ArkNav - CT-X8

The CT-X8 Container Lock GPS Tracker is a rugged, tamper evident electronic lock built for shipping containers and transit cargo. It combines an internal GPS receiver, cellular communications, and a stainless steel lock mechanism in an IP67 rated housing to provide continuous location visibility, intrusion detection, and chain of custody evidence suitable for port, intermodal, and long haul logistics environments.

As a Plaspy compatible device, the CT-X8 transmits position fixes and door or tamper events into Plaspy for centralized monitoring and alerting. Its configurable reporting intervals and long life backup battery make it a practical choice for operators who need reliable, auditable tracking data and rapid notifications integrated into Plaspy dashboards and workflows.

Key Highlights

  • Built for container security with a tamper evident stainless steel lock mechanism for forensic evidence of unauthorized entry
  • IP67 rated housing and heat resistant casing for operation in harsh port and transit environments
  • Internal GPS plus cellular communications provide continuous location telemetry and event reporting
  • Configurable reporting intervals to balance real time visibility and extended field operation
  • Large backup battery for prolonged operation without external power
  • Designed to avoid accidental shutdown with no external power button and power filtering to improve reliability

How It Works with Plaspy

The CT-X8 streams location and intrusion events that Plaspy ingests, normalizes, and presents through its monitoring and alerting tools so operators can see live positions, review historical events, and respond quickly to incidents.

  • Real time location and route history displayed in Plaspy using configurable reporting rates
  • Immediate door open and tamper alerts routed into Plaspy for fast notification and evidence capture
  • SMS alerts with map links complement Plaspy notifications for mobile access to location context
  • Configurable reporting profiles managed alongside Plaspy settings to prioritize tracking during high risk windows or conserve battery during transit
  • Centralized event history in Plaspy simplifies audits, compliance reporting, and post incident review

Typical Use Cases

  • High value container security and anti theft monitoring during port calls and shipment transit
  • Chain of custody and compliance tracking for customs inspections and regulatory audits
  • Long haul intermodal cargo visibility across multiple transport segments
  • Port and yard operations monitoring to detect forced entry and accelerate incident response
  • Consolidated load monitoring where selective inspection reduces manual checks and dwell time
