Leading container manufacturer and supplier SCF Group has developed an innovative tracking device to take the worry out of transporting valuable assets across Australia.

The award-winning South Australian company has developed the technologically advanced AssetWatch product to meet customer demand for   a simple and more secure way to keep track of movable assets.

SCF Group CEO Richard Sykes says AssetWatch combines motion sensors, GPS positioning and custom configured sensors to gather and transmit precise information about the whereabouts of containers.

‘We are the first container company to take this technology and tailor it into a device that will show a customer exactly where a container is during its delivery right down to the street name,” Mr Sykes said.
 
“We can issue instant reports updating a container’s whereabouts or issue emergency alerts to a customer by email or by text to a mobile phone all through a device that runs on AA batteries.

“It is an advanced technology developed in a way that is easy to attach, simple to use and far more accessible than anything previously on the market.”

SCF group builds and supplies containers for a range of transport, manufacturing and mining companies and Mr Sykes says many have indicated security concerns or a desire to be able to monitor the progress of a container load, particularly in remote parts of Australia.

“The product will be used by more than 5,000 customers and we expect demand to rapidly grow,” Mr Sykes said.

“It offers peace of mind to our diverse range of customers and when you are dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock per container it is vital to protect that asset.”

Established in 1991, the SCF Group is a pioneering leader in logistics, storage and container solutions, which encompasses four divisions; Rail Containers, Tank Containers, Simply Containers and Container Rooms. These brands cater for rail, hazardous liquid transport, small business storage and accommodation.
