Assets tracked
Which industrial assets can be
fitted with a GPS tracker?
From the returnable plastic bin to the mobile machine — the TRAKmy GPS tracker covers every asset on your production site, on the shop floor and between your plants.
The challenges
Why fit a GPS tracker
to industrial assets?
Without visibility over your assets, every workshop and every inter-site flow becomes a source of tied-up capital, losses and production stoppages.
Where are my containers and equipment?
Bins, racks and tooling move between workshops, subcontractors and remote sites. Without a dedicated tracker, there is no way to locate them when production needs them.
Capital tied up in lost assets
Containers never returned by suppliers, forgotten racks, a fleet oversized just to be safe — capital frozen and avoidable repurchasing.
Theft and disappearance of equipment
Valuable tooling, moulds and expensive equipment vanish without trace. Without tracking, these losses stay invisible until the next stocktake.
Maintenance & process compliance
Operating hours, temperature, level, machine status — without objective data, preventive maintenance and ISO 9001 compliance rest on what people declare.
Why invest
ROI of an industrial GPS tracker:
measurable gains
Our manufacturing customers see a fast return thanks to a smaller asset fleet, automated inventories and more reliable maintenance.
How it works
How does an industrial GPS tracker
work, in 3 steps?
From the tracker fitted on the asset to the decision in your MES or CMMS — an automated, integrated flow.
Equip — fitted in 1 minute
A standalone tracker fixed to each asset. No wiring, no power supply. A complete fleet deployed in under a day by your own teams.
Connect — low-power network
Communication over the public NB-IoT network and BLE anchors on the shop floor, with no heavy infrastructure and no SIM card to manage. Coverage in 74+ countries.
Analyse & integrate — Industry 4.0
The TRAKmy platform aggregates, filters and alerts automatically, then feeds the data into your MES, CMMS or ERP with no re-keying.
Step 1
Indoor and outdoor
positioning, unified
Track every asset wherever it is: on the shop floor, in the yard, in outdoor storage or on another site — on a single map, filterable by zone.
GPS outside, BLE & Wi-Fi on the shop floor
One tracker for every environment. Outdoor positioning by GPS, indoor by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with no blind spot between production and the yard.
Plant zones via BLE anchors
GEOBEACON and ZA 3510 anchors mark out your lines, stock areas and docks, plug and play. Every asset is attached to its zone in real time.
Automatic inventories per site
The platform continuously lists the assets present in each workshop or plant — with no manual counting and no spreadsheet.
Step 2
Process sensors
& predictive maintenance
Beyond position, measure the real condition of your assets and your process: temperature, level, opening, machine activity — with automatic threshold alerts.
Temperature, humidity & level
HT 4050 BLE sensors (temperature/humidity) for sensitive zones and processes, FL 4300 for the level of tanks and IBCs. Alerts as soon as a threshold is crossed.
Machine activity & operating hours
The CU 4600 current sensor and the M 4201 magnetic contact detect activity and openings. The hour counter feeds preventive maintenance (TPM).
MES / CMMS / ERP integration
A two-way REST API and MQTT to feed positions, usage and sensor data into your systems. Power BI export on the Analytics plan.

How we brought reliability to
a fleet of 500 inter-plant containers
Continuous location of the containers
From day one, every container revealed its position and its latest movements, across the 4 sites and at the suppliers. The supply manager now has a complete daily view of the circulating fleet.
Automatic inventories per plant
Geofences were drawn around each site. The assets present are counted automatically, per plant and per line, removing manual counts and stocktake discrepancies.
Recovery of assets never returned
An alert is triggered as soon as a container stays too long at a supplier. Targeted follow-up made it possible to recover the dormant fleet and cut repurchasing by 30%.
Data fed into the ERP
Through the API, positions and inventories feed the group ERP directly. No more double entry and a single source of truth for planning and purchasing.
Frequently asked questions
Everything about GPS tracking
for manufacturing
What is an industrial GPS tracker?
An industrial GPS tracker is a standalone IoT device fixed to the mobile assets of a production site: returnable containers (bins, KLT, RTI), tooling, racks, moulds, jigs, tanks, trolleys and inter-workshop equipment. It combines GPS (outdoors) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (indoors) to locate assets in real time, on the shop floor and between sites. It communicates over the NB-IoT network with no SIM card and runs for 5 to 10 years with no recharging. The platform provides automatic inventories, alerts, process condition monitoring and MES/CMMS/ERP integration.
How much does a GPS tracker for industry cost?
A TRAKmy industrial GPS tracker costs between €99 and €250 excl. VAT per unit, depending on the model, the sensors and the quantity. COMPACT from €99 for bins, tools and small containers; ULTRA N+ at €200 for heavy-duty outdoor equipment and full monitoring. International SIM-free NB-IoT connectivity, the web platform, the mobile app, alerts and MES/CMMS/ERP APIs are included in the Essential, Professional and Analytics plans (on quotation). Volume pricing from 100 units. Personalised quote within 24 hours.
How do you track an industrial container or item of equipment with a GPS tracker?
Fitting takes less than a minute: high-power magnets, industrial 3M VHB™ adhesive or screws, depending on the surface. No wiring is needed because the tracker runs on its own battery for 5 to 10 years. Once fitted, it reports its position several times a day over the NB-IoT network, at an adaptive frequency (more often when moving, less when stationary). You see every asset on the TRAKmy platform, filter by site, workshop or equipment type, and receive alerts if an asset leaves a zone or stays immobile abnormally long.
Can assets be located inside a plant (indoors)?
Yes. Outdoors, the tracker uses GPS. Inside workshops and warehouses, it relies on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (BLE). For precise indoor positioning, TRAKmy BLE anchors (GEOBEACON, ZA 3510) are fitted plug and play on the walls and automatically mark out the zones of the plant: production line, storage area, shipping dock, maintenance workshop. Every asset is attached to its zone in real time, with no heavy infrastructure to deploy.
Can the industrial GPS tracker be integrated with an MES, a CMMS or an ERP?
Yes. TRAKmy provides a two-way REST API (pull + push) and MQTT support for real-time integrations. Positions, inventories by zone, alerts, operating hours and sensor data feed automatically into your system. Compatible with SAP, Oracle, Sage and any MES, CMMS or ERP with an API. The Analytics plan adds Power BI export for your industrial dashboards (OEE, utilisation rate, maintenance). Our technical team supports the integration and provides the developer documentation.
How do you monitor temperature, level or machine status?
The tracker pairs with TRAKmy BLE sensors: temperature and humidity (HT 4050) for sensitive zones and processes, fill level (FL 4300) for tanks and IBCs, magnetic contact (M 4201) for cabinet openings, and current measurement (CU 4600) to detect machine activity. Thresholds trigger automatic alerts and feed the operating-hours record, useful for preventive maintenance (TPM) and ISO 9001 compliance.
