Installation and activation of trackers

The best way to install your tracker.

The core of the Sensolus solution is that you attach a tracker to the (non-powered) asset you want to follow up remotely with the goal to learn where your asset is, but also about the behavior of your assets, how they travel through your supply chain an if they are used in an optimized way.

By attaching a tracker to your physical assets you create the digital twin of the asset you want to follow-up on the Sensolus platform. The tracker communicates the information it gathers about your asset directly over the internet to the Sensolus platform.

The right installation procedure depends on the type of tracker. For each tracker an installation manual is available online. Go to the explanation of your tracker to find the right manual. Follow the instructions to avoid problems due to mistakes during installation.

For some assets that are often tracked with Sensolus trackers, we also made asset-specific installation guides.

Next to the installation you also have to activate your tracker. This means it starts communicating over the internet. How to activate a tracker depends on the type of tracker. When you activate a tracker the status of the tracker on the platform changes from the state to the state.

The most effective way to create this link between a particular asset and a particular tracker, is by using the Sensolus mobile application, where you can scan the tracker’s QR code or barcode, and type in or scan the asset’s unique identifier as well.

Note: it is very important to verify that the tracker that is installed on an asset has been correctly activated, before allowing the asset to be used again. To verify that the tracker has been activated, make sure your tracker has the marker in the Sensolus platform, or check the manual of your specific type of tracker.
