Beacon Overview

Motive Beacon helps companies locate small tools, containers, and other equipment using a compact, low‑cost device designed for field environments. Powered by the Motive Mesh Network, Beacon provides real‑time tracking with frequent pings in populated areas, giving teams continuous visibility into hard‑to‑track assets. With durable and weather‑resistant hardware and a long‑lasting, replaceable battery, Motive Beacon makes it easy to track assets at scale across construction, logistics, utilities, field services, and other physical operations.

Key features

  • Mesh‑Powered Asset Tracking: Uses the Motive Mesh Network to deliver real‑time updates when Beacons travel with Motive‑equipped vehicles in populated areas, keeping small tools, containers, and equipment visible across jobs and sites.
  • Asset Loss Prevention and Recovery: Maintains up-to-date last‑seen locations for small equipment, making it easier to quickly find and recover missing or misplaced assets.
  • Geofence Alerts for Unauthorized Movement: Supports geofence‑based monitoring so you can receive alerts when equipment leaves or enters key yards, job sites, or storage locations, enabling faster response to potential theft or misuse.
  • Fast Rerouting and Redeployment: Provides visibility into where equipment is located so teams can reroute crews, reassign assets, and redeploy underused tools to high‑priority jobs without manual searches.
  • Unified Visibility in Motive Platform: Surfaces Beacon locations alongside vehicles and larger assets in the Motive Dashboard and Fleet App, giving operators a single place to monitor vehicles, trailers, small equipment, and containers.
  • Compact and Rugged Design: Features a compact, lightweight device built for field conditions with IP67‑rated dust and water resistance to withstand tough construction, industrial, and outdoor environments.
  • Simple Installation Options: Installs quickly using adhesive or screws, making it easy to attach Beacons to a wide range of tools, containers, and equipment without specialized tools.
  • Long‑Lasting Battery: Delivers up to 4 years of battery life with a replaceable cell, reducing maintenance overhead and supporting long deployment cycles.
