Asset Tracking
Asset Tracking solutions are able to provide real-time information on the position and status of people, assets, materials and semi-finished products within the work area (production line, warehouse, construction site, … ), providing continuous updates.
The traceability of assets, semi-finished/finished products allows to identify any production downtime, identify periods of inactivity, locate equipment more quickly.
In this way it is possible to create a digital twin of the production plant capable not only of providing real-time visibility of the processes but also of extracting system performance indicators. The direct result is a considerable increase in productivity and efficiency.

HOW IT WORKS
Our Asset Tracking solution is based on RTLS platforms from our technology portfolio: BLE, AoA, Mesh. The choice of the best-fit technology is based on the analysis of the technical, functional, operational and environmental requirements of the project.
Energy-efficient battery-powered tags are applied to the physical assets to be located and tracked (crates, containers, tools, devices, …). In case of critical assets, the tag can also monitor alarm events such as falls or impacts. The type of tag depends on several factors: the asset to be tracked, the expected battery life, indoor or outdoor use, …
A fixed infrastructure of antennas (also called locators or anchors) allows to receive the signal from the tags. Depending on the technology and the solution adopted, antennas can be mains-powered or battery-powered, and support different data connection technologies: Ethernet, WiFi, Mesh.
Raw data coming from the antennas are processed by the localization software, which provides the position and status data of the individual assets through APIs, for easy and seamless integration with application software or third-party systems. The localization software also comes with an intuitive graphical UI for system management and monitoring.
