The Jointech JT301A Asset Tracker is a compact, Plaspy compatible device purpose-built for long-term asset visibility across logistics and distribution networks. Designed for container, pallet, and box-truck deployments, the JT301A delivers scheduled LBS location updates together with door open/close detection and illumination monitoring. That combination makes it an economical complement to GPS tracker fleets where periodic location reporting, anti-theft alerts, and low-maintenance operation are priorities.
Engineered for ultra-low power consumption and reusability, the JT301A is rechargeable and lightweight for simple installation and minimal upkeep. When integrated with Plaspy, the JT301A provides cost-effective telemetry and timed tracking that improves supply chain visibility and security without the overhead of continuous GPS-based real-time tracking for every asset.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: out-of-the-box data reporting that feeds scheduled location and status updates into Plaspy dashboards and alerts.
- Low-power, rechargeable design: engineered for long-term deployments on containers, pallets, and non-powered cargo.
- Timed LBS location tracking: periodic cellular-based location updates conserve battery while providing asset position awareness.
- Door open/close detection: on-device monitoring for tampering, loading/unloading events, and unauthorized access alerts.
- Illumination monitoring: light exposure detection to flag unexpected access or container opening events.
- Compact and lightweight: easy mounting and redeployment across mixed fleet operations.
- Cost-effective telemetry: focuses on essential asset status to reduce data and power costs compared with full-time GPS telemetry.
How It Works with Plaspy
The JT301A integrates with Plaspy by sending scheduled telemetry and status messages that Plaspy ingests for reporting, alerting, and historical playback. Rather than continuous GPS traces, the JT301A provides periodic LBS location fixes plus sensor-driven events (door and illumination). Plaspy can combine JT301A feeds with GPS tracker data to deliver a complete picture of fleet and asset movement — using the JT301A for economical, long-duration coverage and GPS devices for real-time tracking where needed.
- Scheduled location and telemetry updates via cellular LBS (timed reporting to conserve battery).
- Door open/close events and tamper detection transmitted as status alerts to Plaspy.
- Illumination (light exposure) alerts that indicate access or unexpected opening.
- Battery and device-health telemetry for maintenance scheduling and long-term asset provisioning.
- Seamless data ingestion by Plaspy for dashboards, notifications, and historical reports.
