Smart Trailer Tracking with Asset5

Managing a trailer fleet across multiple depots, job sites, and customer locations requires total visibility without operational drag. Unpowered trailers often sit idle between assignments or move quickly between projects, making manual status checks slow and unreliable.

To solve this, a German crane and heavy equipment operator relies on Ruptela’s Asset5 to streamline asset visibility across their operations.

Daily Overview of Standard Operations

For routine management, the German client configures Asset5 to transmit one precise location update every 24 hours. This single daily ping gives fleet managers a complete status map of all assets across every location, ensuring every trailer is accounted for without unnecessary data clutter or drained device resources.

When trailers enter active transit and require closer oversight, the reporting rate dynamically adjusts. Fleet managers can increase tracking frequency to send updates every one to two hours while in motion, providing real-time visibility for high-priority logistics. 

Autonomous Tracking for Trailers

Trailers do not have a constant power source, thus tracking hardware must operate independently. Asset5 features an IP68-rated, weather-resistant enclosure and user-replaceable batteries, so it can operate reliably without drawing power from the vehicle.

By keeping standard reporting twice daily or less, the device can achieve up to 3 years of continuous operation, delivering reliable performance across seasons and harsh job site conditions.
