What is SmartBox 2

SmartBox includes GPS tracker, EMX probe and li-ion batteryall in a small magnetic waterproof box. SmartBox monitors and transmits data about surrounding environment (temperature, humidity, air pressure, tilt and 3D orientation, G-force and impacts) and also about exact GPS location of the transport. When developing SmartBox our main focus was to make it easy use. That is why SmartBox can be easily fastened to the transport so that it can’t get lost and can be charged just by placing into the docking station.

Smart solution

When developing SmartBox we wanted to make it easy to use. SmartBox can be easily attached to the transport so that it cannot be lost and is easy to charge by placing into the charging cradle.

Two strong magnets

SmartBox has two strong magnets placed on the bottom of the case which makes attachment to any ferrous metal surface a snap– for example placing onto a vehicle frame or a shipping container.

Strap slots for attachment

SmartBox has two slots on each side so it can be easily strapped to most anything.

Charging cradle

Charge SmartBox easily by placing it into the charging cradle. The charging cradle is equipped with spring-loaded, gold-plated contacts ensuring perfect contact when charging. No need to disassemble when charging.
