In today’s global logistics industry, efficient container tracking is essential for ensuring visibility, security, and control over high-value cargo. With growing demands for smarter supply chains, companies are turning to advanced IoT technologies to monitor their assets in real time. The Vanguard VA12 Asset Tracker is designed precisely for this purpose — to empower container tracking with reliability, accuracy, and long-lasting performance.

Enhanced Visibility Across the Supply Chain

The VA12 provides precise location tracking through multi-positioning technologies, combining GPS, Beidou, Wi-Fi, and base station data.
