Location-aware alerts provide a significant advantage by combining “where” and “what” into actionable insights. Knowing what’s happening is crucial, but understanding its location enhances decision-making, reduces response time, and improves efficiency. For example, if an asset leaves a designated area or enters a restricted zone, a location-aware alert immediately pinpoints the issue, allowing quick intervention. This is especially important if the alert is generated by a user pushing an alarm button calling for help.
Traxmate’s location-based alert functionality enables context-driven actions, ensuring that alerts are relevant, timely, and specific to the environment. This ultimately reduces noise and boosts operational control.
In short
- Trackers with manual alarm buttons or automatic alerts from accelerometers or similar
- Geofence and tracking alerts
- Targeted alerts sent to specific subscribers, devices, external systems, or end-users
- Configure additional alerts for IoT sensor data such as temperature, humidity, or similar
Alert types
Alert types define different categories of alerts. Each alert type has a customizable name, icon, color schemes, sounds, and severity settings.
These settings allow for unique configurations for various types of alerts, such as SOS, battery, and geofence alerts, as shown in this picture. This ensures that each alert is easily recognizable and distinguishable based on its specific characteristics.
Alert rules
Depending on the use case, you must define when, how, and why an alert should be activated.
Using the alert rules, the user can define alert rules from several predefined templates. For instance, you can set up geofence rules during specific hours.
Traxmate supports the following triggers: Not Present In, Present In, Idle, Place Entry, Place Exit, and Signals. The Signal trigger allows you to set conditions for device signals, such as SOS button presses, battery levels, or temperature readings. Additionally, you can create alert rules to check if your assets are present within an area, outside of an area, or have stopped moving.
