In addition, the Vodafone service will provide the customer an end-to-end solution for asset tracking, including a data plan for international connectivity, support and an IoT tracker platform to manage their assets”, explains Sebastian Boll, Product Manager Asset Solar at grandcentrix.
The Asset Solar was originally designed for the tracking of shipping containers, due to its durability this standalone device can also be used for many other tracking purposes as well, and in a wide variety of weather and working conditions.

With these properties, the Asset Solar can also be used for the tracking of any other kind of non-powered or powered assets. Due to an affordable purchase price, the tracker is suitable for the tracking of simple equipment like trailers, generators, tooling, carriers, or ground support equipment”, continues Sebastian.
