Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon is an evolving technology & being actively used for tracking. Using BLE tracking tags, assets and staff can be tracked throughout buildings and within defined outdoor areas.

Key Features

  • Real-time tracking within premises
  • Cloud-based & Secure
  • Alarms & Alerts
  • SMS / Email Notification
  • Web console
  • Mobile consoles for assets

The system consists of 3 main components:

Using Bluetooth tags based on the iBeacon standards, means that the tags are manufactured in hundreds of combinations of form factor, battery size and additional sensors. This ensures that they’ll be a low-cost tag to achieve a huge range of specific use cases and scenarios.

The Bluetooth readers pick up messages from the Bluetooth tags and report the location of the tags back to the platform / application. Readers can be deployed at choke points for entry / exit monitoring, or more widely for full real-time location information of tracked assets. The system is flexible, enabling further readers to be added as required to extend the system’s footprint.

The Platform / Application brings the tracking information to life for users. Users are able to report on assets – to see the locations of specific assets or a group of assets, locations – to see which assets are at a specific location or just view a map to see the locations of all assets graphically. With built-in user profiles, administrators can ensure that authorised users can only view the assets & locations they need.

The asset tracking system is used in businesses of all sizes and also in enterprise customer segments as the first step towards change management. The industries where the solution can easily be implemented are Agriculture, Education, Retail, Hospitality, Logistics, Manufacturing, Pharma and Storage Warehouses.
