Condor - CS-146 Features

This page provides a public feature overview of the Condor CS-146 and how its capabilities are reflected when used with Plaspy. It summarizes the CS-146 as a purpose-built container GPS tracker that transmits container position and status over cellular or satellite networks and is designed to integrate with Plaspy for real-time tracking, telemetry, and access monitoring.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation method, and manufacturer implementation. Use this page for high level planning and operational understanding, and refer to Condor documentation for the most current device specific details and installation guidance.

Feature Overview​

The CS-146 is focused on container control and cargo security, delivering position and access status into fleet management systems such as Plaspy. Its capabilities are intended to give operations teams improved visibility across intermodal transport legs and to support centralized access management and auditability.

  • Purpose built for container monitoring and cargo security with a compact form factor suitable for door or frame installation.
  • Transmits container position via cellular networks with satellite fallback to extend coverage where cellular is intermittent.
  • Remote open and close control reported back to the platform to support authorized access workflows and auditing.
  • Integrates with Plaspy for live maps, event history, and alerting to support operational oversight.
  • Helps reduce theft risk by combining location reporting and centralized access status into actionable alerts.
  • Designed for intermodal fleets where continuous visibility across truck, rail, and ship legs is important.

Core Features of Condor - CS-146​

  • Plaspy compatible device that forwards position and status messages into the Plaspy platform.
  • Dual path transmission strategy using cellular networks with satellite fallback for extended reach.
  • Remote open and close control support for container door access management.
  • Periodic and event driven reporting of position and container status for audit and history playback.
  • Compact form factor intended for straightforward installation on container doors or frames.
  • Operational telemetry suitable for triggering notifications and incorporating into Plaspy workflows.
  • Integration friendly so CS-146 data can be combined with other fleet telemetry sources in mixed deployments.

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When the CS-146 is connected to Plaspy, its position and status messages are processed into map views, event feeds, and automated workflows so operations teams can monitor containers in near real time. Plaspy converts incoming device messages into actionable telemetry and alerts to support incident response and logistics planning.

  • Live map display and location history playback using the CS-146 position reports.
  • Open and close events logged and shown in Plaspy for audit trails and access alerts.
  • Event driven messages available to trigger rules, notifications, and escalation workflows.
  • Telemetry and status fields usable in Plaspy dashboards and reports for operational visibility.
  • Combine CS-146 data with other telemetry sources in Plaspy to achieve unified reporting across mixed fleets.

Typical Use Cases​

  • Intermodal fleet tracking to maintain continuous location visibility across truck, rail, and sea legs.
  • Anti-theft and access control programs that require centralized remote opening and status verification.
  • Supply chain visibility for high value or time sensitive shipments needing continuous monitoring.
  • Satellite enabled tracking in regions with intermittent or no cellular coverage to maintain reach.
  • Operational audits and chain of custody verification using event logs and history in Plaspy.
  • Centralized monitoring of container fleets to improve routing, response, and asset recovery.

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Feature set and behavior can differ across firmware versions and hardware revisions; confirm capability with the installed firmware.
  • Installation type and mounting location may affect available status signals and event reporting.
  • Manufacturer regional variants or regulatory differences can influence connectivity options and configuration.
  • Remote open control may require specific wiring or integration steps and appropriate operator permissions.
  • For precise technical limits and configuration options consult the official Condor documentation.

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Pairing the Condor CS-146 with Plaspy gives organizations centralized visibility and tools to manage container fleets and cargo security. Plaspy turns device messages from the CS-146 into map views, event streams, and automated alerts so teams can act on access events, investigate location history, and maintain clear audit trails for shipments.
