No continuous vehicle power
Containers and mobile cargo assets may spend days or weeks detached from a powered vehicle.

FOFN Solutions
Container Tracking
Maintain visibility of containers and mobile cargo assets across long journeys with low-power tracking, geofences and exception reporting.
Solution Overview
Container Tracking
Container movements often cross trucks, yards, ports and warehouses without a fixed power source. FOFN combines long-standby wireless or solar-assisted trackers with cloud monitoring so operators can see the last or current position, movement history, arrival/departure events and battery status. Reporting frequency can be adjusted to balance visibility and endurance.
01
Industry Challenges
Long and multi-stage journeys
Road, yard, port and warehouse movements create many handover points where status can be lost.
Unauthorized movement is hard to spot
A container can be moved, stored in the wrong area or stay too long without immediate notice.
Large inventories are difficult to check manually
Hundreds or thousands of mobile assets require batch views, groups and searchable history.
02
Solution Architecture
Low-power tracker
Wireless long-standby or solar-assisted positioning devices are selected according to reporting frequency and installation conditions.
Flexible mounting
Hidden, magnetic or project-specific mounting can simplify deployment without relying on vehicle wiring.
Event rules
Geofences, movement, vibration, battery and reporting intervals are configured around the transport process.
Asset platform
Container groups, map views, history, alarms, reports and APIs support centralized asset supervision.

✓Batch assets, reports & API
04
Typical Workflow
Register asset
Assign each device to a container or mobile asset ID and record the expected route or destination.
Start journey
Select a normal reporting strategy and activate relevant geofences or movement rules.
Monitor events
Review positions and automatically flag unexpected movement, long stays or low battery.
Reuse & analyze
After delivery, reassign the tracker when required and use history to improve asset turnover and route planning.
05
Solution Value
Less asset blindness
Operators retain a digital location record even when the container is separated from the truck.
Lower manual checking
Automatic location and events reduce the need for repeated phone calls or yard searches.
Better loss prevention
Movement and geofence alarms help teams notice unusual handling earlier.
Higher asset utilization
History and dwell-time visibility help identify containers that are idle too long or circulating inefficiently.
