Battery Device - Remora Global

Learn about the Remora Global heavy-duty battery-powered asset tracker, engineered for long-term location and movement tracking of non-powered heavy plant, attachments, trailers, and site infrastructure.

Written by Ken Panitz

Overview

The Remora Global (Digital Matter Remora series) is an IP68-rated, heavy-duty battery-powered telemetry unit designed for demanding construction environments. With ultra-large battery capacity, it provides multi-year tracking for heavy non-powered equipment where external power is unavailable.


Target Asset Applications

The Remora Global is engineered for:

  • Heavy Machinery Attachments: Excavator buckets, rock breakers, piling rigs, and hydraulic attachments.

  • Heavy Site Trailers & Floaters: Heavy transport trailers, low-loaders, and material floaters.

  • Fuel Bowsers & Water Tanks: Mobile site fuel cells, water carts, and static bowsers.

  • Laydown Yard Materials: High-value steel beams, pipe spools, and pre-cast concrete elements.


Key Hardware Specifications

Telemetry Capabilities

RAW Data Captured:

  • GPS Coordinates: Periodic and motion-activated location updates.

  • Accelerometer Metrics: Vibration intensity, motion start/stop timestamps, impact detection.

  • Tamper Switch Alerts: Instant alert if device is unmounted from asset.

Implied Platform Analytics:

  • Asset Location & Trajectory: Historical movement maps and laydown yard placement.

  • Vibration Run State: Derived operational hours based on machine vibration patterns.

  • Geofence Boundary Tracking: Entry/exit logging for project laydown areas and work zones.


Summary & Next Steps

  • Key Takeaway: The Remora Global is the primary heavy-duty battery tracker for non-powered site assets requiring multi-year battery endurance and extreme physical durability.

  • Next Steps: Compare with Battery Device - Barra Fusion Cat1Biz for smaller site plant.
