Tracking Container Pools with IoT Trackers

Container management

With our IoT solution for container management, you always have your container pool in view. This increases utilization, reduces losses, optimizes material flows, eliminates the need for manual check-ins, and saves valuable time when searching for containers and load carriers.

Challenge: Containers are lost or underutilised

Missing data about the purpose and location of use

Incomplete information about container inventory

Time-consuming search and management processes

Cost-intensive manual check-ins and check-outs

How pyliot can help

Transparency on container locations

Gain real-time information about the location and usage of your containers to continuously update inventories and avoid time-consuming search processes.

Utilisation KPIs

Detailed data analysis helps you optimize container usage, reduce overstock, and plan logistics processes more accurately.

Automated bookings

Inventory is carried out in real time and digitally synchronized, completely without manual documentation. This minimizes error and increases process reliability.

Compact trackers for container circuits

Our IoT trackers can be easily and flexibly attached to containers—via adhesive, screws, or clamps. Once activated, the system continuously records location and movement data. Thanks to their robust construction, they are ideal for use in dynamic container cycles.

How do the trackers work?

Our trackers capture precise environmental data and location information. The integrated sensors measure temperature, humidity, air pressure, movement on three axes, and light exposure to document comprehensive environmental conditions. For location determination, technologies such as GPS, WiFi, and cellular triangulation are available. The collected data is securely transmitted to the cloud via cellular networks. In specific scenarios, local transmission technologies like LoRa or BLE may be used. In such cases, a gateway is required to reliably forward the data to the cloud. With pyliot, you get everything from a single source.

How long can the hardware be used without maintenance?

The battery lifespan of our trackers varies depending on the application and can last up to 8 years. Factors such as temperature, location updates, recording intervals, signal strength, or sensor data influence longevity. Our trackers are equipped with replaceable or rechargeable batteries, reducing maintenance times and maximizing operational efficiency.

How can tracking data be accessed?

Access your data anytime and from any device through the Pyliot App. The IoT platform provides real-time access, data history, and alerts for threshold breaches to respond quickly.

How many users can use the pyliot App?

There is no user limit. The system administrator can add as many users as needed and set their access permissions individually.

Who can access the data?

Each customer receives a dedicated instance that is exclusively accessible to them. Neither Pyliot nor third parties have access to your data without explicit consent—whether the data is captured on your premises or during transport. Pyliot only accesses your data for support inquiries after obtaining your explicit approval.

Can the data be integrated into other systems?

Our solutions enable seamless integration of all collected sensor and location data into ERP, WMS, or other customer systems. Data can be forwarded or retrieved via direct integration or API interfaces. Our team is happy to assist with technical implementation.

Which objects are suitable for the trackers?

Any objects with economic relevance to your processes are suitable. Trackers should be mounted with as much unobstructed view as possible. They can be fixed, magnetically attached, glued, or secured with cable ties.

What is the activation process?

Devices can be activated at the press of a button or conveniently via the cloud. Comprehensive documentation for commissioning the various trackers is available for your reference.

How many objects can be connected?

Our solution can scale to over 1,000,000 objects across numerous locations and users. With multi-client capability and precisely defined access rights, you can even create individual instances under your brand name for your customers, manage them, and flexibly adapt them to specific requirements.

What costs are involved in tracking solutions?

Costs depend on several factors:
- What parameters need monitoring? (e.g., position, temperature, vibration)
- Real-time tracking or scheduled status updates?
- Which tracking hardware best suits your use case?
- How many assets need to be networked?

In the classic model, costs include a one-time purchase of hardware and ongoing fees for data connectivity and the pyliot App.

Alternatively, we offer a full-service model providing the entire infrastructure as a service solution. This eliminates upfront costs, resulting in predictable, ongoing costs.

Our experts are happy to assist in selecting the most suitable and cost-efficient solution for your needs.
