CS-146 GPS Tracker — Plaspy compatible container tracker
The CS-146 is a purpose-built GPS tracker for container control and cargo security, designed to integrate seamlessly with Plaspy. As a Plaspy compatible device, the CS-146 transmits container position over cellular or satellite networks to deliver reliable location reports and operational status to your control room.
Built for demanding logistics and intermodal transport, the CS-146 enables remote opening and centralized control to reduce theft risk and ensure shipments reach their destination intact. Use it as part of a real-time tracking and fleet management strategy to increase visibility across every leg of a route.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed specifically for container monitoring and cargo security.
- Position transmission via cellular or satellite networks for wide-area coverage and uninterrupted tracking.
- Remote opening capability from the control room to manage access and streamline authorized loading/unloading.
- Improves anti-theft posture with centralized control and remote status updates.
- Integrates with Plaspy for real-time tracking, telemetry, and alerting across your fleet and assets.
- Suitable for intermodal fleets where cellular coverage is intermittent — satellite fallback extends reach.
- Compact form factor for straightforward installation on container doors or frames.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the CS-146 sends periodic and event-driven position and status updates to the platform, enabling live maps, geofencing, and alert workflows. Plaspy processes those messages into actionable dashboards and reports so operations teams can monitor containers, respond to access events, and manage logistics in real time.
- Real-time tracking: location reports are forwarded to Plaspy for live map display and history playback.
- Remote open/close events: the CS-146 supports remote opening from the control room and reports open/close status into Plaspy for audit and alerting.
- Telemetry and status: device messages can be used as telemetry inputs in Plaspy to trigger notifications and rules.
- Alerting and anti-theft: unauthorized or unexpected access events can generate immediate alerts to operators through Plaspy.
- Integration-friendly: Plaspy can combine CS-146 data with other telemetry sources (fuel monitoring, ignition status, Bluetooth sensors) when used in mixed fleets for unified reporting.

Use Cases
- Fleet management for intermodal operations — track container location across truck, rail and ship legs and view consolidated history in Plaspy.
- Anti-theft and access control — remotely open or verify container door status from the control room to reduce unauthorized access.
- Supply chain visibility — ensure high-value or time-sensitive shipments are monitored and audited from origin to destination.
- Extended coverage scenarios — use satellite-enabled transmission where cellular coverage is unreliable to maintain continuous tracking.
- Operational audits — integrate open/close event logs into Plaspy reports for compliance and chain-of-custody verification.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The CS-146 offers a focused solution for container security that plugs into Plaspy’s real-time tracking and telemetry ecosystem. By pairing a container-grade GPS tracker with Plaspy, operators gain centralized visibility, automated alerts, and the ability to remotely control access — all essential for modern fleet management and anti-theft programs. Even when advanced vehicle signals such as ignition or fuel monitoring are required, Plaspy can combine CS-146 container data with other asset trackers and Bluetooth sensors to create a full telemetry picture across your operations.
Choosing a Plaspy compatible device like the CS-146 reduces integration complexity, speeds deployment, and ensures your container tracking data feeds directly into established reports and workflows. That means faster incident response, clearer audit trails for cargo handovers, and higher confidence that goods will arrive at their destination securely.
