Intended Use of the Asset Tracker
Mining
The Bosch Asset Tracker is specifically designed for the mining industry to enhance the management and security of high-value assets. It supports the tracking of large machinery (often referred to as “yellow machines”), light duty vehicles (LDVs), and contractor vehicles used daily on mining sites. Additionally, it aids in the monitoring of capital parts and equipment, ensuring that valuable components and machines are accounted for and protected. The tracker can also be used to keep tabs on toolboxes, preventing loss and misplacement. This comprehensive tracking capability is crucial in the mining sector where the efficient coordination and security of equipment directly impact operational productivity and safety.
Leisure and Commercial
In both leisure and commercial settings, the Bosch Asset Tracker offers versatile applications to enhance safety and security. For leisure, it can be used for toddler tracking and geo-fencing, providing parents and caregivers peace of mind by alerting them if children wander outside a predefined safe zone. Additionally, it’s ideal for tracking sports equipment, ensuring that valuable items are monitored and protected against theft or loss. In commercial contexts, such as educational field trips or large school events, the tracker is invaluable for monitoring school groups, helping coordinators keep track of all participants’ locations to ensure everyone’s safety and timely coordination.
Passenger and Commercial
In the passenger and commercial sectors, the Bosch Asset Tracker provides an advanced “ghost car tracking system” designed for stealth and resilience. This system is engineered to be undetectable by scanners and resistant to jamming attempts, ensuring reliable functionality even under attempts to disable it. The device remains in a dormant state to conserve battery and avoid detection until it is activated remotely through the Ghost application. This feature is particularly valuable for anti-theft and security purposes in both private and commercial vehicles, offering an extra layer of protection that remains hidden from potential thieves or unauthorized entities.
Agriculture
In the agricultural sector, the Bosch Asset Tracker provides essential services to enhance the management and security of farm assets. It facilitates the tracking of farm equipment, helping to monitor the location and usage of machinery such as tractors and harvesters, thus optimizing operational efficiency and preventing theft. The tracker can also be used for seed tracking, ensuring that planting materials are accounted for and managed properly. Livestock tracking is another critical application, allowing farmers to monitor the movement and health of animals. Additionally, the tracker can be used to keep tabs on feed supplies, ensuring that there are no discrepancies in storage or usage. For vehicles, such as light duty vehicles (LDVs) used on the farm, the tracker helps in monitoring their use and ensuring they are used within designated farm areas, enhancing overall farm management and security.
Movable Assets
For managing movable assets, the Bosch Asset Tracker offers robust solutions tailored to the logistics and transportation sectors. It is ideal for container tracking, allowing companies to monitor the location of containers in real time as they move through different stages of the supply chain. Additionally, it can track the contents within containers, providing updates on the status and integrity of the goods inside, which is crucial for maintaining quality control and preventing theft.
The tracker is also instrumental in shipment tracking, ensuring that goods are tracked from the point of departure to delivery, providing transparency and accountability throughout the transport process. Moreover, it supports shipment geofencing, a feature that alerts operators if shipments deviate from their intended route or enter unauthorized areas. This capability is essential for enhancing security and operational efficiency, reducing risks associated with misrouted or lost shipments.

Operating Temperature
-20 to 45 deg/c
The Bosch Asset Tracker is designed to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, with an operating temperature specification of -20 to 45 degrees Celsius. This allows the tracker to function optimally in both extremely cold and moderately hot climates, ensuring reliable performance and durability. Whether used in frosty conditions or under the heat of the sun, the device maintains its tracking accuracy and connectivity, making it an ideal choice for monitoring assets in varying geographical and climatic conditions.
IP65 Certified
The Bosch Asset Tracker’s IP65 certification signifies its high level of protection against environmental elements. This certification indicates that the device is completely dust-tight, preventing any harmful ingress of dust or particulate matter that could potentially impair its functionality. Additionally, it is protected against low-pressure jets of water from any direction, ensuring that it can withstand rain, splashing, and direct hose sprays without suffering damage. This robust level of protection makes the tracker particularly suitable for outdoor and industrial applications, where exposure to such elements is frequent, thus enhancing its reliability and longevity in harsh working conditions.
Rechargeable via USB Cable
The Asset Tracker features a convenient USB cable rechargeability, providing a practical and user-friendly method for maintaining power. This capability allows users to easily charge the device using standard USB ports, which are readily available in various settings such as in vehicles, offices, and homes. The USB charging feature eliminates the need for specialized charging equipment, making it easier to keep the tracker operational without significant downtime. This versatility is especially beneficial for continuous asset tracking operations, ensuring that the device can be quickly recharged and redeployed with minimal interruption to monitoring activities.
Multi-platform Enabled device
ie: GSM, Sigfox, NBioT
The Bosch Asset Tracker is a Multi-Platform Enabled device, offering compatibility with several communication technologies including GSM, Sigfox, and NB-IoT. This diverse connectivity capability ensures that the tracker can operate effectively in various network environments, from the widespread cellular coverage of GSM to the low-power. Sigfox provides a specialized option for IoT connectivity with low data rate requirements, while NB-IoT is ideal for deep indoor connectivity and areas with dense constructions. This multi-platform functionality allows for flexible deployment across different geographic locations and use cases, enhancing the tracker’s adaptability to specific tracking needs and ensuring continuous and reliable asset monitoring under varying network conditions.
ICASA approval
The Bosch Asset Tracker’s compliance with ICASA (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) standards is crucial for its operation within South Africa. ICASA approval indicates that the device meets specific regulatory requirements for communication devices, ensuring it adheres to local telecommunications standards and frequencies. This certification is essential for devices that use wireless communication technologies such as GSM, Sigfox, and NB-IoT, as it guarantees they operate within the legal frameworks and do not interfere with other communication networks. For businesses and consumers in South Africa, ICASA certification provides assurance that the asset tracker is both safe and effective for use in accordance with national regulations.
