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
