LoRaWAN GPS asset trackers for shared equipment
An asset tracker is a battery device fixed to movable equipment. It reports position from GNSS satellites, or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth where satellite signal is weak, plus motion, tilt, temperature and geofence alarms.
Know where shared equipment is, and know the moment it leaves.
On equipment that moves and gets lost
- Carts and portable units
Shared items on hospital floors and large campuses.
- Pumps, generators and tools
High value plant moved between sites and yards.
- Temperature sensitive stock
Containers that must stay within a range in transit.
What the readings let a team decide
- Find it
Location on the site model cuts time spent searching.
- Stop removal
Movement or a geofence exit after hours raises an alarm.
- Plan battery swaps
Reported battery level schedules replacements before a tracker goes quiet.
Tracker data points and connection
| Data point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Position | Latitude and longitude, with the positioning mode reported as GNSS or Wi-Fi. |
| Movement | Motion status, tilt, and geofence entry and exit alarms. |
| Condition | Temperature and battery level. |
| Connection | LoRaWAN through a site gateway, or a cellular network off site. |
What is not an asset tracker
Some fixed devices, such as certain cellular level sensors, carry a GNSS receiver only to record where they were installed. Aqueduct treats those as fixed sensors.

Common questions
It depends on how often the tracker reports. Sending on movement rather than on a fixed timer keeps reports, and battery drain, low. Aqueduct shows each tracker's battery level so replacements are planned before one goes silent. See asset observability.
Not on a covered site. Trackers report through the same LoRaWAN gateways as other sensors, and a cellular option covers equipment that leaves the site, such as generators moved between yards. See gateways.
Yes. Where satellite signal is weak inside a building, the tracker falls back to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth positioning, and its location is shown on the site floor plan in Aqueduct. See aQ Core.
Yes. A geofence exit or movement after hours raises an alarm with the tracker's last position, which helps recover high value pumps, carts and tools before they disappear. See hospitals.
