Sensolus IoT Integration with GoAndTrack: Industrial Asset Intelligence Unified
Sensolus has built its reputation on one specific problem: tracking industrial assets — containers, pallets, trailers, and equipment — that move infrequently, live in harsh environments, and need years of battery life. LoRaWAN connectivity, durable hardware, and a clean API make Sensolus a strong choice for European logistics and industrial operations. Connecting it to GoAndTrack adds the cross-provider intelligence layer that Sensolus's own platform doesn't provide.
GoAndTrack already has Sensolus as an active live integration — real Sensolus devices are tracked in the GoAndTrack production platform right now. This guide explains how to set up your own Sensolus connection and what becomes possible when your industrial IoT data lives alongside GPS fleet tracking, cold chain sensors, and BLE infrastructure in one unified platform.
What Makes Sensolus Different
LoRaWAN + BLE Dual Connectivity
- LoRaWAN for long-range, low-power reporting
- BLE for short-range indoor positioning
- Automatic network selection based on availability
- Works in dense urban networks and remote industrial sites
Industrial Durability
- IP67 rated — wash-down, dust, moisture resistant
- Wide temperature operating range (–30°C to +70°C)
- Vibration and shock resistant for heavy industrial use
- 5+ year battery life on standard deployments
Sensor Suite
- GPS/GNSS positioning
- Temperature and humidity monitoring
- Accelerometer (movement, vibration, tilt detection)
- Tamper detection
European Market Strength
- Strong LoRaWAN coverage across Western Europe
- GDPR-compliant data handling
- Preferred by European pharmaceutical and industrial operators
- API-first architecture for third-party integration
Where Sensolus Fits in the Tracking Stack
Sensolus sensors occupy a specific and important position in the multi-vendor tracking architecture — they're the right choice for assets that don't move frequently but must be monitored continuously. A container parked at a port for two weeks. A pallet in a distribution centre awaiting clearance. A piece of industrial equipment between job sites.
GPS fleet trackers (Teltonika, Queclink) are designed for vehicles that are always moving. Cold chain sensors (Tive, Frigga) are designed for shipments with a defined origin-to-destination lifecycle. Sensolus fills the gap: durable, low-power monitoring for assets that sit between those two use cases — with LoRaWAN coverage across the European industrial infrastructure where these assets typically live.
Integration Setup: Sensolus → GoAndTrack
Generate Your Sensolus API Key
Log into your Sensolus account at cloud.sensolus.com. Navigate to Settings → API Access → Create New Key. Select read permissions for device data and telemetry. Copy the API key and your account endpoint URL.
Add Sensolus as a Provider in GoAndTrack
In GoAndTrack, go to Account Settings → Integrations → Add Provider → Sensolus. Enter your API key and the Sensolus API base URL (cloud.sensolus.com/rest/api/v2/). GoAndTrack will validate the connection and import your device inventory.
Configure Poll Interval
GoAndTrack polls the Sensolus API every 60 seconds by default. For low-frequency reporting assets (daily or 4-hourly), this is more than sufficient. For assets in active movement phases, ensure your Sensolus reporting interval matches your operational visibility requirements.
Set Mission Control Thresholds
Configure temperature thresholds if using Sensolus sensors for environmental monitoring. Set staleness alerts appropriate to your asset's expected reporting frequency — a sensor reporting daily shouldn't trigger a stale data alert after 2 hours.
AI Queries That Work Immediately After Integration
Multi-Vendor Scenarios: Sensolus + Other Providers
Pharmaceutical Logistics: Sensolus + Tive Solo Pro
Sensolus sensors at distribution centre nodes for facility-level temperature and tamper monitoring. Tive Solo Pro on individual shipments leaving the facility for GDP-validated in-transit monitoring. GoAndTrack's AI: "Show me pharmaceutical shipments where the Sensolus facility sensor recorded a temperature anomaly in the 4 hours before the shipment departed." — correlating facility conditions with in-transit excursion risk.
Container Tracking: Sensolus + Traccar
Sensolus sensors on containers at port and warehouse locations (LoRaWAN coverage available). Traccar-connected GPS on the vehicles that move those containers. GoAndTrack query: "Which containers at the Hamburg depot have been stationary for more than 3 days, and which trucks are scheduled to collect from that depot today?" — operational intelligence that crosses sensor and vehicle data.
Industrial Equipment: Sensolus + Blecon
Sensolus for outdoor yard and logistics area tracking (LoRaWAN range). Blecon BLE infrastructure inside buildings and warehouses. GoAndTrack handles the indoor/outdoor transition: equipment moving from yard (Sensolus LoRaWAN) to workshop (Blecon BLE) is tracked continuously with the handover event automatically logged.
Sensolus vs Cellular Trackers: When LoRaWAN Wins
| Factor | Sensolus (LoRaWAN) | Cellular (Queclink/Tive) |
|---|---|---|
| Battery life | 5+ years | Days to months |
| Data cost per message | Near zero (LoRaWAN) | Cellular data costs |
| Coverage dependency | LoRaWAN network required | Global cellular |
| Update frequency | Minutes to hours (power-limited) | Seconds to minutes |
| European industrial coverage | Excellent | Excellent |
| Harsh environment durability | IP67, wide temp range | Varies by model |
| Per-unit cost | Lower | Higher |
| GoAndTrack integration | ✓ Live | ✓ Live |
Key Takeaways
- Sensolus is already a live GoAndTrack integration — connect your Sensolus account via API key in under 5 minutes and your devices appear immediately in the unified dashboard
- Sensolus fills a specific niche: industrial assets that sit still for extended periods in harsh environments with LoRaWAN coverage — where cellular would be overkill and battery replacement would be costly
- The most powerful multi-vendor combinations are Sensolus + Tive (facility and shipment cold chain), Sensolus + Traccar (container and vehicle correlation), and Sensolus + Blecon (indoor/outdoor asset transitions)
- GoAndTrack's AI handles cross-provider queries across Sensolus and all other connected providers — geofence queries, temperature queries, and staleness queries all work across device types simultaneously
- LoRaWAN's strengths (battery life, low data cost, industrial durability) and weaknesses (infrastructure dependency, lower update frequency) make Sensolus a complement to cellular trackers, not a replacement
