Tag Readers

Readers are utilized to track vehicles within your facility. Readers are strategically placed at each egress point and other points within the facility where tracking is desired. Unique reader IDs in conjunction with vehicle tag information are the key elements of tracking your inventory.

Field Generators

These devices are utilized to turn on readers before a vehicle passes. Due to the power of vTRACT vehicle transponders, these devices are required to activate readers for the transmission of data.

Vehicle Transponders

Placed in the windshield of each vehicle, these devices are what house the unique RFID chip for each vehicle. These may be reassigned to other vehicles as the original unit is sold or left in the vehicle for eNet's service tracking system "sTRAC". If the transponders are "illegally" removed, an alarm is sounded and information is transmitted to the vTRAC system to alert management.

Each transponder is battery powered; typical battery life is 1-3 years depending on usage. If a battery power does get low there is automatic "low battery" detection via the vTRAC application. Battery replacement is covered via eNet's system maintenance.

Personal Transponder

Optional personnel transponders are utilized for automatic tracking of sales associates/demo tracking. Staff is assigned individual transponders which may be utilized to schedule demos and track vehicles on/off the facility.

Mobile Reader

Vehicles may be easily located utilizing the direction signal strength locator. Vehicle tags may be optionally set to blink or beep to assist in vehicle location.

Wireless Network

In most cases, eNet's supplies a wireless network to interconnect the remote readers to the vTRAC system. In situations where a wireless network is not feasible the dealer is reposible for wiring and network connectivity.
