AZTRAXaztrax
Industrial Movement Detection

Know when something moves that shouldn’t.

Aztrax detects unexpected movement of industrial equipment and assets inside defined sites, yards and project areas — without putting GPS and a SIM on everything.

01/THE OPERATIONAL REALITY

The problem isn’t always knowing where an asset is.

It’s knowing when it moves.

PHOTO 02 — NIGHT OPERATIONS · UNATTENDED ASSETS ACROSS PERIMETERS

A generator sits in a contractor yard.
A welding machine stays inside a fabrication area.
A cable reel remains in the material yard.

Nobody expects them to move tonight.

But at 02:17, one of them does.

Who knows?

The Discovery Gap
02:17 AM (Immediate)Vibration and displacement detected. Sub-GHz packet reaches site gateway in <1 second.

02:18 AM (1 Minute Later)Alert delivered to Security Guard cabin and Maintenance Lead phone. Physical verification begins while asset is still at perimeter.
RESULT: Real-time action before the asset leaves the boundary.
02/FIRST PRINCIPLES

Not every asset needs GPS.

If an asset normally stays inside a plant, yard or project site, you may not need continuous coordinates.

You need to know when it moves.

TECHNOLOGY 01

GPS

“Where is it?”

Continuous global coordinates. Engineered for moving vehicles on open roads. Requires clear line of sight to satellites, dedicated cellular modem, active SIM subscription, and high power consumption.

PRIMARY STRENGTH: Long-haul highway transit
TECHNOLOGY 02

RFID & Barcode

“Did it pass here?”

Point-in-time identification. Scanned at stationary gates, portals, or during manual audits. Completely blind to displacement happening between checkpoints or within open project yards.

PRIMARY STRENGTH: Choke-point gate logs
MOVEMENT INTELLIGENCE
THE AZTRAX MODEL

AZTRAX

“Did it move?”

Movement intelligence across a defined site. A compact low-power sensor detects vibration and displacement immediately, communicating through a shared site gateway. No SIM per asset. Multi-year battery life.

PRIMARY STRENGTH: Stationary & semi-stationary plant assets
CRITERIA: SUITED FOR EPC YARDS · REFINERY COMPOUNDS · FABRICATION BAYS · CONTRACTOR SITESZERO CELLULAR SIM OVERHEAD PER ASSET
03/FIELD APPLICATIONS

Three things that shouldn’t move unnoticed.

Aztrax is intentionally not a universal tracking platform for consumer items. We focus on stationary and semi-stationary capital equipment where unexpected displacement creates serious disruption.

01POWER & HEAVY PLANT

Diesel Generator Sets

“A DG set leaves the yard after hours.”

High-capacity generators are routinely parked in laydown areas, contractor compounds, and remote corners of refinery expansion sites. They are heavy, high-value, and assumed to be immobile without cranes or towing trailers. At night, unauthorized hitching happens fast.

02FABRICATION & TOOLS

Welding & Portable Inverters

“A contractor’s welding machine leaves its assigned area.”

Industrial welding machines, pipe-bevelling tools, and mobile compressors migrate constantly between contractors and sub-contractors on large EPC projects. They frequently “disappear” during shift handovers or get loaded into unauthorized pickup beds.

03ELECTRICAL & MATERIALS

High-Tension Cable Reels

“A cable reel moves out of the designated material yard.”

Heavy wooden and steel reels containing expensive copper and high-voltage power cables sit in open material storage yards. Because they are heavy, they are left unprotected by indoor warehousing. Rolling or lifting a drum onto a flatbed takes less than ten minutes.

SCOPE RESTRICTION: ASSETS REQUIRING HIGHWAY/REGIONAL TRACKING OUTSIDE PLANTS ARE BETTER SUITED TO STANDARD FLEET GPS.
04/PHYSICAL ARCHITECTURE

A small device. A site gateway. One clear event.

The system is intentionally simple. We do not stream heavy coordinate data across satellite constellations. An asset moves; the tag transmits; the site gateway reports; the responsible person acts.

01

Asset

PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT

Stationary or semi-stationary equipment inside a defined yard or plant boundary.

