Trackunit has launched 'Spot S300' - a battery-powered fleet tracking device for unpowered equipment.
Spot S300 is designed to give contractors and hirers visibility into unpowered equipment that frequently moves across job sites, including trailers, containers, heaters and other such devices.
It hasn’t always been practical to wire equipment like this for data. Meaning unpowered equipment often stays outside the connected fleet, creating a visibility gap for fleet managers.
Spot S300 requires no wiring, so installers can mount it in minutes. Activation is as simple as peeling off a sticker, and reporting starts almost immediately. It replaces its predecessor, Spot 2. Both models share the same wireless installation, but the former includes enhanced reporting frequency, cellular coverage and deeper device intelligence.
Spot S300 provides a reliable connection over LTE Cat 1 bis, running on standard 4G networks worldwide. It reports its position four times a day by default, which can be adjusted easily in the Trackunit Fit app and in Trackunit Manager.
“Spot S300 is not an incremental update,” said Heini Hoff Brondum, senior vice president IoT Devices at Trackunit. “It’s a ground-up redesign around what construction and rental operations actually need. Dependable data, easy deployment, and battery intelligence.”
In Trackunit Manager, Spot S300 devices are visible alongside powered equipment and tools. That data also feeds Trackunit IrisX, Trackunit’s operating data platform for construction, where fleet managers can build reports and dashboards tailored to how their business runs.
Spot S300 brings location and utilisation data to the equipment that falls outside existing telematics coverage. Site managers can see which assets are active, idle, or sitting in the wrong location, and act on that information before it costs time or money. Greater visibility enables contractors to increase equipment utilization, reduce the time and cost of locating and coordinating assets, and maintain tighter control over project costs.
Spot S300 is available to order, with first shipments scheduled for November.
