InVirtus Enhances Asset Tracking with u-blox for Ubiquity and Power Efficiency

Better Asset Visibility for Optimized Operations

InVirtus Technologies specializes in asset tracking solutions that enhance operational efficiency across industries such as logistics, defence, pharmaceuticals, and aeronautics.

With its ivTrack Evo tracking device and AI-powered software suite, InVirtus provides an all-in-one tracking solution for both indoor and outdoor environments.
By leveraging u-blox’s low power position communication technology, InVirtus ensures reliable and secure asset visibility across the globe whilst maximising battery life.

Challenge #1: Precise and Reliable Geolocation Across Varied Environments For asset tracking to be effective, positioning data must be accurate, whether assets are indoors, outdoors, or in transit across international locations. Many tracking solutions struggle with seamless transitions between GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning and indoor tracking technologies such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and WiFi-based geolocation.  Challenge #2: Connectivity and Scalability Issues   Large-scale deployments demand seamless connectivity with multiple networks, including GSM (2G, LTE-M, NB-IoT) for reliable data transmission. Without adaptive network switching, tracking solutions face challenges in ensuring real-time updates across different geographies.  Challenge #3: Device Longevity and Efficiency Industrial asset tracking requires robust, low-maintenance solutions with extended battery life. Typically GPS tracking devices face power limitations that make them inefficient for long-term deployments. InVirtus needed a solution that minimized power consumption while maintaining high tracking accuracy.
