  • Page 14: Functionality And Operation

    3 Functionality and Operation 3.1.1 Tracking with Geolocation STORK tracks assets indoors and outdoors using low-power GNSS, Wi-Fi, and BLE scanning. Geolocation cycles occur regularly, with up to three scans in each cycle. It's vital to set the geolocation update period longer than the expected cycle duration to prevent data loss.
  • Page 15 ALL SCANS • All defined scans always done. Tailor the geolocation strategy to the STORK deployment's specific use case. For instance: 1. Delivery vehicle tracking: Use FALLBACK with priority on GNSS, then Wi-Fi, and finally BLE. Since vehicles are mainly outdoors, GNSS is likely to be the most successful, followed by Wi-Fi and BLE.
  • Page 16 §3 Functionality and Operation STORK UG The default strategy is FALLBACK with GNSS, Wi-Fi, and BLE in priority order (scan logic A). See Figure 3-2 for details, with additional strategies in Appendix 3. Figure 3-2: Default Geolocation Strategy Cycle Flow With all geolocation strategies, if all scans fail, the geolocation cycle failed message is sent.
  • Page 17: Temperature And Relative Humidity Transducer

    3.1.2 Temperature and Relative Humidity Transducer STORK features a temperature and RH transducer, though its response time may not be immediate due to its location inside the housing. Vents allow air to reach the transducer, and airflow over the sensor can speed up response time.
  • Page 18: Magnetic Sensor

    3.1.5 Magnetic Sensor The STORK is equipped with a magnetic hall-effect sensor . Since the enclosures are fully sealed, there is no ability to have a battery pull-tab or reset button pinhole. The magnetic sensor therefore is included to address these purposes: 1.
