Trusted Tracking Solutions for Multiple Industries

Ground Control's Asset Tracking Systems Deliver:

Easy to Install, Rugged Tough Devices

Whether your requirement is for a carry-on, carry-off device, or something permanently, and maybe also discreetly installed, we have a solution for you. All of our devices have been built for purpose, and will withstand extremes of temperature and rough treatment.

100% Global Tracking & Monitoring

All of our trackers have satellite connectivity built in, so you don’t have to worry about losing coverage across the ocean, or through unpopulated areas. Many are dual-mode satellite/cellular, and will switch automatically following lowest-cost routing logic.

Real-Time Telemetry Transmission

Our devices are capable of transmitting multiple IoT sensors’ data to facilitate predictive maintenance. The data from IO sensors for intake valves, service lights, tire pressure, fuel consumption, oil analysis and vibration are key to ensuring your fleet remains operational.

Instant Alert
Notifications

Customizable alert notifications can be set up on entry/exit of geofences, or if a vehicle is moving too quickly, for example. Drivers have access to emergency alert features that can speed up transmissions, and send a time- and location-stamped notification to nominated contacts.

Cargo

How we support this sector

The key requirement here is the robustness of the device. RockFLEET is designed for harsh outdoor conditions, and will reliably transmit location and sensor data from anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky.

SmartOne C is, by design, hard to locate once installed. Battery-powered and affordable, it utilizes the Globalstar constellation which isn't global, but has great coverage over Americas, Western Europe, Australasia and much of Africa.

Orbcomm ST2100 is very cost-effective and designed for low power consumption. It has flexible I/O interfaces including serial RS232.

Key Features of our Global Asset Tracking Platform

Our devices are integrated with our Cloudloop Subscription, Device and Data management platform. With easy to use APIs, partners and customers also have the option to integrate this data directly into their ecosystem. Meaning other services such as traffic and weather patterns can be layered over the data supplied, for an enriched view of fleet operations.

Cloudloop-Tracking-Screenshots

Part of this rich feature set is an online map-based interface which shows you the current and historical locations of your fleet. Cloudloop Tracking delivers vital insights into the whereabouts of your assets, wherever they go, based on hyper-accurate GPS readings from your Ground Control tracking device.

FEATURE OVERVIEW

  • Historical position reporting
  • Real-time asset monitoring
  • Speed monitoring and event tracking
  • Instant notification when the alert button is used
  • Map-based interface

Who Uses Ground Control's Vehicle Tracking Solutions?

Rail Freight Operators

Using a satellite-enabled tracking and monitoring system on rail freight can help reduce theft and increase efficiencies, and ensure goods arrive in peak condition. Ground Control's trackers are small, robust and offer truly global coverage. They provide location data plus inventory monitoring and telemetry data transmission.

Mobile Generator Rental / Owners

Whether you rent out generators, or you own the assets, knowing where they are, and the condition they're in, is essential for peak efficiency. A satellite tracking device from Ground Control ensures that you receive real-time and historical location data for your generators, wherever they go, plus telemetry data.

Fleet Managers

The benefits of GPS truck tracking for fleet managers are well documented: greater efficiency, improved customer communication, enhanced driver and goods safety. With Ground Control, you can extend those benefits to anywhere on Earth. Our trackers leverage satellite connectivity to provide you with real-time location data.

Heavy Machinery Rental / Owners

Whether you rent out or own excavators, loaders, cranes etc., these highly valuable assets are vulnerable to theft as well as requiring regular maintenance to prevent costly repairs. Both issues can be mitigated by fitting a tracking and monitoring device from Ground Control, which delivers global coverage.

Farm Machinery Operators

In the USA alone, there are 1,000 reports of farm machinery theft per month, of which fewer than 20% are recovered. This risk can be mitigated by tracking and monitoring devices. With Ground Control's satellite enabled devices, you'll be able to track your machinery anywhere they go.

Logistics Coordinators

Seamlessly tracking high value assets across oceans and borders requires satellite connectivity. The tracker needs to be discreet, robust, tamper-proof and reliable. Ground Control both builds tracking devices, and works with trusted third parties to ensure that you can track cargo in transit, anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky.
