IoT Indoor Asset Tracking: Optimizing Operations for Businesses of All Sizes

How Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) Improve Efficiency

Advancements in digital technology have revolutionized asset tracking. Previously limited to large enterprises, affordable and easy-to-use indoor asset tracking solutions are now accessible to businesses of all sizes. These IoT-enabled asset management systems empower managers and employees with real-time visibility of critical assets, unlocking a range of practical benefits.

Transforming Businesses with Indoor Asset Tracking

Imagine the efficiency of Walmart's inventory management or how transportation and logistics companies seamlessly track drivers and vehicles. The secret to their success? Efficient asset tracking! By recognizing the value of organization, they invested heavily in these technologies. Now, similar industrial asset tracking solutions are available to everyone.

Unlocking Potential with Asset Tracking Platforms

Asset tracking platforms are a powerful enterprise IoT solution . These platforms use small tags and an accompanying app to allow workers to locate assets quickly. However, the true power lies in the data collected by the IoT cloud. The platform gathers and analyzes usage data to reveal valuable trends. Stakeholders can leverage these insights to optimize business productivity.

For example, the platform can track employee movement throughout the day. Data analytics can reveal bottlenecks impacting mobility. Additionally, location data can provide insights into how individuals spend their time, enabling management to improve efficiency by strategically redistributing tasks.

Technologies Behind Indoor Asset Tracking

Several technologies work together to achieve indoor asset tracking, with complexity varying based on specific business needs. Generally, two main categories exist: wide-area outdoor tracking (typically GPS) and precise indoor location tracking.

Indoor Asset Tracking Challenges

While GPS excels outdoors, its accuracy plummets indoors. This is where indoor asset tracking comes in. Indoor tracking typically requires a combination of technologies, each with its own advantages and limitations:

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): Ideal due to small, long-lasting tags, but receivers are larger and have shorter range.
• Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN): Emerging network technologies designed for large-scale IoT platforms. LoRa is a well-suited LPWAN option for indoor asset tracking due to its long range and ability to penetrate buildings.
• Ultra-Wide Band (UWB): Offers high-precision, three-dimensional asset tracking, but it's the most expensive option.

Making Informed Decisions

Business decision-makers don't necessarily need to become technical experts. Having a general understanding of available solutions is often sufficient.
