Containers are stacked, moved by other people, and left for months. A battery tracker inside the frame keeps reporting where each one is, whether or not it can see the sky.
Knowing which container is where means someone reading numbers off steel doors.
Detention and rental charges depend on how long a container sat somewhere, and that is rarely recorded.
A container with another on top of it, or parked inside, gives a solar tracker nothing to charge from.
The FC-113 snaps onto a magnetic mount on the steel frame, or a screw-fix plate.
On the Locate plan each container reports its position once a day and sleeps in between.
iMatrix Cloud shows every container with its location history, so you can see where it is and how long it has been there.
On the $11.99 plan a container reports when it moves and when it leaves a depot or customer site.

Yes. The FC-113 is battery powered, so it does not need sunlight. GPS reception depends on the mounting position; a tracker with a view toward the open side of the stack locates best.
The FC-113 snaps onto a mount. Use the magnetic mount ($14.95) on the steel frame, or the screw-fix mounting plate ($4.95). One mount is needed per tracker.
It depends on how often the container reports. The Locate plan's once-a-day check-in uses the least power. Tell us your reporting interval and we will size it with you. A replacement pack is $23.95.
