Enhance Asset Tracking with Datacake’s Advanced IoT and Geofencing Solutions

Through innovative geofencing technology, companies have transformed their container tracking processes. By adopting IoT solutions, they have enhanced operational efficiency and security, minimized losses, increased financial savings, and boosted service effectiveness across various industries.

The Challenge: Ensuring Secure and Reliable Container Tracking

Tracking high-value containers has been challenging, especially when they remain at client locations for extended periods. Previous methods, which relied on IoT devices paired with drivers' smartphones, often faced interruptions due to issues like phones being turned off or Bluetooth disconnections. These limitations highlighted the necessity for a robust tracking solution that could function reliably without dependence on driver devices.

Solution: Datacake with Advanced Geofencing Technology and Reliable GPS Tracking

To address this challenge, an IoT geofencing solution using the LoRaWAN network and GPS trackers attached directly to containers offers an effective approach. This setup ensures continuous monitoring without smartphone dependency. The geofencing-powered Zones feature of Datacake is ideal for long-term tracking, allowing containers to remain monitored at client sites over extended periods without frequent battery replacements.

By setting up virtual geofences, the company can now:

• Monitor Container Movements: Gain real-time insights if containers move beyond set geofences at client locations.
• Enhance Security: Ensure containers stay within authorized zones, lowering the risk of theft or unauthorized movement.
• Optimize Collection Schedules: Identify containers ready for collection, improving logistical planning and container utilization.
• Minimize Losses: Reliable container tracking has led to fewer losses and greater service efficiency.

Leveraging the Helium Network for Nationwide Tracking

The success of this IoT solution is amplified by leveraging the Helium LoRaWAN network. This community-based network, launched in 2021, offers nationwide connectivity essential for large-scale tracking. With over half a million active gateways, Helium is currently the largest LoRaWAN network globally.

Initial tests demonstrated that the Helium network reliably covers entire countries and even extends across borders, thanks to the widespread use of a shared frequency across neighboring regions. This provides seamless, large-scale container tracking without roaming issues.

Despite early skepticism about the Helium network's commercial viability, its successful application in enterprise operations highlights its reliability and scalability for industrial tracking needs.
