Tracking and logging devices overview

There are several devices available that you can use to track your shipmentsClosed Representation of a physical transport in the DB Schenker IoT platform. or log shipment data using IoT Telemetry.

The devices have different sensors and characteristics, thereby covering a wide range of use cases. The sections below show the telemetry dataClosed Conditions of a shipment that can be measured over time. For example, temperature, humidity, shocks, etc. the devices provide, and on which sensor(s) a door opening alertClosed Indication that an unexpected event occured to a shipment. For example, the door of a truck is detected as opened during the transportation between collection point and delivery point. is based.

Fact sheets are available for all tracking devicesClosed A device that sends live telemetry data to the IoT Platform. Shipments can be monitored in real time. and logging devicesClosed A device that stores telemetry data of a shipment. The data needs to be manually uploaded to the IoT platform afterwards (no real-time tracking). to give you an overview of each type of device.

Important: To keep IoT devices with sensitive sensors safe, store them in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid areas with high humidity, direct light, or heat as these factors can trigger sensors or drain batteries over time. If your device has light, humidity, or motion sensors, block exposure by storing it in opaque or metallic bags.
