Different jobs require different approaches to machine tracking. Whether you’re storing seasonal equipment or transporting a machine across the country, one-size-fits-all tracking doesn’t always make sense. That’s where Trackunit Operating Modes come in.

With Trackunit Operating Modes, you can fine-tune how your telematics devices behave—balancing data frequency, battery usage, and network communication. These modes help you stay in control of your fleet’s performance and power consumption, no matter the scenario.

Each mode is built for a specific use case. Normal Mode is ideal for everyday job site activity, providing continuous, high-resolution data. Stock Mode reduces energy use for machines in storage, like seasonal equipment or backup assets. Transport Mode limits communication while assets are in transit, which helps avoid unnecessary battery drain. For highly restricted areas, Ocean Restricted Mode offers full shutdown of the device when the machine is idle.

This flexibility is especially helpful when managing large or distributed fleets. You can assign operating modes in bulk or adjust them on a per-asset basis. Whether using the administration app or editing directly from an asset’s profile, switching modes is quick and easy.

Trackunit Operating Modes also give rental companies more control. Since only the device owner can change these settings, renters can’t modify a device’s behavior without permission. This ensures consistent tracking and supports compliance with your operational policies.

By aligning device performance with how and where equipment is used, you reduce unnecessary data traffic, extend battery life, and improve the quality of insights across your fleet.
