Software Development Projects
The company has developed a series of software products to fit particular customer requirements. Some examples:
MARL Technologies Inc.
This customer provides geotechnical coring services for their customers, who are geotechnical consultants, engineering construction companies, or property developers.
One of the tests which MARL’s equipment provides is the standard penetration test (eSPT), which records soil penetration after a series of measured blows, at various depths down the coring hole. The results determine the load bearing capacity of the soil, and this is a vital factor in foundation design for buildings and other engineered structures.
The MARL coring/testing hardware provides sensor readings which are transmitted to a third party database. The iTrack software product, called MARL eSPT, copies this data to a local database, and makes it accessible to MARL and its customers via a web service. After signing in, the viewer sees a map presentation of their core holes and can select any one for detailed information, which may only be seconds old.
Compact Compression Inc.
This company manufactures compressors which are used to enhance oil recovery. These compressors are supplied with hardware support. Information monitored, collected and used by Compact to maintain the fleet. The compressors are equipped with sensors which measure intake and discharge pressures, oil levels and temperatures, and other factors. This data is sent to a third party database, on scheduled intervals or as exceptions occur.
The iTrack software product is called SkyView. As with MARL eSPT, it replicates the data to a local database and grants access to Compact Compression and its customers through a web service. After a signing in, the viewer sees a map presentation of their wells/compressors, and can select any one for detailed information.
SkyView has been in 24/7 service for five years, with improvements/upgrades during this time. It currently supports more than 50 user operators, running more than 1100 compressors in six countries around the world.
Amulet Response
Amulet Response is an app written for our customer Sandhurst Consulting Inc. Sandhurst provides emergency response plans and associated training for clients including oil and gas companies, mining firms, pipeline operators, major municipalities, and institutions. These clients are mandated to maintain up-to-date and properly distributed emergency response plans (ERPs).
In an emergency, the priorities are assembling the appropriate response team and swiftly executing the ERP.
Amulet is an app written for both Android and iOS smartphones in Flutter, a common development language. A web version is also provided. The main functional features are:
- Events: Allows users to create an initial emergency event, notifying other users who can confirm their participation in the response. Notifications include event descriptions, map locations of the event, and responder locations.
- Chat: Enables initial responders to form a team, chat, share documents and photos, and potentially transition to other platforms through included links. Also, it is easy to add or edit responders.
- Map: Displays the locations of all responders and the event itself.
- Resources: Houses the actual ERP.
There are admin. features, including the ability to:
- Add or edit responders.
- Manage user groups, companies, divisions, and branches.
- Assign or modify user privileges.
The design requirements for Amulet were:
- Fully mobile: Responders can be anywhere.
- Independent of company/agency networks: An emergency can include a cyberattack or compromised network.
- Secure cloud-based data: Hosted on Google Firebase.
- Fast to set up and configure: Ensuring ease of deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tracking Devices
History
A GPS tracker is a GPS receiver connected to a mobile data transceiver. Early examples consisted of a GPS receiver, interfaced to a modem which was connected to a VHF radio. Today, they are nearly all self contained units, working through the 3G/4G cell networks. Some examples, designed for operation in very remote regions, operate through satellite communications networks. The main consideration is the operating area. This determines the communications network choice. In the case of the cell networks, which carrier has the coverage and service in the operating area. The next consideration is what is being tracked? It may be an individual, it may be a vehicle, or it may be some other type of mobile asset. This determines the form factor of the GPS tracker. Another consideration is what other data communication requirements does the unit have to address? Laptop connectivity is a common requirement. Status reporting of other vehicle systems is another one. This determines what features are required. Finally, what are the operating conditions? This determines the how “industrial” the product has to be. ITrack has a considerable amount of experience with a variety of different GPS tracker products. Contact us directly for advice.
GPS Modems
The tracker unit consists of a cellular modem with a built-in GPS receiver. They can be programmed to report their GPS positions at time and distance based intervals. They can function as standalone GPS trackers, but they are more commonly used to connect laptop computers to the internet or corporate intranet. These units are typically provided with Ethernet, USB, and serial connectors. Most have input/output ports for reporting on/off events from the vehicle. Some units are Bluetooth enabled. Some also have WiFi capability, in which case they function as wireless routers supporting any nearby WiFi equipped laptops. With 3G, 4G, and LTE cell networks, this is a very useful feature. GPS modems are recommended when they can be permanently installed in the vehicles, with external GPS and cell antennas. This work is best done by a radio shop, and the end result is very good long term reliability. For operation in fringe coverage areas, they can be operated with high gain antennas and antenna boosters.
Smart Phones
These devices function as trackers if they are GPS equipped, as most of them are. We provide software which captures the GPS position and sends it to the tracking server via the cell network and the internet. The GPS reporting intervals are a user setting. They remain fully functional in every respect.
These tracker types work well if they are permanently assigned to an individual, who also uses them for their designed purpose (they will be with the individual, they will be turned on, and they will be charged). There are several ways to link a smart phone to a vehicle.
Loki Laptop Tracker
Many laptops have built-in 3G/4G modules. Many also have built-in GPS. All current laptops have USB ports which can connect to and power an external GPS.
We provide Loki Laptop Tracker software. The software captures the GPS position and sends it to the tracking server via the cell network and the internet. Functionally, it is similar to the phone tracker software described above. This is an attractive option because it eliminates the need for a GPS modem, with a significant cost saving.
Hardened Trackers
These trackers are GPS modems which are mounted internally in metal cases. The GPS and cell antennas are mounted externally on the cases. Power and data ports are industrial design. The tracker units are sealed against water and dust. They are provided with mounting hardware which is specific to the vehicle type. Once an installation “design” has been finalized, these units can be installed and removed in minutes.
Hardened trackers are ideal for short term tracking requirements where the need for performance and reliability is also high.
Personal Locator Beacons (PLB)
Some PLB devices provide tracking via satellite networks where cellular coverage is inadequate. Many work alone safety programs require the use of PLB devices for situations where reliable tracking is needed.
These devices provide added safety features such as: SOS emergency button, location check-in capability, custom response messages, wearable tracking devices for elderly and more.
