case, and PolarGrid selects the technology to match your requirements rather than defaulting to one over the other.

Battery life depends on the device model, reporting interval, network conditions and environmental factors, so it is confirmed as part of your deployment plan rather than a single guaranteed duration.

Yes. Geofence, movement and tamper alerts can be configured for each asset or asset group based on your operational requirements.

Yes. The platform can track service, calibration and inspection due dates and notify your team ahead of time.

The platform is designed with REST API and webhook support, so asset data can be integrated into an existing ERP, CMMS or asset-management system as part of a deployment plan.

Yes. The platform can be delivered under your own brand for OEM, rental or service-partner deployments.
