Asset tracking system for luxury vehicle manufacturers
Ubiquicom’s solution will enable customers to track and locate vehicles that various business units of the company have as R&D prototypes, vehicles for exhibitions and museum displays, or for dealers.
CUSTOMER: LUXURY CAR MANUFACTURER
A historic Italian automotive company specialising in luxury sports cars.
ASSET TRACKING CHALLENGE
The customer required the ability to locate and track the cars used by different Business Units of the company for their operations, including R&D prototypes, cars for fairs and museum exhibits, and dealers, from anywhere in the world using autonomous devices.
GEO ASSET TRACKING SOLUTION
In order to meet the customer’s needs, UBIQUICOM has implemented a geographical vehicle tracking solution based on tags that use a mix of satellite and proximity technologies, combined with the IoT technologies provided by the mobile network operators for communication.
Continuity of location is also guaranteed indoors thanks to cell-based location (2G/4G), which complements positions calculated using GNSS technologies.
The tags used provide significant advantages:
- The long-lasting, replaceable batteries offer several years of energy autonomy.
- Continuous location on the road, in warehouses, labs, and museums, as well as in road, rail, sea, and air transportation modes.
- The ability to interact globally utilizing various technologies and operators, subject to availability.
Tags can also detect and record:
- Any impact suffered
- Any tampering or removal
The platform receives the gathered data promptly.
Historical data is retained for as long as necessary based on customer requirements.
Using the mobile applications and web client of the Ubiquicom Locator IoT cloud platform, the solution enables the customer to:
- Pair and decouple devices (tags) with vehicles.
- Monitor location and routes
- Historical analysis and configurable reporting
- Configure alerts based on locations, travel times, events, or environmental parameters, including those detected by external sensors.
For example, the solution gives customers the ability to define geographic areas and manage events for entry and exit from those locations.
In addition, the customer can create users and assign them visibility and control privileges: typically, each BU to which cars are assigned has exclusive visibility of its own cars and related events, without access to information about those of other BUs.
RESULTS
Thanks to the solution developed by UBIQUICOM, the client acquired
- complete visibility of the precise location of every vehicle;
- data visualisation on a dedicated dashboard;
- possibility to check at any time the movement history and the status of the car fleet available to each Business Unit (asset lifecycle).
