A massive investment of human resources goes into managing the assets of a company, but often manual methods lead to inaccurate assessments, exposing the company to unnecessary risk. IoT (Internet of Things) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) based technology not just make asset tracking and management more accessible but also helps saves a lot of money for a company.

 

To help you choose the right solution for your business and make a smart investment for your assets, Eelinktech came up with a TK-418 CAT-M1/NB-IOT GPS asset tracking device with Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE).

 

Tk-418 is used in many wireless consumer electronics designed for short-range communication, ideal for managing assets of all shapes, sizes, and values. TK418 is the best in class asset tracking device that will provide you with real-time data. TK418 GPS tracking devices IoT sensors also serve as Bluetooth Gateways, enabling local communication with other tagged assets and mobile devices for affordable and efficient asset management and sensor monitoring applications.

 

TK418 asset tracker provides a comprehensive IoT solution to optimize delivery in retail using GPS and BLE equipment. It helps individuals and companies of all sizes to indulge in smart tracking and surveillance of assets. What’s more, this device’s cost is reasonable, and the return on investment is significant.

 

HOW IT WORKS?

Our TK418 IOT Asset GPS device with BLE contains Bluetooth beacon BT01 also serves as Bluetooth Gateways. It features Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS that are concealed onsite or wired or mounted into high-value assets to track the location and find the Bluetooth signals nearby. The BLE beacon can be fixed on any of the lower-valued assets such as tools, stocks, or platforms. it enables local communication with other tagged assets and mobile devices for affordable and efficient asset management and sensor monitoring applications.”

It provides an informative report based on the beacon and sends it to the GPS tracking platform you have used for monitoring,”

 

How TK-418 Asset Tracking Device Has Helped Businesses

Prevent assets from being lost, stolen, or misplaced.

By always being aware of an asset’s real-time location, a business can prevent loss or theft and quickly locate any missing items with ease.

 

Real-Time Asset Management:

By using the TK-418 asset tracker, you will have a picture of your business assets. You can track items as they arrive or move to particular locations by gaining access to real-time reports and status updates.

 

Lower Administrative Costs

Asset tracking eliminates the need for administrative professionals to track down assets manually. This means reduced human error that could lead to asset loss. Moreover, it frees these individuals to focus on other potentially revenue-generating responsibilities.

 

Improve inventory management and ordering process.

With real-time tracking providing valuable data, the stock counting and

 

 

Various Alarm Functions And Sensors

  • Temperature alarm: TK-418 contains condition sensor tags to measure temperature, causing temperature alarm to go off when the temperature exceeds the set range.

 

  • Speed alarm/cut engine when vehicle exceed the speed limit.

 

  • Collision or falling alarm: Built-in G-sensor causing alarm to set off When vehicle collision or falling occurs.

 

  • GEO-fence alarm: When vehicle entry/exit/across the GEO-fence

 

  • Low battery alarm: When the device is disconnected from external power and built-in battery power falls below a certain value

 

 

What is new with TK-418

Relay For the remotely cut engine

The speed alarm sets on when the vehicle crosses the threshold speed allowing the Server or Manager to send cut-fuel-circuit commands to the device and stops the engine. In simple words, Relay helps remotely cutting the engine. The owner can stop the engine from anywhere by cutting off the oil circuit just by sending an SMS, and then the engine can’t start anymore.

 

External Battery

TK418 provides an external battery of (18650 Li-ion Battery x 2 4800mAh). It also has a perk of having a low battery alarm which sets on when the device is disconnected from external power, and built-in battery power falls below a certain value.

 

SOS button

TK418 asset tracker comes with an emergency / SOS button that can be used to raise the alarm if the user needs urgent help. To send the SOS signal, just long-press the SOS button for 3 seconds.

 

Note: you can choose only one out of the three, the sensor for monitoring the temperature, SOS button and external battery for the power supply,

 

 

The TK418 is specially designed to be user friendly and filled with many unique and useful features like:

(1). BLE 5.0 Version

Tk418 is supported by BLE 5.0. It Collects real-time data and broadcast all the necessary through BLE. We can track and monitor Realtime data on the mobile app or other BLE product

Tk418 Can be used together with the host, and the communication is established via Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE).

 

(2). IP65 Dust And Waterproof

The TK418 is designed with a high precision shell to ensure stable operation in a tough environment. It is 100% protected against solid objects like dust and sand, and the TK418 is housed with IP65 protection for a waterproof enclosure.
