Always on, self-sustaining and monitoring for any asset, powered and unpowered

The value of the goods transported by road, rail and sea, are in the trailers, the rail cargo cars and shipping containers. These are all unpowered assets. If a company wishes to track or monitor them, they have to use portable, battery-powered trackers because there is no electrical system. ALL battery-powered devices need manual battery recharging and the cost to send personnel out into the field to recharge batteries is prohibitive. The result? The vast majority of unpowered assets go untracked and unmonitored.

Passive Eye has developed a portable device to track, monitor and protect primarily unpowered assets and it NEVER needs manual battery recharging. Our technology has been granted a United States patent and our application to the European Patent Office is patent-pending.

The current state of the tracking technology

Battery powered devices

The cost to recharge batteries is prohibitive so most unpowered assets go unmonitored and untracked.

Solar powered devices

Batteries cannot charge and discharge at the same time so when a solar tracker is recharging, it is offline and cannot monitor or track an asset.

Passive Eye

Passive Eye’s patented technology means it is always harvesting, always monitoring and provides uninterrupted performance – without the need to manually recharge batteries.

Much more than just asset tracking

Location reports

Passive Eye provides location reports for your mobile assets

Notice of arrival and departure times

On-Start and On-Stop times help to determine asset utilisation and can be used to send alerts for JIT delivery obligations.

Asset utillisation

Our user interface displays the usage intensity per day to help companies allocate their resources more efficiently (to help optimise asset allocation?)

Asset efficiency

We monitor vibration and can distinguish between a motor at idle and at full throttle to help create a productivity index for each monitored asset.

Over-stay alerts

Logistics companies are known by the reliability of their service. Companies can set flags for our system to initiate alerts if individual consignments remain in situ too long.

Geo-fence alerts

Circular, rectangular or polylinear geo-fences can be set to generate alerts when an asset crosses a geo-fence boundary, coming in or going out.

Anti-theft alarms

If mounted on a static asset and a combination of movement and vibration is detected, SMS and email alarms are sent repeatedly until acknowledged or cancelled to help thwart theft.

Damage event reports

In cases where consignments are handled by others, if there’s a claim for content damage, shipping companies are unable to determine responsibility. Our ‘damage event’ reports with the time, date and location can help determine which contractor was handling the goods at the time damage took place.

Route planning / route optimisation

Early adopters will receive access to our route planning and optimisation software for free when the module is released.

Enviromental monitoring