02

Aztrax Tag

COMPACT SENSOR

Rugged enclosure bolted or magnetic-mounted. 3-axis accelerometer and vibration filter.

03

Sub-GHz Radio

LOCAL TRANSMISSION

Long-range sub-GHz packets penetrate steel structures, containers, and concrete bays.

04

Site Gateway

LISTENING RECEPTOR

Mains or solar powered. Covers the plant or yard zone. Listens continuously for registered tags.

05

Aztrax Cloud

EVENT CLASSIFICATION

Eliminates false vibration noise. Validates whether movement violates site rules or schedules.

06

Immediate Alert

ACTIONABLE NOTIFICATION

SMS, WhatsApp, webhook or guard-post relay delivered within seconds of physical movement.

ENGINEERING REALITY

Bolted to the machine. Listened to by the site.

Unlike consumer AirTags (which require nearby iPhones) or vehicle GPS units (which require 12V automotive power and continuous 4G SIM plans), the Aztrax device is self-contained. It wakes up on physical motion, communicates over license-free industrial sub-GHz frequencies, and sleeps the rest of the time.

RADIO TRANSMISSION:Sub-GHz (865-868 MHz / 915 MHz)
MOTION DETECTION:3-Axis Digital MEMS Accelerometer
SITE RECEPTION RANGE:Multi-Hundred Meter Industrial Radius
POWER REQUIREMENT:Internal Industrial Cell (Multi-Year)
05/SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Why put GPS on everything?

One gateway can serve many assets.

CONVENTIONAL TELEMATICSINDIVIDUAL VEHICLE MODEL

GPS Tracker on Every Asset

Designed for highway trucks and delivery fleets. Duplicates costly RF subsystems and recurring cellular telecom infrastructure onto every single physical tool.

Dedicated GPS Receiver: Needs open sky view; struggles inside steel warehouses and covered fabrication bays.
Cellular Modem & SIM Card: Every piece of equipment requires its own active telco SIM card and data subscription.
Large Power Draw: Continuous satellite polling exhausts batteries rapidly unless hardwired to vehicle engines.
Excess Telemetry: Generates millions of stationary coordinate pings when the machine hasn’t moved an inch.
OPERATIONAL OUTCOME: High recurring overhead; excessive complexity for stationary equipment.
DISTRIBUTED INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
AZTRAX SITE ARCHITECTURESHARED GATEWAY MODEL

Aztrax Movement Architecture

Separates motion detection from external communication. Deploy light, robust sensors on assets, and let one shared gateway handle site connectivity.

Vibration & Motion Sensor: Wakes instantly upon mechanical movement, lifting, or perimeter exit.
Low-Power Sub-GHz Radio: Long propagation range without cellular SIM cards on individual tags.
Shared Site Gateway: A single gateway on the perimeter pole or office roof covers dozens of tagged assets.
Event-Driven Cloud Relay: Transmits actionable movement events when displacement occurs, zero background clutter.
OPERATIONAL OUTCOME: Clean, manageable deployment; sensor hardware stays economical and rugged.
Responsible Commercial NoteAztrax is currently conducting field validation of its pilot hardware BOM. We do not publish speculative percentage savings until multi-month pilot metrics confirm operational durability in heavy industrial environments.
06/COMMERCIAL CHARTER

Start with one area. Prove it.

We’ll monitor movement, coverage, false alerts and operational value before you decide whether to scale.

What the 30-Day Pilot Proves

This is not a marketing trial or free giveaway. It is an engineering validation protocol designed for Site Directors, Maintenance Heads, and Plant Managers.

  • 01RF Signal Propagation: Confirms sub-GHz packet delivery through your exact layout of steel structures and containers.
  • 02False Alert Filtering: Verifies that routine nearby wind, engine vibration, or shift noise does not trigger false movement alarms.
  • 03Event Latency: Proves that unexpected physical movement triggers notifications to responsible personnel in under 5 seconds.
  • 04Site Team Workflow: Tests whether security desk and shift leads can act on alerts without technical friction.
COMMERCIAL CHARTER: NO ONGOING CONTRACT REQUIRED. AT DAY 30, YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO SCALE BASED ON MEASURED DATA.
