Kuva Tracking Device


Intergis, Cranford, N.J., a provider of mobile resource management and logistics technologies, has introduced the new Kuva, a configurable wireless asset tracking device for the construction and homebuilding industries. The Kuva is designed to enable companies to track and protect high net worth assets, including heavy equipment, vehicles, loads and cargo shipments using GPS/GSM system technology. On assets, the Kuva can be easily attached and immediately provides location, time/date and motion information, which it then transmits to a remote server via the GSM/GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless network. Users can track each transmission, which appears in a Web-based mapping or satellite imagery application with the exact location of the asset being tracked. The data is integrated into the Intergis system or any number of logistics management technologies. The Kuva features proprietary software that allows users to select reporting frequency for each device. Set to send data in “time-only mode,” Kuva can transmit at pre-programmed intervals. Kuva can also be set to report based on specific events, such as movement, no movement, or simply when being polled. Reprogramming the devices remotely or over-the-air (OTA) is easy and efficient and each device can be moved to different vehicles or assets according to need. The compact Kuva devices are encased in sturdy, water-resistant molded-plastic and have internal antennas that enable them to operate within the environmental conditions of any shipment, vehicle, load, machine or asset. The units can be easily hidden on materials to limit detection and feature a fully self-contained, battery-powered unit that may last up to 2.5 years before recharging depending on reporting frequency.
