Track the uptime of your machines.
This specific use case was meant to monitor machines which tend to run almost all day long.
An example would be stationary diesel pump engines on a construction site. These machines are not necessarily in eyesight all the time, and sending somebody to inspect if everything is running fine can be expensive and time consuming.
For this purpose, we have created a configuration for Rocbird2 which detects the vibrations of the tracked machine constantly, but has a reduced sending interval. The module will transmit accumulated messages every 2-3 hours preserving battery life.
This way you can take a look at the green bars in the statistic view and immediately point out the time when your machine was not operating.
Keep in mind that even though we have tried to optimise the battery usage the best possible way, it still might require changing the battery frequently.
To track the constant runtime of your vehicles, you just need to place the tracking device to a secure location somewhere either on the surface of the machinery or inside the chassis.
Always make sure to not place the tracker in places enclosed with metal as signals won't be able to make it to-from the module.
The Rocbird2 requires vibration/movement to detect runtime.
The battery lifetime depends heavily on the environment the device is in, the quality of the batteries inserted into the tracking device as well as how much the machine is used.
The main factors in estimating the battery lifetime are the following:
average length of usage
average GPS fix time (the time it takes for the module to acquire location depends on how good the signal is)
Here are a couple of scenarios with a battery lifetime estimation for our recommended battery.
