At the heart of the VisTracks asset management capability is a flexible, powerful tracking and alerting service. This service takes in real-time events reflecting position and other values of an asset at a moment in time, queues them for asynchronous consumption by subscribing clients, and, in parallel, directs these events to a rules and alerting engine.

Solution developers can benefit from the VisTracks tracking subsystem in several ways. First, application-specific business logic can be expressed in the underlying rules engine to ensure exception conditions are continuously monitored. Second, the alerting mechanism can be used to initiate dynamic message notifications to individuals or to other software components. Finally, applications may choose to extract the historical data from tracked assets and, with the assistance of the VisTracks Analytics Engine, extract information about the patterns contained within the data.

The VisTracks Tracking Engine is an open system, with programmable interfaces for partners to extend tracking capability to meet specific customer needs.

With VisTracks Tracking Engine, you can

  • Visualize motion of assets over time.
  • Capture asset location history for historical or real-time analysis.
  • Compare motion against specific rule base and notify stakeholders of exceptions.
  • Optimize route generation.
  • Examine and respond to exception conditions.
  • Perform forensic and audit analysis of actual asset movements.
  • Manage mobile workforces.
  • Monitor cargo and container location and instrument scheduling and logistics.
  • Location-centric management and recovery of high-value assets within facility management.
