Orbital Installations provides asset tracking installation services for fleets, warehouses, logistics providers, and asset-intensive operations nationwide.
We specialize exclusively in installation, delivering scalable deployments where equipment is mounted correctly, powered safely, configured properly, and tested thoroughly so it performs as intended from day one.
Asset Tracking System Installation: An Overview
Fleet asset tracking installation involves attaching hardware to vehicles, trailers, containers, equipment, and other assets so that location and status data can be captured accurately and consistently. However, proper asset tracking deployment involves much more than attaching a device.
Professional installation includes:
- Mounting hardware in the correct location
- Integrating power safely
- Placing antennas for optimal signal strength
- Validating data transmission
- Documenting each install for quality assurance
When asset tracking installation is done correctly, your fleet technology delivers reliable, consistent visibility across your entire operation.
Asset Tracking Technologies We Install
The Orbital Installations team supports a wide range of asset tracking technologies, including:
- RFID readers, antennas, and tags
- GPS and GNSS tracking devices
- Cellular and LPWAN asset trackers
- Bluetooth and beacon-based tracking hardware
- IoT sensors for temperature, motion, door status, and utilization
- Hybrid asset tracking devices that combine multiple technologies
Proper installation is essential to ensure optimal performance and long-term reliability across these systems. Improper or DIY installations often result in poor signal quality, intermittent data, device failures, battery drain, and unnecessary downtime.
Common Asset Tracking System Installations
Orbital’s technicians have extensive experience installing asset tracking hardware across a wide range of asset classes, environments, and operating conditions, including:
- Heavy Yellow Iron: Bulldozers, excavators, cranes, and forklifts.
- Trailers & Rolling Stock: Flatbeds, chassis, dry vans, and roll-offs.
- Site Support Equipment: Generators, light towers, compressors, and water tanks.
- High-Value Tools: Job site boxes, Pelican cases, and onsite storage.
- Specialized Assets: Portable restrooms, tractors and sprayers, and other agricultural equipment.
Installations can be deployed at fleet yards, warehouses, distribution centers, job sites, and other locations based on your operational requirements.
Special Considerations for Asset Tracking Installation
Real-world conditions, theft risk, power constraints, and working environments influence how and where hardware should be installed. Our team applies field-proven installation techniques that optimize performance and maximize uptime by accounting for the following critical considerations:
- Visibility and tamper-resistance: If devices are mounted in obvious or easily accessible locations, thieves can easily locate and remove them. We install tracked hardware in concealed locations using tamper-resistant mounting methods to make devices difficult to detect, access, or disable.
- Solar-powered device placement: Mounting location can directly impact battery performance. We’ll evaluate asset orientation, typical operating environments, and sun exposure to ensure the best positioning for consistent direct sunlight and reliable charging.
- Environmental protection and vibration management: Heavy equipment and mobile assets are exposed to constant vibration, moisture, dust, and debris. We’ll select mounting locations and hardware that reduce environmental stress and minimize vibration-related failures.
The result is an installation that not only powers on, but stays on and continues to perform reliably every day.
