CHEP Pallet Tracker User Guide CHEP Pallet Tracker Global location tracking device with the longest battery life Key benefits Helps track the pallets and goods loaded Customer can visualize the device and on pallets by providing real time location hence position of their asset on BXB and environment sensing data. Enterprise application call BRIX. Customer can use the data generated to Customizable User Interface and interface get more insight into their supply chain data visualization tool on BRIX can be flow and take actions to improve the used by customer to generate information efficiency of operation. as relevant to their specific use case. Device can be controlled and configured Each Ultra device fitted with replaceable using BRIX platform and APIs provided. battery and last for >5yrs with 12 standard Customer need to get license to BRIX AA Alkaline batteries. platform to access data from the devices. How is it used Use CHEP Pallet Tracker location tracking Platform and API to : Track your valuable assets Track your shipments to track the device operation CHEP Pallet Tracker is intended for enterprise customers wanting their assets. Customers with BRIX enterprise license will get access to Device management application to configure like logging frequency, ping transmit frequency and can choose the sensor to use like temperature, motion and magneto meter etc. Device can report sensor data every 5min. to once in 3day. Customer can enable the GPS if pallet is expected to work under clear sky. More reports per day shorter the battery life. rules CHEP pallet tracker reports its current location on the scheduled interval along with sensor data. Each communication report from tracker to BRIX is called Ping and BRIX uses these Ping to create the journey using it preoperatory Asset journey algorithm. Customer can login on Asset tracking application module in the BRIX and visualize the complete journey on the map. Please in-between each Ping CHEP Pallet Tracker is in the sleep State, preserving the battery. Customer can monitor 1000s of devices in a comprehensive view on BRIX dashboard and can take corrective actions. CHEP pallet tracker uses Cellular, Wifi or GPS to determine its location and accuracy of location goes from coarse to accurate in the order. Customer can monitor the # of times each tracker has used Cellular, Wifi or GPS. Customer can see the data for only the devices allocated to its own account only but once the customer cancels its account, tracker data will no longer be visible even though device will continue to work &
report data. CHEP Pallet Tracker comes with technology specific global SIM card pre-installed. This SIM card works in designated countries on CatM or NB network while for other countries with no coverage for CatM or NB, it falls back to GSM coverage. Device can also communicate on Wifi provided the credentials for access are sent to device thru profile configuration. User can not originate the connection to CHEP Pallet tracker unless device wakes-up and contacts the cloud application over Wifi or Cellular. When tracker is not connected to network, it continues to store the data off-
line into its memory. Onboard memory on device can store the data worth 6months of sensor logs. CHEP pallet tracker acquires location using Cellular, Wifi and GPS. Logic is built into the device to attempt Wifi first, followed by Cellular and only if both dont result into any valid data, GPS is attempted. This logic is implemented to save power as GPS attempt is most power consuming. Wifi & Cell tower triangulation technology calculates the location of the device based on the location of the nearby cell towers or Wifi hotspots. These are not very accurate, an approximate horizontal positioning error for each type is showsn in the picture here. GPS is the most accurate but takes time and higher power to get a location fix.
