Localization for asset tracking

Precise positioning on a battery budget

From shopping carts at the edge of a parking lot to cattle on open range, tracked assets need precise location without draining the battery. Point One runs corrections and sensor fusion on the device when the asset must act on its position, and in the cloud when it only needs to be seen.
CORE APPLICATIONS

Keeping every asset precisely located

From retail lots to pastures, backyards to job sites, Point One computes position where it makes the most sense. A pet collar or cart wheel computes on the device because it has to act. An excavator tag streams raw GNSS to the cloud, so the tracker stays small and the machine still shows on the map.

Shopping carts

Precise boundary detection at the edge of the lot triggers wheel locks and alerts on the cart's true position, so carts stop where the property ends, not five meters early or late.

LIVESTOCK

Long-life collars and ear tags report animal location across open range and pasture, with motion detection that tells the device when to sleep and when to report.

PETS

Accurate yard boundaries and fast fixes when a pet gets out, with positioning precise enough to tell a pet lying by the fence from a pet going over it.

industrial EQUIPMENT

Self-powered tags on excavators, trenchers, loaders, and cranes send raw GNSS to the cloud for positioning. They flag after-hours movement and log utilization without drawing on the machine's battery.
positioning engine

On the device or in the cloud, built for low-power trackers

When a tracker must act on its own location, the Positioning Engine fuses GNSS corrections and IMU data on lightweight MCUs inside the tag. When it doesn't, cloud-based positioning does the compute, so the device carries only a small receiver and battery.
Finely-Tuned Motion Models
Asset-specific motion models that account for slow, irregular movement and precise zero-velocity detection, so trackers report change instead of noise.
Tightly Coupled System
Pre-calibrated fusion of GNSS corrections and a low-power IMU that keeps positioning accurate between GNSS fixes.
RTK network

Track with confidence on the most geographically dense RTK network in the world

Point One's RTK Network enables rapid convergence, so a device waking from sleep gets a precise fix before its power window closes. With an average of 40 km to the nearest reference station and corrections programmable to the device, every tracker receives only the data rate it needs.
True RTK (1-2 cm)
Single-baseline and Network RTK that enables centimeter accuracy horizontally and vertically.
Virtual RTK (3-7 CM)
Continental SSR delivery of corrections where wide coverage is important.
DGNSS (<1 M)
Sub-meter corrections at minimal bandwidth for trackers where battery life outranks centimeters.
HARDWARE-AGNOSTIC

Runs on any platform

The Positioning Engine is built to perform anywhere, from the microcontroller in a battery-powered tag to a gateway processor. It delivers identical accuracy across architectures, giving OEMs control over integration, performance, and power.
CROSS-ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT
Runs natively on lightweight MCUs and high-performance processors alike.
PORTABLE CORE
Written in C/C++ for easy integration into custom hardware and software stacks.
FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT
Supports on-module, companion, or external configurations — without sacrificing precision.
WE KNOW ASSET TRACKING

Positioning expertise for your tracker

Most positioning platforms assume steady power and constant connectivity. Trackers get neither. They sleep for hours, wake for seconds, and need a trustworthy fix inside that window. Point One pairs a programmable corrections network with an engine light enough for an MCU, so every action triggers on precise location.

Programmable corrections

Point One's Software Defined Corrections Network sets correction rates and signal configuration per device in real time, so each tracker trades accuracy for battery life on its own terms.

Rapid convergence

Dense station spacing shortens the time from wake to precise fix. Less time searching means less time with the radio on, and more months between battery swaps.

Event-driven API

GraphQL subscriptions push location and boundary events the moment they happen, so your application responds to real movement without running a polling loop.

Fleet management

Device tagging, metadata, and license management for every tracker from one endpoint, whether the fleet is a hundred dog collars or a hundred thousand carts.
