Why use ble Bluetooth beacons for Real time asset tracking?

How does Bluetooth Asset Tracking work?

For Enterprises, attempting to track their various asset’s location and status can be time-consuming, costly, and unnecessarily complicated if done manually. The asset tracking devices integrated with the BLE Technology market have gained considerable success of late, offering businesses a more straightforward approach. Let’s take a closer look at some of the current asset tracking methods.

Bluetooth Low Energy for asset tracking and monitoring is growing in popularity.

Enterprises need physical asset tracking solutions that make it easier for them to track equipment, inventory, and assets. So that they can streamline operations, increase productivity, and improve efficiency. But traditional solutions are confined by cumbersome, costly, or ineffective asset trackers and data gateways.

Before knowing how Bluetooth Asset tracking works, lets first discuss what exactly is BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) technology.

What is Bluetooth low energy?

Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) is a form of wireless communication designed especially for short-range communication. BLE is very similar to WiFi in the sense that it allows devices to communicate with each other. However, BLE is meant for situations where battery life is preferred over high data transfer speeds. BLE Sensor Beacons are beacons that communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE).

How does Bluetooth Asset Tracking work?

Bluetooth temperature sensor beacons work on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. They are similar to data loggers when it comes to logging data. Still, they are smaller, and their transmission is more efficient.

These devices are small radio transmitters, strategically mounted throughout assets, to broadcast low energy Bluetooth signals in a given range. This range depends on hardware capability. This BLE signal from the beacon is capable of triggering a specific action relevant to the location.

They need a gateway hotspot which receives the sensor readings and uploads them to a cloud using LTE or WiFi. The gateway hotspot adds a location tag to the picture using GPS or cellular triangulation to verify which location the data was captured.

 

Key Features of BLE Asset Tracking

  • Real-time tracking within premises
  • Increased Security
  • Alarms & Alerts
  • Increased efficiency and productivity
  • Reduced operational costs
  • Reduction in spoilage of goods
  • Productivity monitoring
  • SMS/Email Notification

 

Here Are Some of the Characteristics of Bluetooth Asset Tracking

  1. Low power consumption

BLE is designed to address the power usage problem, which means BLE Beacons consume low energy or power. While designing the BLE protocol, the primary motivation was to have low energy consumption such that wireless devices can last for years together with extended battery life.

  1. rapid installation and easy integration

There is no need for infrastructure like cables required at destinations

Parameters can be controlled from a smartphone. They can extract data in the middle of the trip using a smartphone if needed. It does not require any additional infrastructure instead works on LED lighting power and the user’s mobile phones (staff).

BLE Beacons provide real-time Geo-locations; therefore, they are versatile for both indoor and outdoor environment positioning.

  1. Bluetooth temperature sensors can carry additional sensors like humidity, shock, tamper, etc.
  2. Free Gateway to the Internet

BLE devices can easily connect to handheld devices connected to the internet through WiFi or GSM. BLE networks do not require an additional gateway device. The handheld devices act as a free gateway to the internet for the BLE network, ensuring ease of use and additional costs.

  1. High Coverage Range

BLE Beacons provides you four times a better range of coverage to scan the assets than earlier methods. With the implementation of a high and extended coverage range, you will need less hardware with reduced errors and reduced expenses.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) And Asset Tracking

For most businesses today, the main reason for their concern is simple, efficient, and cost-effectively streamlined asset tracking.Bluetooth asset tracking is concerned to provide a healthy solution to the industries dealing with their assets in a complicated way.Eelinktech provides advanced asset tracking management solutions, which raises the bars of tracking power through real-time asset tracking.
