Geofence
Virtual perimeter over a geographic area that triggers alerts when a vehicle enters or exits.
A geofence is a virtual perimeter defined over a real geographic area. When a vehicle equipped with a GPS tracker crosses this perimeter, the system generates an automatic alert.
Types of geofences in Rinho
- Circular: A center point and radius are defined. Most common for fixed locations like warehouses, clients or loading zones.
- Polygonal: Multiple points define an irregular shape. Ideal for routes, work zones or complex areas.
Rinho devices support 32 circular geofences and 32 polygonal regions configurable simultaneously.
Use cases
- Work zone control: Alert if a machine leaves the field or construction site.
- Deviation detection: Notify if a truck deviates from the assigned route.
- Speed zone: Limit speed within urban zones or industrial plants.
- Schedule control: Detect if a vehicle leaves outside permitted hours.
- Point of interest: Automatically record arrivals and departures from clients.
