Hi, When I saw your request for a GPS tracking collar, it reminded me of several rugged, battery-powered IoT devices I developed that combined GPS location tracking, sensor-based health monitoring, and emergency alert functions. These products were engineered for extreme environmental resilience, with water resistance, impact protection, and reliable field performance. ✅ With 11+ years of experience in mechanical and electrical design, GPS integration, and low-power embedded systems, I can deliver your tracking collar from concept through working prototype, ready to interface with your existing software platform. Before I outline a full development approach, may I clarify: 1. What is the expected battery life between charges? 2. Which health metrics should be monitored (e.g., heart rate, activity, temperature)? 3. Is there a preferred GPS module or cellular/LoRa communication method? 4. Are there size or weight constraints for animal comfort and safety? Two quick suggestions: ✅ Use low-power GPS modules with duty-cycled operation to extend battery life ✅ Apply ruggedized enclosure design with IP67 sealing and high-impact polymer housing for durability Freelancer doesn’t let me message first—please feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to help make your GPS tracking collar a reality.
