Asset Tracking
Asset tracking refers to the systematic identification and monitoring of mobile operating equipment by location, status and use within a process. In the RFID context, objects are labelled with an identifier and captured automatically at defined points. In addition to RFID, BLE beacons are also used to locate tools or high-value operating equipment in a targeted manner. This creates an up-to-date view of availability and movements without manual maintenance of inventory records or search processes. The approach often complements an RTLS or object tracking when operating equipment must be monitored in a targeted way during ongoing operations. Asset tracking reduces search times and improves the availability of tools, containers and vehicles in daily operations.
