Application: Proximity-Based Asset Tracking and Monitoring
Description
Proximity-based tracking monitors the real-time location and status of assets within predefined zones. This cost-effective solution is ideal for tracking individual items in open environments like warehouses, ensuring efficient and accurate asset management.
Devices
- Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons
Typical uses:
- Warehouses: Automatic inventory of assets
- Indoor positioning: Tracking assets’ location automatically
- Beacons emit signals that nearby receivers detect, enabling automatic inventory updates, zone-based monitoring, and alerts for misplaced or unauthorized item movements.
