Benefits
BLE based asset tracking and monitoring technology has several benefits:
- Real-time tracking within premises
- Cloud-based and Secure
- Notifications and Alerts
- Productivity Monitoring
- Motion Studies
- SMS/Email/WhatsAppAlerts and Notifications
- Web and Mobile Dashboards for Assets
How is BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) better than other available technologies?
- BLE tags and beacons are the most economical tracking tags other than passive RFID tags. BLE tags can of different sizes and shapes.
- BLE tags are most power-efficient, with a very long battery life. Batteries can be replaced in every two to three years.
- There is no need to acquire high-cost RFID or QR code readers and you can manage your budget in a better way.
- Unlike RFID readers, there is no need to train people to use them. BLE tags can read in low cost devices, including Mobile phones and low-cost gateways.
- BLE beacons are also relatively low cost and have a range of about 100 ft..
- BLE can be directly connected to the cell network rather than using bandwidth on the Enterprise network. This also improves security by reducing the number of IoT items connected to the network.
- BLE tags and beacons allow you to connect all of your physical assets, regardless of their location.
- BLE technology allows you to connect the physical to the digital, track assets and cross-reference them to tasks.
- BLE tags being economical, even low cost assets can also be tagged, which were beyond earlier asset tracking networks.
- BLE beacons can come with integrated sensors and so can be designed for your specific use requirement.
