Geoforce has launched the GT1c, which enables rugged cellular equipment tracking at scale. According to Geoforce, the GT1c has a more cost-effective, purpose-built design to complement Geoforce’s full range of satellite tracking devices.
The GT1c operates on AT&T’s network, built for the next era of IoT connectivity for business. The device’s launch builds on a collaboration with AT&T Business announced in March and represents the first product outcome of the relationship.
The GT1c captures and feeds smart location updates to Geoforce’s mobile-enabled asset intelligence platform, providing field operations and asset managers with visibility into the location, movement and utilization of industrial assets and equipment.
The GT1c has an encapsulated design, reinforced bezel, and intrinsic safety certification to ensure that it can survive in hazardous, heavy-vibration environments and extreme temperature ranges. It’s low price means customers can afford to track almost every asset class, the company said.
Pilot program demonstrates value
In a pilot program with Black Diamond Equipment Rental, the GT1c demonstrated that expanding tracking across mid-tier and small assets is both practical and operationally impactful. The heavy-duty equipment rental company expanded tracked inventory by 26% across smaller and mid-tier construction and oil and gas rental assets. The result was a significant reduction in operational friction and time savings expected to exceed 500 hours per year.
The GT1c is suitable for
- oil and gas
- construction
- military and defense
- industrial/manufacturing
- waste management
- equipment rental.
