How to Select the Right Wireless Protocol for Asset\nTracking System?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wireless protocol selection plays a major role in the\nentire asset tracking system designing. The selection of the protocol will\nentirely depend on the type of industrial applications to be designed<\/a>. Depending upon the protocol selection, the type of tag,\nrouter, hub and other infrastructure related to cloud and app are required\naccordingly. Here are some of the Personal Area Network protocol (PAN) for\nutilizing for short effective range application up to 100mtr: BLE, Zigbee,\nZ-wave, and Wi-Fi and some of the Wide Area Network (WAN) protocols are Wi-Fi,\nLTE Cellular, LPWA (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Sigfox, and more.) which can provide\neffective application range up too few Kilometers. Following are the critical\nparameter for the selection of the wireless protocol requirement to make it\naffordable, scalable and efficient according to industry needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely Accepted IoT based Asset Tracking Industry Applications<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any industry application that requires improvement in workflow, loss prevention of assets, service quality and productivity, would prefer to implement these kinds of tracking solutions. Depending on budget and ROI of the solution, the customer would choose between traditional RFID solution and latest IoT<\/a> based asset tracking solution. Here we will be focusing on some of the critical IoT based Asset tracking solutions successfully implemented in various industries and helped those industries to improve tremendously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based\non the application requirement is indoor or outdoor there will be many\nstructural changes at the solution designing level. For example, for outdoor\napplications GPS can give location with acceptable accuracy but when we need to\nidentify the location in the locality in the building where the GPS signal is\nnot good at that time, we must use special BLE functions like Angle of Arrival\n(AOA) and Angle of Departure (AOD) to identify the location of the device. AoA\nand AoD are different techniques. In AoD, the receiving device can calculate\nits own position in space using angles from multiple beacons and their\npositions (by triangulation). In AoA, the receiving device tracks arrival\nangles for individual objects. Using these technologies, we can get 0.5 m\nlocation accuracy even for indoor application. This kind of improvisation can\nbe useful in many such following industry applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing Industry:<\/strong> (Smart Manufacturing<\/a> Management, Smart Inventory Management)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing automation is one of the key aspects of today’s manufacturing processes optimization. Starting from raw material to final products, the asset is tracked at each stage to build a more efficient and productive system. Apart from the traditional asset tracking solutions using Barcode and RFID, solutions based on BLE beacons and Zigbee tags are getting more and more popular. These systems for moving assets can be better utilized for asset flow and material management. Integrating the asset tracking and inventory management system, companies are updating their inventory in real-time to avoid any unwanted situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transportation and Logistics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since\nthe inception of the asset tracking solution, logistics and transportation\nsegments are the most benefited and has become the prevalent use of such\nsolutions. Vehicle tracking, courier\/bag tracking, pallet tracking, smart\nparking, supply chain facilities are the key areas, where the benefit is well\nreceived. Using Wi-Fi, 4G\/LTE, and LPWAN, many successful solutions have been deployed\nin different applications. Most of the applications are built around the remote\nasset tracking solution, proactive maintenance system, real-time fleet\nmaintenance system, warehouse capacity optimization solution and route\noptimization solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare Industry:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare\nindustry is utilizing the IoT asset tracking solutions for their high-value\nequipment tracking to optimize the usage, prevention of theft, and improve\ntimely availability. Also, solutions are built to track human asset inside the\npremise to improve patient care and prevent any unwanted situations. Mostly\nthese solutions are built using short-range protocol BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave and\nWIFI based solutions. Integration of wearables, smart tags, and mobile phone\napplications are a key component of these solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retail Industry:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, the asset tracking solution in the retail industry is implemented to prevent loss of assets and to prevent unauthorized access in a certain critical area. But it can also be used to improve the customer experience with some level of automation on the billing process. The store inventory management is the most effective application of IoT based asset tracking solutions to utilize floor space most effectively, keep live inventory track, and improve productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
