Limited Operational Visibility
Organizations cannot see the live status of vehicles, equipment, assets or environmental conditions.
CONNECTED SOLUTIONS
Industrial IoT Solutions Built Around Real Operations
PolarGrid combines sensors, telematics devices, gateways, connectivity, cloud software and business integrations to solve monitoring, safety, utilization, maintenance and visibility challenges across connected operations.

Solution-Design Philosophy
We Begin with the Operational Challenge
Before recommending any hardware, PolarGrid first works through the questions that actually determine the right architecture:
- What must be detected?
- How accurately must it be measured?
- How quickly must the information be available?
- What action should happen after an event?
- Which existing systems must be integrated?
- What operating conditions affect hardware selection?
From these answers, the architecture may combine GPS, BLE, CAN Bus, wired sensors, gateways, cellular communication, APIs, cloud dashboards and mobile applications — selected for the deployment, not applied as a single fixed template. No two operational challenges are solved with the exact same architecture.

Operational Challenges
Problems Connected Solutions Are Built to Solve
Common gaps across fleets, assets, equipment and facilities that a connected solution is designed to close.
Delayed Incident Response
Temperature excursions, unauthorized movement, machine faults and safety events may be discovered too late.
Disconnected Systems
Hardware, sensors, dashboards and business systems often operate in isolation.
Low Asset Utilization
Equipment and vehicles may be underused because deployment and status are not centrally visible.
Reactive Maintenance
Failures and service requirements are addressed after downtime has already occurred.
Manual Reporting
Spreadsheet-based records make compliance, traceability and decision-making difficult.
Solution Categories
How PolarGrid Solves Your Operational Challenge
Eight connected solution categories, each built around a specific operational problem rather than a single product.
Connected Fleet Operations
Challenge: Limited vehicle visibility, fuel loss, route deviation, unsafe driving and unplanned downtime.
Approach: Combine GPS tracking, vehicle data, CAN integration, alerts, analytics and maintenance visibility.
Typical Data: Location, speed, ignition, trips, fuel, driver behaviour, diagnostics and service status.
Outcome: Improved dispatching, safety, utilization and operating cost control.
Explore Solution →Cold Chain Visibility
Challenge: Temperature excursions, door events, product spoilage, delayed alerts and manual compliance records.
Approach: Connect temperature, humidity and door sensors with GPS trackers, gateways and cloud reporting.
Typical Data: Temperature, humidity, door status, GPS position, trip history, route deviation and sensor health.
Outcome: Faster incident response, lower spoilage risk and better compliance evidence.
Explore Solution →Industrial Asset Intelligence
Challenge: Assets are difficult to locate, movement is unauthorized, utilization is unclear and service dates are missed.
Approach: Use GPS trackers, BLE tags, gateways, geofences and lifecycle records according to the asset's movement pattern.
Typical Data: Current or last-known location, movement, gateway detection, battery, utilization and service status.
Outcome: Faster asset recovery, lower loss risk and better lifecycle management.
Explore Solution →Construction Equipment & Workforce Safety
Challenge: Heavy equipment, tools and personnel operate across changing and potentially hazardous environments.
Approach: Combine equipment tracking, BLE or UWB-compatible location architecture, proximity alerts, operator identification and equipment-status monitoring according to scope. UWB-based positioning is an architecture option evaluated per project, not a default deployed on every site.
Typical Data: Equipment location, movement, utilization, operator identity, proximity events, geofences and maintenance status.
Outcome: Improved equipment control, safer operations and lower tool or rental losses.
Industrial Asset Tracking → Fleet Management → Predictive Maintenance →Battery & Electric Mobility Intelligence
Challenge: Battery degradation, charging uncertainty, service complexity and limited remote diagnostic visibility.
Approach: Integrate supported BMS and CAN data with telematics connectivity, dashboards and alert rules.
Typical Data: SOC, SOH, voltage, current, temperature, charging status, cycles and fault codes when supported.
Outcome: Better battery decisions, reduced downtime and improved service planning.
Explore Solution →Predictive & Condition-Based Maintenance
Challenge: Equipment is maintained reactively, resulting in breakdowns, downtime and poor spare-parts planning.
Approach: Connect sensors, controllers, CAN or industrial interfaces to monitor condition, runtime, faults and trends.
Typical Data: Runtime, vibration, temperature, pressure, current, fault codes, utilization and service status.
Outcome: Earlier warning, improved planning and lower unplanned downtime.
Explore Solution →Remote Industrial Connectivity
Challenge: Remote equipment, facilities and machines lack secure connectivity to cloud platforms or central operations.
Approach: Combine industrial routers or gateways, cellular connectivity, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, VPN-ready architecture, MQTT and APIs according to deployment requirements. Final router, gateway, VPN and network capabilities depend on the selected hardware and deployment design.
Typical Data: Device connectivity, machine status, sensor data, alarms, network status and remote diagnostics.
Outcome: Centralized monitoring, faster troubleshooting and reduced site visits.
Predictive Maintenance → Industrial Asset Tracking →White-Label IoT Business Enablement
Challenge: OEMs, integrators and solution providers depend on third-party branding or disconnected software systems.
Approach: Provide configurable branding, customer management, device visibility, reports, roles, APIs and mobile access according to project scope.
Typical Capabilities: Custom branding, multi-tenant access, customer roles, dashboards, alerts, reports and integrations.
Outcome: Faster market launch, stronger brand ownership and scalable customer management.

FAQ
Solutions Questions, Answered
Architecture is selected based on what must be detected, the required accuracy, how quickly information is needed, the operating environment and the systems it needs to integrate with — confirmed through a technical assessment for each project.
In many cases, yes, depending on available interfaces and the data those devices can provide. Compatibility is confirmed as part of a technical assessment before a solution is finalized.
GPS is generally used when continuous live location and movement history are required, while BLE is used when assets return to known gateways or checkpoints. The right choice depends on the operating environment and how visibility is needed for your use case.
Yes, where supported by the selected gateway or telematics device. Wired and wireless sensors are often combined within the same deployment based on the operating environment and reporting requirement.
Integration support can be provided through REST API and webhook connectivity, subject to project scope and the integration capabilities of your existing ERP, CRM or fleet system.
A pilot is generally recommended before a full rollout so the architecture can be validated under real operating conditions, though the scope and length of a pilot depends on the project.
Yes. Branding, modules and access can be configured for OEMs, integrators and channel partners as part of a white-label deployment, based on project scope.
PolarGrid works across logistics, cold chain, manufacturing, agriculture, construction, chemical processing, electric mobility and other industries where connected visibility is needed, with the architecture adapted to each sector after technical validation.
